I think I need an old Land Cruiser to park next to the LJ...

The article says the system has to be able to accept OTA updates. If I were an evil dickhead, I'd learn from the EPA defeats and take a page from the video game industry - build a system that has to call in and authenticate itself with the mothership for it to work.

Bet you a dollar your car won't start or shift into gear if the system is obscured or disabled - just like how running out of DEF prevents a diesel from starting despite it being perfectly capable of running without DEF.

$2,500 is peanuts when nearly every trim already has over $6,000 in cash stacked on the hood for returning owners (so, pretty much everyone on this forum), and they cover the sales tax, and 0% APR. You get $9,500 back if you go for the Rubicon or Mojave. You say it's better than a poke in...

Every time there's a thread about tracking devices some idiot has to show up and say "Uh. well, akshually your cell phone.." WE KNOW! I can turn a phone off, I can leave it at home, I can install VPNs and blocking software that prevents apps from reporting to 3rd parties (it's integrated into...

We just changed the belt on the LJ. The only tool needed was a 3/8" ratchet to move the tensioner - and now I want to do terrible things to the engineer who decided that removing the damned alternator was necessary to route a serpentine belt.

In the video it's explained he thought he was approaching a table-top, not a gap jump and set his speed to hop up on top. That's the name of a Jeep rental outfit in Moab and I think they have one in Silverton to do some of the passes in that area.

Came here to post exactly this. I'm all for buying another tool if I have half a reason, but the fan sprinkler does the trick for me.

Went to buy a wire wheel and return a couple things, came home with a wire wheel, four bags of top soil, a bag of potting soil, a bag of peat moss, three large outdoor pots, a bag of bark, and some of that white stuff to help with soil drainage

It’s about frequency of inconvenience. A tire swing or tire in the bed is in my way every day. A tire under the bed is an inconvenience a few times during the ownership of the truck (and less so because I carry a tarp to kneel on)

I really don't have to get under the truck much at all to get my spare (yes, I have used it on off road trips). I crank it down and just reach in to pull the cross bar out of the center bore, then slide it out. Am I the only one who keeps a small, cheap tarp in the truck for exactly these...

I have a 35” on a matched Method beadgrio. I put it in the stock location where it belongs - out of the way, using space that isn’t used for anything else, and keeping the weight close to the back axle. I don't understand putting it behind the tailgate for worse weight distribution and making...

By your mow pattern, I see you are man of exquisite taste and refinement.

If Toyota built a Jeep competitor, I’d buy it. If Nissan still made the solid axle Patrol and had it for sale in the USDM I’d buy it. CR has always gotten a stiffy for Toyota, even when it isn’t warranted - but you have to admit that our vehicles are not built well and aren’t reliable when...

I don’t typically wave or even notice others doing it, I’m not usually checking out other Jeeps because they are so common - unless it’s something really cool like an LJor old CJ. My wife will often say “that one gave you a wave” when she’s in the passenger seat. The way people drive around...

Step 1: get selected Step 2: Order limited edition pinky promise for realities this time Step 3: try to flip it after Jeep decides it’s not so special after all Step 4: Join class action lawsuit Step 5: profit for the lawyers

When I was a kid my dad got stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii for a few years. One year he took me out of school for a week and we went to Maui to go snorkeling, whale watching, and hang out (the deal was I had to do a long presentation on humpback whales and their migration routes for...

Bolt in the top first, then bench press the bottom up and slide the bolt in. You can compress a shock by hand with some force, it won't move quickly, but it will move. The other option is to bolt the top in, then cut the packing band and quickly get the bolt in as it expands.
