So what was this thread about anyway?

Sours are what we used to call "skunky beer". It was beer that had gone bad and we threw it out. Ha! Microbreweries have done a fine job marketing themselves as the hip and cool, and domestics like PBR, Coors, or Miller as the unhip and uncool. I used to be one of those who showed up at...

I’ve got my personal favorite, gator, so there’s not really another color that would tempt me. Nacho is a close second though. I would have been happy enough with that color. Whenever I’m ready to trade, if nacho is available then I might go for it. That’s probably 5 to 7 years from now...

I'm bumping this old thread back to life because now that the cooler mornings are back, so is that sound. It's so weird! It went away completely during the warm months so I kinda forgot about it. Maybe there's some new info out there about this? I have sort of come to a point of letting it...

Same here. I’ve taken mine through one at least once a week for the past year and the paint and top still look like new. I use a newish car wash with well maintained equipment.

I can believe it! When I forgot that time on Fort Fisher, I made it a long way and even had to go past a stuck truck being pulled out. I never got stuck at all, and only realized it when my tires dug into the sand a bit while I was making a hard turn. I respect that sand too much to test...

What a beautiful long stretch of beach that is! - and you can cut across to the other side of the dunes in a couple of places where the tidal creeks flow through and connect to the Cape Fear. I've been thinking about carrying our kayaks out there and exploring them one day. The only thing...

You mentioned a generator. A generator on the back will actually take off some tongue weight, but make sure to use care in mounting a 100 lb generator to the bumper. Bumper braces mounted to the frame would be mandatory. There are some excellent products out there for mounting a generator to...

Jeep gives nothing but headaches? No. Sorry but that's not true.

I'm 6'3" and I don't have that problem, or at least I've never noticed it. That seat goes back a long way and gives plenty of leg room to stretch out.

Yes, and I just picked mine up from getting the new box and I'm happy. It wasn't to the point of dangerous, but I did have to correct direction on the interstate more than I would like. Towing was worse. It used to be like a 70's buick but now it's more like a modern truck should be. Not...

Got it. Our trailer towing weights, tire sizes, and truck payloads are similar, though I have a travel trailer sized frontal area - but that doesn't affect tires. I've been doing 36 lbs but was wondering if I should give it a little bit more. It tows fine at 36 but I think I'll try 38 next...

ShadowsPapa, do you remember what PSI you aired up the tires to for that trip?

Hey y'all - I just stumbled onto this tidbit of info from the protection plan section of the Mopar website. To paraphrase, it says that if your vehicle is either repossessed or "rendered a total loss" and you financed it with your new Jeep at the point of purchase, then you don't get the...

I’m not sure I should say publicly, but if you’re halfway thinking about it then I would suggest reaching out to him for a quote before making your decision.

Thanks for this post. I've kicked around the idea of a warranty for the past half year and have gotten a couple of quotes, but never acted on them. I sent Tom an email today and he called me this evening. I now have a 7 year unlimited miles Mopar warranty, and the price was exactly what I was...

Thanks, I’m aware of that thread.

My steering box is supposed to be replaced as soon as the parts arrive, which I'm told should be any day now. After reading this I hope I'm not jumping from the frying pan into the fire.

This needs to be shouted from the rooftops. I've seen numerous trucks (not just Jeeps) loaded with gear, and with so much extra steel mounted to them that they're probably close to their payload limits before even adding tongue weight to the equation. I often see these trucks with 6,000+ lb...

That 24-007-21 TSB does the trick! I had been getting heat blasts as well as a hot cabin on warm days regardless of the temp setting. I took it in yesterday and the dealership performed the TSB. 45 minutes after arriving, I drove it off their lot with the AC performing perfectly. The...
