So I guess the right way to say it is that Rock-Trac Full Time 4WD is the same as Selec-Trac. The only exception being that the Rubicon's transfer case is 4:1 and everything else is 2.6:1 (I think that's the ratio) in low range. So in 4H Auto, there is no difference between Selec-Trac and...

By the way, just a clarification. In the Rubicon SelecTrac is called Roc-Trac They are teh same thing.

Have you read any of Kevin Cameron's stuff?? The books are mostly collections of his columns. The first one is Top Dead Center, is primarily a reprint of his best TDC columns. Kevin is fiercely smart and has a great wit. He was one of the top privateer tuners in the motorcycle racing world...

Your post implies something but I'll say it explicitly. What works for low speed cooling, when cooling isn't really necessary, can be bad for high speed cooling. Any kind of scoop in the hood at low speed will allow air to escape under the hood when rock crawling or just driving slow. But...

One of the reasons I ordered was because dealers don't tend to stock SelecTrac trucks. Which is surprising in New England. I pretty much put it on in Dec and turn it off in Mar. During the warmer months it goes on manually every time the road is wet. I could just leave it on, but I'm...

One option to the chalk test that we used to use when I raced was white kiwi liquid shoe polish. It lasts a bit longer which may be better or worse depending on your situation. Its not better. Its just a different tool. One method is to measure temperature across the tread. Back in the old...

Sorry but your experience as LE and Mil does not present anything even remotely like what most of us have to manage. I'm sure you are highly experienced and safe, with impeccable credentials and training. But most of us have to balance many factors. I am not LE or Mil but have been shooting...

That's what pushed me into the Mojave. Every other model felt underdamped. The Mojave felt like the suspension was well sorted out with softer spring rates and firmer damping.

It sucks for me and English is my first language. I couldn't image even trying if German was my first language. Ha.

I'm a big fan of adaptive cruise. I use it constantly on my wife's Volvo, so it was a no brainer when I ordered my Jeep. But as implemented on the Gladiator it sucks. It primarily fails in this use case: You are tooling along with a certain following distance set to the car in front of you...

Ha. I'm guessing that was in the first post and I just glossed over it. Thanks.

Its funny. Most of the tire pressure threads here center around lowering the pressure. My truck came with the Falken Wildpeaks set at 40 and the ride was choppy. I lowered them to 36 and it got better. I lowered them to 30 and it was too soft. I ended at 33 psi cold. Do what works for you.

I never even knew there was a rear seat buzzer until I saw this thread. I'll play around with mine today if I remember.

Great advice. Their printed/pdf instructions are terrible. Really bad. Their YouTube videos are helpful, but there aren't enough of them covering enough topics.

I'm not making excuses for them but its not necessary anyway. I did the math in a thread on stand alone batteries for winching from a real trailer hitch and concluded that a $130 starting battery was good for somewhere between 20 and 40 full length pulls before needing to be recharged. In...

Its not about hiding the fact that you use a Tazer so much as it is that they may blame its presence for them having trouble reading certain things. My dealer told me that they have no problems with me having it. But if I come in with a problem and it is solved by unmarrying the tazer and...

Well, then I guess you will just need to get a Tazer. Ha.

This is a must get if you will be using the dealer for warranty service and/or Jeep wave oil changes.

bump - still for sale. Make me an offer.

Who knows. Maybe they got a bunch of tires in and can resell them for $88 with FREE shipping. Ha.
