If a JT shows up later this year priced like this Willys 392, relatively speaking of course, I’ll trade my ’25 Rubicon lickity split.

Well, $70K for a 6.4 hemi is better than this year’s $82K on the Moab, and $93k plus, for last year’s Rubicon 392.

They missed the drop zone by 2.5 hours. Who do they think they are?

Shocking, I know. I spent three years looking for it, too. Kept it nine months and sold.

This is wise counsel for my impulsive self. I don’t tow. I do household stuff with the JT. Haul firewood a few times a year. Move my grown kid’s stuff from point A to point B periodically.

In full disclosure, I’m only in a Gladiator because I traded out of an F150 Super Crew FX4 with the 5.0 Coyote, and wanted a smaller truck, but not with a 4 cylinder turbo. Jeep and Nissan are the only choices that I know of, and I was really surprised how roomy the Glad is (6’3, 230 lbs). I...

I figured as much. I’m at that station in life where I can get away with blowing the cash, even if it’s stupid, but I just want to figure out exactly HOW stupid.

I talked to Rubitrux today, and I might be willing to take one for the team and do a hemi swap in my 2025 JT, just to insure that Stellantis announces production of a 392 JT for all you folks, within 60 days of me taking delivery. That’s how my luck goes. But that said, just how much factory...

It’s the new lingo. A flannel shirt maker named Dixxon started doing this a couple of years ago. Real popular with Harley riders. Dixxon would “drop" a new style, limited edition, pricey, and everyone would clamber for it, and end up with a whole closet full of Dixxon shirts. It drives a lot...

I also notice the “cargo air drop pic” is only on the Wrangler page.

Silly me. They are doing this the 12th day of every month for a year. I thought this was something mo bigger.

It’s on the home page today, 2-11-26. The teaser, that is. https://www.jeep.com/

I wasn’t planning to get the steps for the back seat but I just bought a booster seat last week for my five year old granddaughter, for the rare occasion she rides in the Jeep instead of my wife’s Outback, since it’s such a pain swapping wife’s carseat into the Jeep. That said, I have to lean...

I think my plan is to roll with it as is till my next routine service. It works, and I don’t hear it unless I’m in a drive-thru. If they elect to replace it then I’ll make the extra trip back since they don’t stock the part.

I’ve identified where the buzz is coming from when applying the brakes. It’s the brake booster vacuum pump located directly beneath the top mounted alternator. Part # 04581991AB. Now that I have ID’ed what’s causing the buzzing, a brief web search tells me that this is not an uncommon issue...

I’m running just the fronts too. When you are 20 yards away or farther they blend right into the truck and you don’t notice them because despite the pic above, they don’t appear to hang any lower than everything else under the truck.

No Tazer, no warning lights, and no codes when I plugged in the OBDII scanner. The Jeep is bone stock.

So, the buzz *appears* to be coming from under the alternator (edit). There several connections at that module one of which appears to be a vacuum line that runs from the module on top of the oil filter, over to the brake master cylinder. Beyond that, I am way above my pay grade. At least I...

I just did something I should have done before. I can crank the vehicle in the driveway, roll down the window, lean my head out, and depress the brake while still in park, and reproduce the buzz. Although if I release and depress the brake again it might not do it. But if I wait a few seconds...
