I did the same thing. It was a lot more stable, but it still blipped out on me fairly routinely. By that I mean the screen would flash off car play for just long enough to get my attention, but would be connected back by the time I actually looked at it. This was more distracting than...

I'm pretty sure it is the wiring in the Jeep. This has been a fairly common problem on the JL forum as well. I was able to limit it disconnecting on me by making sure the fuses for the USB were seated properly, but it is starting to creep up again. It's not the lightning/USB wire - I've used...

I gave up on CarPlay. The connection in my center console constantly disconnects on me, and I can't stand having the wire coming from the media port on the dash. I used my phone mainly for navigation, so instead of running it through the head unit, I just mounted it up on the dash with a 67...

You can say that again. A couple of weeks ago I drove from Plant City to Lakeland (about 12 miles) and in that stretch I went through about 1/2 gallon of wiper fluid. Didn't have a choice - I couldn't see through all the splattered bugs on the windshield.

I've noticed that about the Birmingham area as well - parents used to live in Helena, and I've been up that way a number of times this past year preparing them and then moving them in with us here in FL. People up there just don't wave nearly as much as down here. I notice that most stock...

What did I do to my Gladiator today? A whole lot more than I intended to (and not in a good way). Finally got around to looking at my Badlands Apex winch. Installed it a while ago on the Jeep, tested it, tension spooled the rope, and then went about my life. First time I tried to use it, I...

Next week and the week following are going to be a bear at work, and I think a day out in the Jeep would do my stress levels good. I’ve been wanting to go up to Ocala to try to get the badge, but I’m not sure I’m ready for a solo trip. Anyone interested in joining me?

Summer in Florida = massive downpours at a moment's notice. Top stays on for me pretty much from late April through early October. I still find it funny that the topless driving for me is mainly in December through March!

I have a couple acres that the prior owner used for a very poorly designed and planted orchard. Cut down most of the trees (as they were dying anyway), and pulled the stumps using a chain and the tow hook on the back of the Jeep. However, there were a couple stumps that were too strong, and...

I'd be very tempted to trade in my 2020 max tow sport for a new Rubicon or Mojave with the half doors if I knew my life expectancy could be measured in a timeframe higher than minutes after my wife found out...

I'm not sure about the other schools, but I hated home football weekends at Auburn when I was in grad school there. Tailgaters started showing up on Tuesday (or, alternatively, never left if there was a home game the prior weekend), and they took up all the parking lots for the students. On...

I had half doors on my 2dr JK Willys. Got them as the free option when I ordered the Jeep. If they offered them as a free option when I got my Gladiator, I would have jumped at the option. Miss having the half doors, but $5k is just too steep for me to justify...

As an old Florida Man (native) coming from a long line of old Florida Men (native) - ^ this. Our crazy comes with a modicum of class...

My "other" car (i.e., the wife's) is an Outback. It comes equipped with a manatee sticker and a couple of dog stickers. But she balances that out with a Tampa Bay Lightning sticker and a Scotland rugby sticker. Oh, and she has a very nerdy personalized license plate. So basically she is a...

That's the way I interpreted it as well. Kinda like the massive screen I had in my Mustang - it didn't have any gauges there, just the screen, and you had the options of how it was laid out and what it showed. Really liked playing around with that, adjusting according to my mood.

Price drop to $200. Distance I'm willing to travel is reduced proportionally. If these aren't sold in a week they will be disposed of.

I went with blue on my GCM Willys JK, but never got farther than shackles. Going the same route with my GCM JT. But again, only made it to a shackle thus far. Hey - I’m a government accountant. Creativity is not my strong point.

I have 4 stock wheels/tires off my Sport (max tow) - 245/75/r17s. Taken off at 9k miles, and includes TPMS sensors. Spare is not included. Local (central FL) pickup only, but I can drive a bit if needed (but not too far for this price). $250 (or best offer) for all 4.

I could sit on that porch for hours. My grandfather’s portrait is on the wall in the main building there - he was one of the founders of the YMCA Leader’s School, so I have pictures of me on that porch dating back nearly my entire 50 years of existence! My relatives actually lived in Montreat...

Yeah, but you have one thing I definitely don't have - topography! A while back one of my staff commented about going mountain biking. I corrected him - he was going biking. No, mountain biking he insisted. I pointed out that the highest point in Florida is about 500 feet, and far from being...
