Did a few very cheap and simple mods: >Bug/Stone shield for the front of the hood. Purchased after getting my first stone chip in the windshield. Not really sure how well it works as it's very small, but I have not had another rock to windshield and I like the look. >Drop in K&N filter...

One thing to keep in mind, on rare occasions, I have had rocks come in through the open Freedom panels, into the rear passenger area. In a rental Jeep, while on vacation, we actually had a rock come in and hit my then 8 yr old in the head. Didn't break the skin but it did hurt and was pretty...

I owned a full size Bronco (1996) up until a year ago and was very interested when I first heard they may be bringing it back. Problem is they've been teasing it since 2005! I bought my Gladiator fairly early, back in July of 19. Although I needed the bed of the Gladiator, I might have sucked...

This is key. The Sport is the smaller, cheaper, model based on the Escape. This is what they were calling the "baby bronco" in the pre-production hype. Obviously, we're fairly Jeep biased here and that's as it should be, but don't get it twisted. Whenever the actual Bronco is finally...

Yup, those were late 70's, but I remember people dressing like that into the early 80s in our area. I was in SC though, so we might have been a bit behind!

I think we had that same disc for PS2. Wish I could find a similar one for PS3. The only drawback to the C64 mini I've noticed so far is that the games look a bit more pixelated that the originals once they're blown up on a 46", modern Hi Def TV. Still fun though. Summer and Winter games are...

No drafts inside on mine. You might check that the hard top is fully seated and secured at each point if you haven't already.

Picked up one of these a while back (hope the link works here): https://www.amazon.com/C64-Mini-not-machine-specific/dp/B07GMV1X1K Pretty cool for the price. It is mostly games that were big in the UK in the 80's, but it has a few titles us Yanks will remember too. Best of all, it's possible...

Sorry for the long post but damn this thread is right on time. With the current state of the world, it always feels great to go down the nostalgia escape hatch. Born in 72, my wife in 71 (and I never let her forget who's oldest :). We have different musical tastes, but both agree on 80's. I...

I take my Overland Off-road all the time and mine is completely stock down to the all season tires. It probably has more capability than you'd care to use.

Essentially this is a question of whether the JT is a Jeep first or a Truck first. IMO, it's much closer to a fully fledged Jeep than a fully fledged truck, and that's the way I wanted it. As a Jeep, the JT has all of the capability of a wrangler with the exception of the diminished break over...

It helps to remember the order in which they were released as well. At Launch only the Rubicon/LE, Overland, and Sport/S were available. As they've been in production longer, you may be likely to see more of these models before popularity even comes into play. I think the High Altitude...

Welcome! I'm originally from the Greenville area. Lived in Mauldin growing up, but have been in the Atlanta area for the last 20 years.

I'm sure you're aware of this, but it's common for live axle vehicles to feel like they may "jump" a little when hitting bumps and potholes, particularly when in even a slight turn. Your previous wrangler would've had live axles as well of course, but the JT might feel a bit different due to...

When I bought mine, very few of the gladiators they had on the lot had the factory bed liner installed. I negotiated mine as part of the sale and the dealer used a Line-X shop down the street. About 2 weeks after taking the Jeep home, I had the bed liner installed. Was a bit worried as it was...

I have driven the stock HT duelers in snow (Overland model), but it was "southern snow" so I'm sure you'll bear that in consideration. Drove from Atlanta to Nashville last winter and it snowed most of the way there. Really the roads were fine except for a few dodgy areas. The worst was going...

I did my first oil change at only about 2500 miles. I realize the manufacturer doesn't call for the first change early but I do that with all my vehicles. The idea is that you'll get more metal shavings and debris in the oil during the early miles and it's good to get that stuff out of there...

I've done a few trips greater than 3 hrs, but nothing more than 5hrs. It's not bad at all, but there are definitely more comfy, and spacious vehicles for the long haul. On a recent camping trip, I missed my old F150 space wise. with 3 people, two dogs, and associated gear; we were loaded to...

Apart from the OP, I may be the closes to stock I've seen in this thread. Only changes have been a bug deflector, K&N air filter, and tonneau cover to my Overland. Just passed a year of ownership and have been wanting to change out the tires, mostly just for cosmetic reasons. Even the stock...
