  1. Cold Air Intakes are a waste

    That's what I want to know: How to sort through the description of the sound an aftermarket muffler gives. I don't want a loud sound, just - what? a little throat? I loved the sound my '71 MB 280SL made. I always assumed it had straight-through exhaust, what we used to call "glas-packs". It was...
  2. Any Full-Size Converts?

    Duck boat ?? That's a floating swamp !!
  3. I wish this would just go away...

    Yes. Mine did not add anything.
  4. What Jeep stuff did y’all get for Christmas?

    A Jeep T-shirt, but it has not arrived yet.
  5. Swapped a 6.4L V8 Hemi into my Gladiator Rubicon "SRT" (Videos & Pics)

    There was speculation the the Gladiator would have to be elongated to provide a crumple zone to pass crash tests, in order to put the 6.4L in. Ohio5pt7 was wondering why that was not necessary for the Wrangler 392.
  6. Haven't given up hope. Stuck on trim level

    I bought mine as a company vehicle, so my financing options were limited. No incentives for companies. I wanted a 42-month loan, but they would have charged me 8.4%. So I had to go with 60-month, and got 6.4%. But I pay extra each month so it will be paid for by 42 months.
  7. Is the factory LED light upgrade worth it?

    I have found that the halogens are adequate on low beam, but rather inadequate on high beam. So I added supplemental lights which I am still working on aiming correctly. And yes, I know they are not rated for on-road use.
  8. Safety Packages?

    Maybe for some. Not for me. They make driving safer and less stressful for me. But anyway, they are options on the JT, so one is free to include them or not.
  9. Safety Packages?

    Yes. And so many SUVs with dark-tinted glass, so you cannot possibly see to back out.
  10. Manual Transmission Club

    Opinions vary widely about the JT 6-speed. Here is mine. The 6-speed: it is not close-ratio, it is to my mind a typical 4-speed, designed with the 4 ratios appropriately spaced for typical everyday driving, and two overdrives for better fuel economy and less engine wear at highway speeds...
  11. Safety Packages?

    I feel for you. Down here, we have a saying, when you see an a**hole driver, you expect to see a NJ tag. Kidding, but only partially.
  12. Safety Packages?

    This! ^ I don't care how good a driver I think I am, these features just add a layer of safety that I appreciate. Not to replace situational awareness, but to supplement it. The ACC indeed makes interstate driving a lot less tiresome, but I use it on arterials around here as well. I also find...
  13. 24+ mpg after 6 weeks on the road

    Au contraire! Just the morning, driving to work 50 MPH, in 5th gear (manual), on cruise, looking down at my instrument cluster I see 35 MPG "current". And, yes, I have an Overland with the stock highway tires, which I am quite aware is not the cup of tea for the majority of members on here. Even...
  14. Is the factory LED light upgrade worth it?

    It's the same principle. though.
  15. Wagon Wheels

    I apologize for the crudeness of the model.
  16. How much snow should be on ground before using 4x4

    Just an amusing anecdote: In 1976, my grandmother gave up driving and gave me her 1956 Chevy 210. Still had original tires from when she bought the car brand new 20 years prior. (The tires had been re-capped a couple times. For you youngsters, re-capping was common in those days, and not just...
  17. Going MY2020 for Gobi

    I think it was early 2020.
  18. 24+ mpg after 6 weeks on the road

    Well, I have a manual and exceptionally good fuel economy, no issues with anything, so a flash for me will be a hard sell.
