Yep, they're not exactly spending the $ to sift the pebbles out of the sand in a state with lots of roads and low population and shitty "sand". For the amount of time I spend on gravel (weekly, almost daily), it's a bit embarrassing that all except one of my cracked windshields were on pavement...

About the same, 40K on my original Gorilla Glass, got some chips, but no cracks, no bullseyes. One reason I like being in a part of MT that uses mag chloride instead of sand. We'll see out the underbelly holds up though 😐 Our Wrangler went from 3 windshields in 5 years with road sand to the...

Besides the seals others posted above for the sides, I used a full tailgate gap seal for the tailgate bottom gap. The others didn't hold well in that spot, this completely covers it. I also taped over the various drain holes since I was putting a cap camper on top. I could never get the top...

Although it's return is only rumor (I think), I wonder where the Dakota will get built, even being IFS I'm sure it'll share a lot of the components of a Gladiator if the JT is still around at that point.

We're in a similar boat, we jumped on a good deal for the F-350 config we wanted. Haven't decided what's going in the back, a slide-in or a chubby. We'll probably keep the OVRLND on our JT for as long as we have the JT, we get a lot of non-camping utility out of it for us.

Boring comparison doing apples vs apples. I'm taking delivery soon on a "short" 148" wheelbase F-350 soon, it'll be fun comparing it on Montana trails vs my JTR which I'm definitely doing. Will be measured in pinstriping and "Nopes" on obstacles, hopefully no "Oh shits".

I never got any wind noise or whistling, with the passenger window down I get a nice throaty intake sound (not the obnoxious & weird Taco snorting/wheezing on the 4th gens with the air intake). This was my first install, YT is your friend and AEV's instructions were good. This snorkel goes...

Mine is still "fine", it had a period of misleading codes, but after a reset's been behaving the last few years. The WranglerFix ECU replacement is tempting while it's still available. That plus a tune would be interesting.

Did you notice a dust difference on your bikes with the higher mount? I would expect less, but curious. My bikes get super scuzzy on trips. Awesome looking trip, I like the Polebridge area. NW Montana forests give me the impression a dinosaur is going to pop-out at any moment. I think the...

Yeah, I love our LJR, but am finally going to swap or a performance rebuild on the 4.0 for traveling around Montana+. Flat is fine, but there is no pulling hills here.

I live in MT and don't feel a lack of power with my JTR if I don't care about lighting money on fire in MPGs trying to pull a pass at 80. I have to have serious wind and be up on my payload to feel the lack thanks to the low gearing and transmission. That's maintaining speed, accelerating vs a...

Related to the rim width part, I wish Jeep would ship with 8" wide rims on the Rubicon to properly fit the typical 35" tire width (12.5) that the rest of the vehicle easily fits. Ford did this for the Ranger Raptor. I'm fine running 11.5, but seems like a small miss given the rest they did, or...

Only if the 5.7 came with a confirmed fix for its ticking, I'm not going to pay the up charge for the same issues as the 3.6. I don't have any complaints with performance with the 3.6 and the 4.10 ratio. Realistically the next V8 I buy is going to be in my LJ if I don't reman the 4.0 or in a 7.3...

Opting for the OEM headliners, they cover the whole back section of the topper along with the typical upper coverage and drastically reduce cabin noise. My JT is no worse than my Taco was, better for road noise. Aftermarket, probably my dead pedal for interior. I'm often coming back from some...

The Baja Boss' are a little unusual and the MTs tend to be lighter than the ATs, even the 305/70R18 ATs are showing 6lbs heavier/tire than the 35X12.50R17 MTs, and that's not accounting for a bigger 18 rim which may add even more weight. Most brands their MT is much heavier than their ATs...

I wish our Ford dealer was like that. Their service department is more of a "take lots of video/picture evidence before dropping it off to prove they're the ones that damaged your vehicle" type of place. I wish that was only one instance too. I want to add a F-250/350 to our collection but...

Personally, I have the trail rails, next time I would just rivnut L-track into my bed. The trail rails are okay, but l-track you can add/remove mounts anywhere along the length without sliding in mounts from a specific end. My topper clamps onto the bed rail and blocks parts of the rail and me...

Ugh, this is exactly how I feel. Was just thinking of trading my '22 (1 cam fix @33K) in for a '25, the TSB and discounts had given me confidence.

I always thought of this as having "mechanical sympathy" for my tools. Just because it can go to a limit, doesn't mean I should take it up to the edge all the time. Seen plenty of nice HDs go blowing past people in our passes in the Rockies only to see the truck on the side later with the hood up.

Plan some trips to different off-road terrain, then you'll just be bored with Ohio :) Seriously, just getting on totally different trails for me in my JT or on my mountain bike/skis seriously rejuvenates my interest. I even get bored with my local terrain in Montana, but annual trips to the PNW...
