Aluminum vs. steel

Many vehicles have started switching parts from steel over to aluminum.

• General

  • https://tampasteel.com/differences-between-aluminum-and-steel/

  • Aluminum pros

    • Lighter

    • Doesn’t rust like steel

    • Dissipates heat faster

  • Aluminum Cons

    • Not as structural, getting the same strength as steel requires thicker material

    • More expensive

    • Harder to repair (generally)

    • More prone to tear or fracture than steel is

  • Steel Pros

    • Stronger metal

    • Bends rather than fractures, easier to hammer back into shape

    • More affordable (generally)

    • Easter it repair

  • Steel Cons

    • Heavier

    • Very prone to rust

    • Holds Heat

• Body panels

  • Weight savings

  • Possibly more expensive to repair

  • Jeep doors easier to take on and off

• Armor

  • Weight savings

  • Panels generally need to be thicker to get the same strength

  • Aluminum has a tendency to fracture rather than bend

• Other components

  • Drivetrain

    • Lighter components

    • More efficient heat dissipation

  • Wheels

    • Lighter, less rotational weight

    • Harder to repair on the trail

    • Easier to crack

    • Harder to hammer back into shape

    • Looks nicer. ;)

JK vs JL Weight (source: https://offroadingpro.com/how-much-does-a-jeep-wrangler-weigh/)

JKU Sport weight: 4,075

JLU Sport weight: 4,167

JK steel front door: about 62 pounds

JL aluminum front door: about 47 pounds

JK hood: 47 lbs

JL hood: 22 lbs

JL has aluminum doors, hood and windshield frame, and some body panels.

The hinges are cast aluminum too.

JL tailgate is made of magnesium alloy

Indications are the JL aluminum panels have more issues with corrosion than the steel JK panels did.

    • kyle chaney in a freaking can am came in second

    • live stream was fun but i'm a little disappointed by the behavior

  • Still fighting this shoulder

  • Setting myself a goal to get started on these dang axles as soon as my shoulder will let me. Keep my accountable folks! :D

• In general

  • First time? Dont panic!

  • Ensure Safety and enjoyment

  • Possibly share “fun facts” about the trails

  • Carry first aid / fire extinguisher

  • Tread lightly principles

  • Long time wheeler? Remember the actual wheeling is only part of the job

  • Some distinction

    • Are you leading strangers? Or your buddies?

      • This list assumes youre leading strangers.

• Responsibilities

  • Know where you're going

    • Even if I know the park, I use trail maps all day long.

      • Maprika is great for some

      • OnX, trails off-road, whatever is accurate in your area

  • Know the trails well enough to advise folks

  • Know the capabilities of the vehicles in your group

    • And try to judge the temperature of the drivers

      • Are they looking for a challenge

      • Are they looking for an easy day in the woods

      • Do they have experience

• Driver meeting

  • Be open and talk about you a little, who you are, what youre driving, what sort of experience you bring. Dont brag.

  • Try to loosen up the group if they need it.

    • Ask about their experience level

    • Auto vs manual

    • Vehicles

    • Where they are from

    • Electric vehicles?

    • This is both about learning about the group, and about getting the group used to talking to each other.

• On the trails

  • To 4-low or not to 4-low

  • Keep the group together

  • Keep communications active

  • Make sure everyone knows youve got their back if they need it

  • Keep attentive to folks needs. This means food, bathroom breaks, kids who have been crammed in the back of a vehicle all day.
