Such a strange part to experience problems with. Those paper thin fender liners / inner fenders really, not liners. Driving back we encountered strong head winds. I started to hear a weird howl type noise. Jeeps are weird when it comes to sounds. The noise first came and went intermittently...

Did a trip from Phoenix to San Diego and back. While driving down the road AC working fine. Then we would hear what sounded like heavy rain or sand hitting the windshield. Warm air would be felt by passenger feet and then back to cool air through the vents. Later it sounded more like a piece...

Im good with 33’s. I remember the days 31x10.50’s were the shit. And ppl did the rubicon on those. I also travel out of the US. Intend to take my Sports trim down south Jeeps helped make the 285 somewhat available down there. 35’s are not going to be available unless you plan to send one via...

Sorts trim with lockers. Doesn’t even have to be the 1.5” wider one. That’s it. You guys can argue about the other non essential crap. For he diesel guys a Diesel engine that isn’t crap.

My choice to stay in the 33 club is logistics. That is other than US tires over that size are hard to get. 285/70r17 are available in other countries. And those are a maybe. Besides when I was young 33s were the tires to get. But sure as not, that price differences do climb steeply at 33s and...

In case anyone was wondering : Bumper is a knock off Rubi steel from eBay. The steel parts are near identical to real one. Where it cheapens out is coating and fasteners and the plastic thingies, whatever they are called. It came with winch mount which looks and is flimsy. So yeah, don’t go...

Pretty sure GM only made 12 for sale. Sure looks that way. And yes, I'm sure at some point we will see the diesel die in the Jeep sooner than later

How did you know the old motor blew? With the 3.6 it's so common and inexpensive to replace that certain engine work would take up more shop hours that they would replace motors. Also dealerships are trying to rake in as much as possible doing warranty work to charge for unnecessary work...

Seeing post like these makes me feel better getting a basic sport with a hardtop and putting on ARB lockers next.

I normally would hate that stock bumper especially the end pieces With yours it seems ok with that lift. Good job

Not a bad call having both. I considered a 2 door JL Light and compact. But I still have my YJ doing a Cummins swap.

What do you mean you haven't heard of EV's burning up? Just that EV's make the news if they go up. Watching some YT stuff about EV they do mention running coolant through battery packs. Anything that creates friction has the risk of catching on fire.

4xe is definitely stupid. Making the current design Wrangler/Gladiator into a hybrid or EV anything is about as a smart of an idea like making a deuce and a half a hybrid or EV. Expect huge design change next generation of Wranglers / Gladiators (if they still make JT's by then). I'm positive...

I still have yet to see one single EV semi on the road. Also note we aren't seeing any companies or gov office embracing EV as of yet. Lets see how this develops in 10 years. Spending $60k (average OTD price - yes I know the cheapest is $40k before tax and license) on a to and from work...

Peacekeeping mission in Sinai in the 80's we had M151 Mutt Jeeps. Also W Germany and Yakima Firing Center, all M151's. This is why I like to bag on heavy modified Jeeps. You couldn't imagine where we took these things with those tires, that clearance, not to mention independent suspension...

This is where I would have inserted a "That's why no one will remember your name" meme from the movie Troy. But your name is Troy so I guess they will. Just not for any trail badges

Someone has a 3.6 on FB marketplace with 15k miles and transmission for $1000. At least these are cheap to replace

Extended warranties are not warranties but service contracts. Ask Ram guys with CP4 issues and “extended warranties” work out for them. It’s the cancel culture thing.

yesh, that CP4.2 was the very CP4.2 they had in the two years with 2019 and 2020 Cummins. They went with another pump which looks identical to a CP3 in 2021, but think we are dummies and called it something else. They still had $10k plus repairs Eventually going back, I meant went to a new...

There is this thing. It’s called the internet, and it has this other thing that works with it called Goog… JK After EPA went all out with suppliers and shops in the US (not individuals with deletes contrary to truckerlore) things have gone radio silent on deletes. This ramped up late 2020. And...
