@Rusty PW BMW from the e46 M3 forward can download your ecu to make sure you’re letting the M car break in properly before you flog the hell out of them. In theory if you do too many Gs, high revs, etc they’ll punch your warranty card. They don’t want someone buying an M4 CS and taking it...

Luxury? You must have leather seats.

Makes me wonder if this is why my insurance jumped $50 this month with zero changes. I have the State Farm app's monitoring off and never "agree" on the startup screen but... Please let us all know if you lose any additional functionality. I can live without remote start/unlock from the phone...

@silverbillet that there is a controversial one here. Lots of opinions. Some say OEM. Some say Castrol, Mobil One, Amsoil or an imported specialty oil like LiquiMoly. And smart asses will tell you extra virgin olive oil with a little grape seed oil added to raise the smoke point.

It is but not in the Trailhunter or TRD Pro trims- they're exclusively hybrids, and seems like the local Toyota stores were only stocking base models and hybrids at the time. Besides that, I had to see if the weird vibration i got on the 4R and LC was on it too. It was. And i've sat on bus...

I hear you but the grass isn't greener. I was a Toyota guy for years. Before i bought the Jeep I test drove back to back the Land Cruiser, 4Runner and Tacoma TRD Off Road. They all had the same hybrid drivetrain and worse: The same annoying vibration from the drivetrain through the steering...

Ditto what @MyMojave said. There's a ton of info here and on the JLU forums about the Pentastar and its ups and downs. They've made 2M+ of them and most issues are at this point very well known and fixes exist. The best thing you can do for your motor is to properly maintain it and don't...

i spent too much money on Memorial Day sales.

You too Mark and thanks for a great product. BTW, any plans on making a Sunrider unit with the marine grade material on both sides?

I think that's the major difference: trail rig vs daily driver. Assuming they can deliver on two different platforms on the same frame, an IFS Sport or Sahara Wrangler would sell like hotcakes to the Jeep Parade people who never go off road with their color contrasting doodads, Bezosmart...

The 700 is smaller and yep, not really a looker. The Rampage is the larger unibody trucklet and it very closely resembles its bigger brothers.

I'm in this picture and I'm okay with it. Peasants.

Saw a while back that clay bucks were too labor and time intensive and that they were going the way of the dodo in most studios. 3D printing them makes prototyping incredibly fast, far more than clay without the labor. Something else-- In that shot of future Jeeps the Wagoneer S is notably absent.

Although my bank account (and my accountant) are happy to hear this, I certainly am not. You, sir, are a thief of fun!

Well shit. Guess I'll be trading the money pit. If the JT 392 is as much fun as the Moab Wrangler 392 I drove earlier this year... Maximum hoonage. But also-this might just make AMW swaps doable for the CARB folks?

This whole thread has me thinking: if you live in another state and swap your JT, what happens if you move to California? Do they force you to sell it because of CARB?

Certainly- the Dakota and Rampage fill gaping holes in the lineup. Cross utilizing either/both makes sense from both economic and engineering angles. I really think the Rampage will sell well here and take a chunk out of the Maverick sales as it should. I saw one in Costa Rica in February and it...

Bingo. Even though it's the coupling of two legendarily unreliable marques with legendary off road ability, it makes a lot of sense on the balance sheet. Running the risk of this turning into a political pissing match but the entire reason why so much manufacturing was offshored in the first...

Interesting because my experience with the JTR was substantially stiffer suspension rather than floating like the JTM. Definitely a lot more wander in the JTR. After the 1200 miles to fly and buy started wandering big time from the beginnings of Death Wobble but I immediately corrected with some...

Just ordered mine, thanks! Also: I did both the Sunrider and full hard top kit with Sound Assassins. Rather than the 10% off it gave me a 50% add on bundle savings on the Sunrider kit. Total was $618.40, saved me another $40 by combining.
