In my last couple of Jeeps it seemed changing the transfer case is what helped it loosen up or break-in.
Randomly engaging 4-hi and back to 2-hi while driving down a straight stretch of road a few times and there was a noticeable difference between the first 6-7 times, after that it seemed to...
I’ve grown too attached to the bed to go back. Loved my JKU, it treated me well, but this JT is just an overall better fit for me - Extra emphasis on those last 2 words.
I’ve been using a cheap, sub-$200 Tyger roll-up one from Amazon for the last 3 years. I’ve taken zero care of it and it’s finally gotten a small tear on the one side close to the tailgate. It’s held several inches of snow, and I throw a blanket across it and roll my hard top onto the rails when...
We went last year and had a good time. Lots of Jeep traffic on the Pigeon Forge strip in the evening.
Have fun, say hi to the locals and don’t park where you shouldn’t! ?
Usually just a spectator.
2 birthdays and an anniversary party so missed out on the Invasion but checked out the vendors on Saturday.
How were the trails?
I can’t unsee the weeping eyes/Alice Cooper front end now, so thanks for that ?
Funny for me to think that how stagnant the midsize truck market was when I bought my JT in 2020. Ancient Frontier, old Tacoma, and Ford Taurus looking Ranger and Colorado/Canyon.
These trucks all look much better...
Bartact makes one that’s pretty durable. My dog walks back and forth on it, I’d guess he’s around 50lbs.
However I think it’s fairly pricey for what it is.
Not sure I’d be able to use the Rubicon ones as they’re quite low, but I keep a Leatherman on the passenger side seat, and a smaller bag on the back of the front seats. Usually keep a couple ratchet straps, and some rotating stuff (sunscreen and bug spray or hats and gloves).
I’d like to see them make it to market. I suspect, even far down the road, it would rattle both Bronco and Ranger sales too much with marginal market gain to get the green light.
Midsize truck and Bronco sales would have to be quite hot still while Ranger sales tank I think for Ford to...
With the popularity and price (some SxS cost more than my JT), it might be cool to see Jeep throw their hat in the ring for a SxS competitor that wasn’t weighed down - literally- with all of the CAFE/safety standards. ?
