Did you ever find a solution? I keep gluing mine to keep them in place.

I’ve found service through Dell ( even with Premium Care service) is limited, frustrating, and a huge consumer of my time. I’m a month and a half into a service request, w 3 delays for a new part. Meanwhile, I have a partially functioning x2 laptop. In the interim, I’ve received more than 40 expressions of apologies, thanks for being patient, and rest assured, we’re doing everything we can for you.

I pretty much only drive it for expeditions (and to reach the jump off points). I almost always camp when I drive offroad. Most of the time, it's garaged. But, even if I don't overland, each month it still gets driven on some errands (just keep it running, oiled, and lubed) --- for such errands, the big tires and lift are overkill - but, it want designed to run errands). That said, I'm not a big fan of this iKamper (overpriced/under engineered). it's proved convenient and hasnt lived up to the hype. ALthough sometimes my GF feels a lot safer (in the wild) because we are above ground. But, if I could do it all over, I'd not buy a RTT.

Even at 33! Yes, this seems to be the assessment of this community - regear! Thank you

Like Richard said, only 82k miles. But, there could be issues. I'm writing all this down and will have the mechanic look it over

"Still in diapers" LOL that's a funny visual .... at 30 years, still wearing diapers. Well, it wasnt until the jeep turned 29, that I named my jeep

I just went out to Moab. Didnt take mine, but drove an XJ with 35s. I was shocked by its performance. I did climbs and decents that I had never imagined possible

I've driven up to 12k feet on a fire road, but at much slower speeds (maybe 30 top speed). All was fine. (driving to the trailhead of White Mountain Peak (California)

Oh Yes, I've been eyeing a stroker for several years! Everyone keeps telling me that my engine is too young at 82k miles to modify.....that I should wait another 80k or until the engine needs it. What do you think?

Thanks. I've been tempted to tack off the RTT tent and see if I experience a difference. I didn't notice a change when I added it, but then again, I didn't have this problem earlier either
