More eating and drinking than wheeling, but she needed the break and every time we went through high water, she said, "SO glad we got a Jeep !!". She saw a full size Dodge truck making a U-turn (surprising, as the water wasn't that deep at all) and she shouted, "WUSSY !!!! GET A JEEP !!".
I...
Spent Wednesday through Saturday on Galveston Island. My wife had a rough 2 weeks at work and wanted to relax, so we checked into Moody Gardens resort. Nice joint.
Of course on the day we headed out, Tropical Storm Arthur decided HE wanted to spend time on the island, also. It had already...
In 1975, at age 14, my Dad brought home a non-running 1954 M38A1 (military Jeep) 24 volt system, waterproof engine (NOT water resistant, waterPROOF). Still OD green with U.S. Army and stars all over it. The Real Deal, no civilian CJ..
He told me, "Get it running and inspected before you get...
Unless I misread, AUX 1 and 2 are 40 amp, AUX 3 and 4 are 15 amp. If you wired in a 50 amp to AUX 3, won't it still trip at 15 amp ? The factory pigtails for AUX 3 and 4 are considerably thinner than AUX 1 and 2.
Admittedly, electrics are not my strong suit....just hypothesizing out loud....
I've purchased many a decal from Extreme Terrian, good company, good decals. I've also purchased from Adventure Life USA (I especially like their custom hood decals), another good company.
About as wrong a test as there could be. I was sitting in my driveway in the middle of a subdivision, 2 story houses all around. BUNCH of whatnot between me and the repeater. My wife and I are about to hit the road for the rest of the week, I'm going to give both antenna's a shakedown. Right...
Replaced the MXTA 25 3db gain Ghost antenna (looks like a V8 juice can) for a MXTA 26 6db whip (about 32" tall).
While sitting in my driveway, tried hitting a repeater about 25-30 miles away with the Ghost, wasn't happening. Tried with the whip, nice and loud and clear. So the whip for road...
Just imagine how happy we'd all be if Jeep didn't say anything until they had a fix ready. LOL
My plan is; if they release a fix in say, August, I ain't jumping on it. I'm not going to be at the dealership that morning jumping and turning in tiny circles saying, "Me !! Me !! Me !!". I'm...
Okay, gotta ask....why is there the constant comparison of Jeep against Toyota ?
Is this just another variation of the ongoing Ford vs Chevy battle ?
You know both "battles" are silly as hell, right ? More or less an adult version of "My Dad can beat up your Dad".
I had a somewhat similar...
Exactly !!
We were at my Mother-in-Law's house yesterday and my MIL asked, "Are you about done doing things to this Jeep ?", my wife immediately says, "HAH !!!".
As did mine. I tried calling this guy, he retired in 1968.
(For those too young to understand, he went by Agent 000)
Yeah, I haven't had my coffee yet....
I called my dealer today to schedule an appointment (like the web site said, although I already knew the answer...)
Jeep receptionist: Hello
Me: Can I have service, please
(call transferred)
Service: How can I help you ?
Me: I may be the first to call about the recent recall...
(silence)
Me...
And not too long ago I was teasing my buddy that owns a Taco and a Tundra...Pulling up my Jeep on the Jeep app, "Look....NO recalls, no nothing !! Can YOU say that ??".
I'm just waiting on that phone call..... His Tundra infotainment screen issue of it blacking out ain't nothing compared to...
I always leave my tonneau on for a few reasons. Security of what I have in there, of course, and many years ago when I had my first truck, it had no cover. Many, many times when coming up to my truck, I'd find empty soda cans, beer cans, McDonald's bags, cigarette butts, all sorts of trash...
Mine stays in my cargo box as I do not leave my hitch on unless I need it. I've whacked my shins one too many times on that blasted thing. That nice rubber Jeep hitch cover plug is mighty nice.
I'm not worrying about it....it does no good. If I made the list and get notified, I'll stand in line like everyone else and not have my Jeep for a month or so....
I told my wife about this whole thing, she shrugged her shoulders then says, "If it burns, you can get a 2026, no worries.". Then she adds, "Y'think you should take the big-ass fire extinguisher out of the bed ?", then smiles.
:LOL:
