Well, I'm only 5'6". Well, I was the last time I had my height checked a couple decades ago...and I damn sure haven't gotten taller, I promise you this. Hiking that leg is a non-issue for us vertically challenged owners.

For me, that was not the case. I bought mine used, it was 2 years old. I always try to not buy used, I like new because then I know the history from the day it was born. My ride home was maybe 1 hour, but I spent that hour with the radio off and I tried to listen to every sound I could...

Mine was the first time I could try 4-wheel drive. I bought my 2023 Freedom used, I did do the, "Okay, it goes into 4L. Okay, it goes into 4H.", but truthfully, all that proved was the shifter worked. One Saturday, right after purchase, my wife and I took a ride to Galveston. Then we hopped...

I've had a dead pedal on my Wish List since I bought the Gladiator. My last 4 vehicles had them, so when I found this one didn't, it was put on the "gotta get" list; I thought it was idiotic that Jeep forgot such a simple thing. My first couple drives, I put my left foot out for the dead...

Sorry, but spending 250 bucks to carry a 49 dollar table doesn't make much sense to me; kinda like taking a full coverage insurance policy on a 1987 Yugo with 185,000 miles on it. You can, but why ?

Wildhobo - I am amazed at the differences...yesterday I was putting leather treatment on my seats; sweating like a hooker in the front pew at church on Easter Sunday. You got snow.

:LOL: I used to do those "trick pics" with my Renegade. I'd brag to my buddy that drives a Taco and send a pic of me getting over 45 mpg. But I used to crop the pic so he couldn't see the full gas tank.... With the 9 speed tranny it had, I did get +/- 35 mpg, though. Hated the vehicle, hated...

Yesterday I washed and waxed it. When I ran my hand over the shiny paint, I felt...grit. Not a lot, but some. This morning when I woke up, I grabbed a cup of Joe, went outside and clay-barred it. Re-waxed it, ran my hand...smooth as a baby's butt. There ya go. Clean.

Agreed. High mpg's was not a deciding factor in buying this vehicle. I knew what I was getting into; hence the reason I bought it as a retirement gift, not a work vehicle. But if I can eek out just a wee bit more.....it's a problem in my cabeza, I know....

Is that a stock steering wheel ? That "nickelodeon slime" padding on top is interesting. How is it ? I know if it was on mine, I'd be picking at it as I drive, the glue holding it wouldn't stand a chance... :)

I pretty regularly get between 20-24 mpg. BUT - I do not lead-foot in the slightest. I do not punch the gas. I don't jump off the line when the light turns green. I pick a lane and stay there. I pick a speed and stay there. It's not important to me to be in #1 pole position. My wife says...

Short drive in saltwater beach sand yesterday, so today I gave it a bath and a orbital wax job. Then cleaned the interior up.

Dilly'S Willy - Good info on Grimm !! Glad the only thing I bought was a bumper light bracket; no CARB requirements there !! :) They probably got their "business ethics" from Apple. I've always been an Android guy from way-back-when. My wife loves iPads. I bought her an iPad Mini when...

I've read posts where owners only replace one of the two batteries because the "other tested good". To be honest, that's totally against my train of thought. When I was first discharged from the Corps, I got a job as an armed Security Officer. Started on nights. State law says we can't...

I'm not a fan of cowl lights either, being they inhibit the lowering of the windshield. Have I ever lowered it ? Nope, not yet, but I can. With cowl lights, that's a no-can-do. Ever. I didn't want to go '70's crazy with a crap load of KC HiLites all over the front end. I bought a nice...

Excellent advice !! Agree 100%. I bought both batteries, brand new Gold AC Delco AGM's. I metered them, they were at 12.1 vdc or so. Not fully charged. I put them on my AGM trickle charger, it took over 24 hours to bring each battery back up to full. 2 days of charging. Thankfully I was...

Yeah, that's always depressing. My wife is originally from Buffalo NY, I'm from Long Island, met in Texas. We spoke often about our childhoods. On our 10th anniversary, we decided to go visit each of our hometowns. When we got to the woods were me and my friends played Army, then as teens...

Yep. As a kid, I remember when Bigfoot first came out. I remember saying, "That looks so stupid !!" and getting ridiculed. Not long after, many Ford 250's were raised with homemade lift kits (some were blocks of wood between body and frame, I kid you not), bigger tires but not Bigfoot big...

I think a lot of it's effectiveness depends on location (map-wise). My wife's car has a external XM radio mounted in her console cubby. The bracket is held on with genuine 3M tape. I cleaned the area with alcohol applied the bracket on a perfectly flat area and let it sit for 48 hours, no...

My Jeep came with a Mopar Jeep sunshade, I haven't had the need to deploy it yet. Those days are a-coming !! :) I do already have the Design Engineering Boom Mat installed, hopefully I can keep some of the heat at bay... The heat in Texas is incredible. It routinely stays above 100* and...
