I drove through a very lightly flooded street yesterday and could see the muddy water kicking up from the wheel to the bumper and in front of the grille and over the hood. Not the first time I've seen it, and I get the dirty bumper like that driving on wet gravel/dirt roads and parking lots...

I hand calc and record in a book where I keep notes on everything I do, I tend to run a little lower than indicated (stock rubi manual). Sometimes it's dead nuts on, sometimes it's 1mpg high, most often it's between the two. Not sure I've ever seen it lower than actual. I typically fill at...

Next time I have my doors off I'll take pictures of what I did, they work great for me and install very quickly without tools. I keep them under the rear seat with the tool kit that came with the truck.

I've run Fumoto in the past and live it very much. Free oil changes on the JT means I don't care so much about ease of draining it.

My first mazdaspeed3 was similar. I got it used and only had it for about 4 years but touched everything on the car. 350/375 at the wheels on a GT3071. It would scoot once you got it rolling, or would spin tires in 4th on anything other than a perfectly dry, hot road. Ridiculous car. I've...

Easy one for me I traded it when I was single, made a lot less money than I do now, and started driving 80-100 miles a day. I damn near couldn't afford to keep gas in it (an every-other day habit of ~15 gallons). I still have the replacement and the Gladiator is better in almost every way...

If you don't pull the red clip up on the front door connectors you'll break the connector. Once you do just press the little center clip holding the white lever to release it and swing the lever out of the way, very easy to do without any tools. As for mirrors, my cheap solution was to buy a...

Makita.

Thanks for the ad

Coming up on 12k miles with no issues either clutch or transmission. I may be the only person in the world to like the clutch because it engages at the same point as my other car and I'm used to a low and grabby engagement

I like my black flares on GCM

Technically yes, legally no. Those numbers are provided by the manufacturer as certified values which are tied to the VIN. Technically you can add stiffer springs and make it haul more load but if you go on the scales and are over the GVWR you get a ticket anyway.

I did a fun exercise this morning and spec'd out a new max tow as close as I could to my current Rubicon to see what the price difference would be, and wouldn't you know it....there wasn't any. I bought a rubicon because I wanted the stock 4.10s and a manual transmission, and that was the only...

The rebates are all on your own taxes, no one else's. If you don't pay enough in taxes to cover the total you get as much as you put in back for that year and no more. The only person he has to thank is himself for paying enough in taxes to get $10k back

I have twice rented trailers with my JT with a soft top. Never a question asked. One a 5x9 utility, the other a motorcycle trailer to tow a tool box home

If that's happening in the dark you can turn the dash brightness down at night

3500 is no problem to drive at for a while, these engines are happy to rev. Hell I used to have to do that in my TJ and the 4.0 is not as happy in that range but never gave me a problem. 38s on 3.73s is a complete dog and the extra weight isn't helping you either

When I bought my TJ I had a lift and 33s on it within 2 months and loved it. But with the JT it's not necessary for my use. I'll consider 35s when I need tires, and I do want to put different wheels on at some point, but my use is mostly on-road and the bigger selling points to me were the...

Please tell me you have a soft top

Unless it's a very small trailer I think 2" would work fine. I have flipped a hitch in the past to get a rise when the drop put the trailer at an angle but not necessary for most. No brakes on the uhaul trailers that I used. The car trailers have surge brakes but those are not electrically...
