I dig that. The back corners don't need all those lines anyway, or maybe just a continuation of the top lines that aren't cut off by the higher back. I was thinking about doing the orange "ISLANDER" hood side decals with the Tiki but without the coordinates, and the sun image more toward the...
I just stumbled onto this old picture and wow. I think something like those decals would look killer on my Gator. I've got white wagon spoke wheels, which I think would compliment it like rum compliments Coke. That's really got me thinking.
I definitely air down on the soft NC beach sand, and I simply won't get on the sand without doing it. I've seen some impressive looking trucks with big tires sitting on their frames in that sand because they didn't air down. I think it's just as important as shifting into 4wd.
As for snow...
I got the TSB for mine and it worked wonders. It had been struggling to keep the cabin cool when the weather was hot, even when I pushed the thermostat down to 10 degrees or more below what I would normally set it. Then to add insult to injury, every few days or so there would be a random...
Yes they do have them in black, and no - they're Quadratec wheels made to fit on Jeeps, even so that I was able to use my stock center caps in them. Those body colored center caps are actually the silver ones that came on my Sport S wheels. I bought a Gator touch-up spray can from the...
I have the cloth seats and love them. After having leather in my past several cars and SUV's I was sick of it. It's cold in winter and hot in summer, and if you keep it a long time then it starts cracking and looking horrible. Cloth feels better to me, doesn't get hot or cold so no need for...
I use a local, well-maintained automatic wash that (gasp!) uses brushes. I pay a monthly fee for the maximum amount of wash, wax, ceramic coating whatever that is, tire shine, blow dry, and vacuum, and I get to go through whenever I like. Sometimes it gets washed several times a week depending...
I think it's interesting how the poll results (as of this post) are not the usual bell curve. It's a bit polarized.
I chose the middle. I'm not crazy about it but I wouldn't be embarrassed to be seen driving it either.
Sometimes I just go for a Jeep ride with the Sunrider flipped back - no excuses, just do it. My wife likes to go with me when possible because she loves it too. I might take care of some needed errands while I'm gone if I can justify interrupting my Jeep time with them.
I never check my gas mileage anymore. If I’m not towing anything then my truck’s computer says I’m getting around 20 mpg more or less - depending on the highway to city ratio. I just figure it is what it is. A handful of mpg difference won’t affect my annual cost of ownership all things...
This proves what I've been saying from the start. These trucks come out of the box ready to tackle more than I'm ever going to put mine through.
This reminds me of my sister and brother in law who tow their Sport Wrangler behind their RV. They stopped for a rock crawling thing he wanted to...
My most recent line of vehicles were kinda boring compared to the JT. They included three Infiniti sedans, a Ford E-350 van, a Pathfinder (not in that order) and a Buick Enclave that I finally traded on the Jeep.
Maybe some people's halogens are defective? Seriously I've thought several times about switching to LED after reading here how horrible halogen is, but then I get in my Jeep at night and realize it's just fine.
I got exactly what I wanted when I started looking at JT's, and that was a Sport S in Gator with a tow package that would pull my trailers without exceding its limits. I can say with a straight face that I would make exactly the same decision all over again, and I've owned it for well over a...
