@Figmo Now you've got me (and likely others) curious. Would you mind sharing a few details if it isn't an imposition?

Sigh. Went to the DC auto show today. Granted, auto shows are not much anymore and I think there were more brands not there than were. Jeep had no display. Just a sign. There was at least one Stellantis sign too. No turntables spinning the brand new Wagoneer S? No Rubicon perched on a hill...

NGL the Ram RHO is pretty badass but an $88K+ pickup is not even remotely in my future. On the subject of straight-6's, It is pretty damned amazing what can be done with a naturally aspirated one. And if you force some air down its throat, hang on for the ride. You can get V8 or better...

...Ol Roscoe ain't never gonna catch them Duke Boys.

Advantage of having a turbo from the factory- the tunes are a LOT easier and provide big results. If the Hurricane ever makes it to the JT...

Fairly certain it has to have a permanently installed head and galley to qualify though I'm not a CPA so YMMV.

Certainly, but nowhere in the linked article did it mention forged vs cast aluminum. Just that there's aluminum on Rubicons and cast iron on Mojave. I ran the question through Grok AI before I posted it. MT and a couple others were sourced for the answer and all had similar if not nearly...

I thought you meant styling, not size. As if they were to completely go away from the commonality with the Wrangler. Anyway, I think if they did a mid-size that pulls that DNA in and didn't look like a Wrangler would be pretty cool. I think sometimes we forget that Jeep made a lot of vehicles...

Now you're talking. But I betcha it'd get an IFS. 😆

Probably close but if you look at the forums it's a substantially higher number. Nothing wrong with it but forums skew it. If they did that they may as well cease production entirely. I still think both the SFA and IFS could exist side by side on different trims. It would be pretty cool...

I get what you're saying and not saying I disagree with you but enthusiasts who know the difference between SFA and IFS let alone wheel them hard enough to prove the differences are a very small minority of Jeep owners. Jeeps have become outdoor lifestyle vehicles for the masses and that's how...

I have a friend in the fuel distro biz. I'll have to touch base with her on this. I'm very curious.

That announcement is rather interesting. Also of note: "significantly reduced levels of aromatic compounds..." Does that mean your diesel truck won't smell like French fries using HVO? That was one of best side effects!! I like where you're headed with the historic nameplate but the Comanche...

Don't get me wrong, the diesel was a great option. Its just never been able to take hold in the USDM for some reson. Maybe the Olds V8 really really was to blame. ROW small diesels are quite literally everywhere. VW Dieselgate definitely soured the USDM on them. (even though VW was exploiting...

That's more or less where i was headed with it. (in response to above) #1 STLA is missing the boat on this end, bigly. They could do something silly like slam the RHO's Hurricane in and turn it up to 11 to make the ultimate whoop machine. #2 Once again, a Hurricane would only help. I'd love...

IYKYK. (I don't. :P )

Yep. Totally. Believe it or not, it's very common to have strings attached. The Feds will provide money in a disaster provided you do what they want. I was involved with a low level (comparatively) federal disaster declaration years ago, twice. It wasn't easy to get it in the first place and...

Thanks bud. Much appreciated. To your second point: Usually we do. A common cause/enemy is a great way to put aside petty political differences and work together. BTW: I know someone who said that of people in a red state after some natural disaster a couple years ago deserved it because of...

Hey man, good on you. And I get what you're saying. I don't like it when anyone says that regardless of the direction it's coming from, either. It's a cheap shot. What I do have a problem with is the people that give up, tuck tail and run to another country who are of means to do so as if it's...
