That in mind, I think you would like it there. But I tell you, it still gets hot in what I call the southern mountains (Asheville). 90 minutes north east, around Boone and Blowing Rock it is always 10 degrees cooler, higher elevation, but you’ll freeze your butt off in winter.

Asheville is okay. Most of it anyway. High ground weathered it. But you need to be a hippie to be happy in Asheville. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. I’m taking the Jeep to ride some riverside forest roads a couple of hours north/northeast of Asheville on Sunday. Wilson Creek. The...

I just want a CJ5 with a 304 and side pipes. I remember them when they were new. *sigh*

True. Once you cross the Eastern divide between Old Fort and Black Mountain in the south, or at Deep Gap in the higher country. I went to school outside of Black Mountain and headed to Blowing Rock Sunday. But all my family is in the Piedmont. Hot as hades in summer. But you knew that.

Well, lemme tell you. I’ve been in the two Carolinas for 69 years, and if the summer heat won’t kill you, the humidity will.

I live in NC, and traffic and population has exploded exponentially due to the continued migration from the north to the south. Must be something down here folks like.

2024 JT Sport S 8000 miles 19mpg Traded for a 2025 JT Rubicon 3.6 gasser - after 1000 miles 16.5

Fire sales? the prices are stupid.

I’ve bought two new ones in 11 months. I’m helping! 😀

I had spacer lifts on the Macpherson struts on a German made ’76 Mercury Capri when it was maybe two years old, due to sagging springs. It was not a satisfactory fix. Ergo, and henceforth, I will not do that to my Jeep.

I’m trying to buy a steel OE Rubicon bumper and a Zeon 12s off Marketplace as we speak. I was wondering about the sag myself, so I walked out to the driveway and parked my large caboose (230lbs) on the front bumper. I can’t say it sagged more than that so I decided I wasn’t going to worry about it.

When I pressed the F&I guy on my second new Glad purchase in a year on why they prefer to sell after-market warranties he told me an interesting story. The short version being, the way Rick Hendrick bought car dealerships (95) was from the profits generated from service contract sales.

My oldish a$$ has ridden 50K miles in the past four years on three new HD touring bikes, so I can say it’s not *quite* the same as having your knees in the breeze... but... That said, I’ll probably sell the last one sometime next year after I turn seventy, and the Glad will be the closest thing...

Took my latest new Glad to Uwharrie (Badin Lake OHV trails) and rode some trails Wednesday. It’s been bone dry here for 10 days or so and blistering hot so the dust clouds looked like chem-trails in the sky. The Jeep was covered on the back half, but hey, it’s just dust, it will hose right off...

I’d love to hear about any known quantities here, maybe forum members who are dealers selling Mopar warranties. I’d be interested. On the Ford truck that I traded for my last Gladiator a year ago, the extended powertrain warranty that came with the truck only covered mechanical failures. There’s...

33% sale going on right now. Just ordered the bed liner.

You’re under warranty if it’s a Wave oil change. If, heaven forbid, you did it wrong and had engine issues....... it becomes a legal quagmire of liability, responsibility, who’s on first, sort of scenario. If it’s important to you, filters and oil aren’t expensive. I do all my own services on...

Following. I like the OE steel bumper, but just not going to spend $1600 on it. …Yet

I had a 2024, and now a 2025, both with the V6 and both had/have the occasional burp as I accelerate in second (maybe third). One, and only one, burp per episode, and not always. File that under, “It’s a Jeep thing”.

I traded the Jeep that I put Weathertechs on last month, and just put a front set on the one I traded for.
