    Considering selling the LC for a Grenadier

    Service and parts are a disaster. Was all set to get one, got serious,,,,,,,,,, back to my greatest joys in wheeling all over the world, LCs rule. The Grenadier appeals to a very niche group. If it's truly a toy and getting disappointed, the depreciation etc doesn't matter, go head on and...

    DV8 Front Bumper dropping soon!

    As long as there is manual operation when the wireless goes bad for any number of reasons I am sure it can be. You won't be sorry with the Warn, you may know this already. I am excited for you this is going to be a great mod and adder to your LC.

    Nashfabco - New Ditch Light Brackets & Rear Half Ladder

    The ladder looks like a good way to get hurt if its cold and wet or worse. What an abortion. The rest looks good.

    DV8 Front Bumper dropping soon!

    Can't wait to see how it comes out and your recommendation to do this to mine or not. My LC should be here about the time you get this completed if you get on it. If we were a bit closer I would offer to help since you stepped up and will advise the rest of this. What winch does it use from...

    Understand. It will be interesting to see how this all sorts out. Been through this on several other vehicles. I may be expecting too much when changing things that always affect the steering and handling. Great project.

    Thats alot of weight, alot. How do you compensate for the rear end being lower and the front end wanting to kick up a bit? I am very temped to do something similar on a second LC base model, however the weight is always an issue in the past. I am looking at the ARB system because its metal and...

    Disable auto start stop?

    The start stop function is very very well done on the LCs. Almost not noticeable. How the drive train will age is yet to be discovered in general use. Some of us are more interested in trying something newer and requires some creative thinking and open mindedness some not so much. There are...

    Oil Filter Size

    Amsoil offers several grades of filter for the 2024+ LCs. The longer duration filters offer more filtering residue tolerance. I have been using them for years on various gas and diesel vehicles with great success. If I get the Jeep trashed with dust, I change the oil and filter ASAP...

    LC stock wheels vs aftermarket ?

    LC stock wheels vs aftermarket ? What's the advantage if any? The stock wheels seem to be very good. Beadlocks ok, I have them on my Jeep, different application. Otherwise, looks and maybe bigger wheels is the only thing i see thats really obvious. Are they lighter, i doubt it, stronger???

    Sof-Tex or Leather

    Consider the more important features and don't worry about the seat material both are very good. We like the brown/ tan, material is much less important.

    Great to See TrailRecon bought one..

    He goes where the best pimping action is. Jeeps are going to be evil as long as the foreign owned company situation continues, ruined. He is a promoter and add guy, nice little nice following. The YouTuber economy.

    Main battery boost charge?

    Returning to LCs - Greetings all

    NorCal fellow incoming 2025 LC expected mid January. Came back to LCs after a brief Grenadier illness, what a mistake that would have been. A really good forum from what I have seen and read to date. Had a few LCs in the middle east and a FJ 40 I miss them all.
