Also, an oil with a high zinc content reduces wear. I use it in my solid lifter corvettes...

Long ago I was a master mechanic and I also taught a certified mechanic apprentice program. That said, my major concern would be cold start where most engine wear occurs. This is well documented; no oil equals wear until the oil pressure builds. So, personally, I would think that the lighter...

Super, that should work very well. Also, a longer antenna should work much better.

It should not matter where you power your radio from as far as SWR is concerned. If you measure your SWR higher and lower in frequency you can determine if your antenna is too long or short. If a friend has a antenna analyzer that you could borrow, you can find out where your antenna is...

The Arana struts work great and have a quick release on one side of each strut. I see no fitment issues and the hood is not raised in the front. I have an aluminum hood and it works as expected with the light hood. Thanks for the good deal -- $40.00. Wow....

It is hard to do an apples to apples comparison between the 2024's with the 20% factory discount and additional dealer discounts since the price came down on the 2025's and they do not charge extra for the automatic in 2025. That said, the lowest prices on 2024 Rubicons and Mojaves I saw on...

I also bought in Oregon and had mine weighed in Placerville. Just a heads-up, if you take your hardtop off and your spare tire out you should be under 5000 pounds which should save you something like $75.00 a year...

Your vehicle would have to relearn, re-poll all the systems and processes on OBD2 every time you start your car. Might result in weird shift points, bad gas mileage and many other weird default settings. Some of the polling/refresh rates take 50 or more miles with EGR being about the most...

Also, look at the ratings on your winch about usage/cool down. It is likely something like 45 seconds on and 5 to 10 minutes cool down. I don't think that the Warn solenoid or manual switch will be the weak link if it is of proper rating and not cheap junk (like I bought the first time).....

I bough an inexpensive 500 amp solenoid on Amazon similar to the Warn and it quickly got too hot to touch when engaged. I replaced it with a Warn solenoid which stays cool to the touch and works flawlessly. The Warn solenoid has been in use for years and is well proven. Since I have the aux...

Since I bought out of state, the dealer had to fill out paperwork and send it to my DMV. The only fee I paid the dealer was $175.00 and they probably earned it.

If the dealers are on a tight leash, I wonder what is going to happen with the tariffs? The Gladiator seems to be about 70% USA. So, a 45K Gladiator would have a $3,375 price increase with a 25% tariff on 30% of the vehicle.

The SF Bay area has cities with sales tax well over 9% (State plus local taxes are combined) and in California all trucks are registered as commercial vehicles at a much higher rate. So, it really isn't a fair comparison. Also, the registration and sales tax have nothing to do with the window...

Does that mean that you got a 66K JT Rubicon for about 38K prior to tax and license? That is a massive 42% discount before tax and license. Congratulations, that is the best deal I have heard of on a 2024.

The X package was 10K in 2024 and it is 10K in 2025. Odd that SelecTrac is not listed on the 2025 window sticker like it was in 2024. I'm sure someone will come along and clear-up the mystery.

I just looked at 3 2025 Mojave window stickers and confirmed that the X package is 10K and SelecTrac is not listed on the window sticker as part of the package like it was in 2024.

Looking at a 2025 window sticker on a Mojave X, the X package is a 10K option.

The reality is a huge amount of stuff we use day to day is made in China and functions totally fine. No one cared until they were told to care. I don't do business with Temu but I do business with Aliexpress and I think that you will find that many of the big USA 4x4 accessory vendors sell the...

I bought my 2024 Rubicon over a month ago and there were over 400 Rubicons available. When I entered my preferences into the cars.com search engine (color choice, heated seats, front camera and premium stereo) I was at about 50 vehicles. At that point I contacted dealers starting with the...

I got burned on Temu. The item was a knock-off of a well known Chinese brand. Like a knock-off of a knock-off and was obviously of much lesser quality. However, I have had great experience with Aliexpress. And, indeed, many of the products are the same for about 1/3rd the cost. I always...
