I had this same concern, but at least for Jeep type tinkerers it's probably less of a problem. I have a friend in town who's replaced his gen 1 Prius battery himself. Kind of a fun project honestly and not that difficult. He's somewhere over 300K, not sure the # of batteries he's replaced. I'm...

Ok I'm curious now, what made the Hummer EV a trainwreck? Was it the size?

I'm just waiting for the Rivian or the F150 Lightning to be out long enough to build a crawler or an Ultra4 buggy out of one.?

Added a Garfield to my back window Trying to get our cat used to the Gladiator so he can camp with us.

Great looking jeep! Curious, you obviously like some of the Icon gear, why did you personally choose the Mopar lift over going with an Icon kit?

I just read about this study the other day in relation to the VW fiasco and multitude of other "institutional lying" scandals: Groups are more likely to lie than individuals. The crib notes version: "We observed that groups lie significantly more than individuals when group members face mutual...

Something from Ursa could get really interesting. I love my OVRLND pop-up on the JT, but Ursa often does some creative and innovative designs over the rest of the options out there. Besides the JL/JK top they do full roof conversions on things like Transit vans. Imagine on the JT something that...

You actually could, OVRLND who did my non-bobbed JT, does some interesting custom popup shells. They've done a 90s Bronco and a Gen 1 4runner. Not sure how practical it would be, but at least as good as a Ursa Minor on a JL.

Haha, going from a 6' Taco bed to the 5' bed I had serious tiny bed sweats. I measured all the JT bed dimensions and made a mockup out of cardboard and pallets in my garage to see if my stuff would fit.

Sounds good, thanks again for the feedback from everyone. 90% of my engine work experience is on various years of the Jeep inline 4.0, so hoped at 3400 miles this is the norm for the 3.6. There's also a related thread on the JL forum which also basically came to the same conclusion, as well as...

That Teraflex system is interesting, I assume the angles I drive aren't considered extreme, more mining/logging roads, less step up/downs and bumper digs. I was wondering if the oil came from the PCV valve since the oil is near where it attaches. I'm going to assume this is normal, but hop in...

I hope not, since it's inside the hose between the filter and engine. I'm wondering if it is part of the engine break-in process, valve seals getting conditioned/settled.

So I had my air filter box out this weekend and noticed there was a little bit of used looking oil (about 1 teaspoon worth) pooled up in the air intake hose about 3" up from the air box. This isn't normal, right? This is on a 3 month old JTR with the 3.6 and a little over 3000 miles. Been...

I have this on my list for the exact same air compressor. I'm planning on routing the Anderson to my bumper so I don't have to open my hood. The number of people who stop to make sure things are okay when I have my hood up airing up tires improves my view on humanity, but I would rather avoid...

It took awhile, but wasn't that bad to do going slow and double checking everything. For me a snorkel is about dust (so far), I'm on dirt roads most of the time and like having the prefilter option. This vid/post was supper helpful for the AEV.

Decided at 2 months old it was time to start cutting and drilling on my JTR:

Yeah, this is the only thing that I truly hate about my JT. Makes zero sense.

I've done the Hi Lift winch technique in the past on my old F150 that didn't have a winch. Worked well, but I really needed to think it through since the jack was at horizontal instead of vertical. I think a "come-along" would make a good ATV winch in a pinch, but at least mine is only good for...

Search "ronny dahl winch" on Youtube, he's very competent and covers multiple important topics. Start with the respool/pretension video. Also, anyone out there sporting a hi-lift jack, he also has some good hi-lift videos before you tear off your face with the handle. While you're at it, also...

Not that crazy, I have some petroleum engineer friends who have the capability to test their own oil, none of them do <50K mile oil changes in a variety of vehicles! Including turbos, regular v8s, v6s, etc. (no diesels though). They were only seeing a 20% breakdown and low particulate. A couple...
