At this rate you won’t be able to buy a new Jeep for under $30k in 5 to 10 years

Random mostly meaningless thoughts: Full disclosure: I’m a shoe dude. Don’t be that guy who wears the shirt of the band to the concert. Damn you Merrell for no Firecracker Red. Damn you to shoe hell. They make a GTX version of the Moab, but the Jeep Rubicon Edition is not GoreTex. WTF? The...

The factory couldn’t do liners for a period when I got mine my dealer uses a local business that does Xtreme liners. It’s a franchise. It was around $500. I’ve been happy with mine. A lot of Southeast Toyota region dealers use Xtreme. Those Toyota customers don’t seem to be complaining.

I end up purging them passively. Let me explain. CO2 is a larger molecule than N2. In theory it should bleed out of the tire less readily. However CO2 is more reactive and actually soluble in butyl rubber. Tires have inner liners to reduce their permeability. Despite that, CO2 will still bleed...

Yes and no. The original sin isn’t the aux battery. It’s cheap oem batteries generally. But I didn’t get much of a warning. I started seeing less ESS availability within a month of buying the truck and within a month of having new batteries installed under warranty, but it’s a subtle, gradual...

Classic case of OD’ing (Over Ducking)

I’m selling a brand new Bestop Sunrider for Hardtop in Premium Twill (black cloth). This is new in an unopened box. $800. I’m in Southeastern Virginia Dog not included

People who dress up their pets are sad or sick or both….I can’t imagine dressing up my poor baby cloned triceratops “dinomutt” in some silly costume.

All 26 of my dashboard ducks have unique personalities. That’s why they all have names. They listen to me. They’re all such respectful listeners! Sometimes I think they’re the only ones that care. Catherine gave me a duck. That’s why I thought she was one of the good ones. But now Catherine...

Here are my mount locations. Keep in mind Lux lights have a nice diffuse pattern. They’re not spot lights but you don’t want spot lights for this. I find that these nicely light up the whole underside of the truck and around the side to few feet. They serve triple duty as rock lights...

Never heard of this company and both they and the retailers that sell their stuff are out of stock for what that’s worth, but these are plastic. I may buy a set and see if I can retrofit them to fit my AAL Dzus mounts...

+1 Lux lights. You need light in front and behind the contact patches of the tires, so you can see yourself roll over and roll off of stuff. The rest of the lights are under the frame and rear end (bumper) so you can check clearances as you roll over stuff and so you can generally see under the...

Mostly what @RodRecket said. Most people get them because they look cool. I primarily got the American Adventure Labs versions because they’re designed to be removed easily without plastic Christmas tree plugs that break and to future proof for 40s. I had pulled back my stock liners enough that...

I chose not to add a breather because they tend to leak but they exist. I haven’t actually seen one on one of these heaters fuel tanks or in the kits. I leave the outer RotoPax cap a little loose on the standpipe when in use to allow a little air venting to prevent a vacuum.

No. But Bestop confirmed several of their test tops have this same issue. It’s supposedly related to a broken rivet or some other part in the windshield header. They past my video on to their engineers and sent me a new top.

Personally, I would never own a Gladiator

I texted with my service writer Friday. I had ordered the pump a few weeks ago. She checked and said there’s no eta because of the strike. I was first in line at this dealership.

Like I said. I actually know people who’ve had their accounts restricted or lost prime for excessive returns or “unusual” return behavior. This is all based on algorithms. One of the data scientists I used to work with has worked on a lot of their projects to automate a lot of these policies...

Some more pics. It’s crazy how dead solid the Garmin is on this thing. Zero vibration, zero movement and zero noise. I’m not sure if I’m going to leave the RAM Tough Track up there for a GoPro or just reclaim the tray I never used anyway. I’ve got the Garmin canted slightly. I’ve ordered a...

+1 for Bestop customer service once I was able to get ahold of them! I was in phone system limbo with them yesterday for some reason and never got through or got a call back. Today when I got them, they asked for videos and lot of pictures. Apparently this is a known issue they’ve seen on their...
