  1. Mopar mudflaps- alternatives to 1/4 plastic pop rivets

    I bought a set of the Mopar molded front and back mudflaps for my JT. Opening them up and reading the instructions, they are provided with and intended to be used with plastic pop-rivets. I'd like to fasten them securely but still be able to remove them periodically, to clean, apply...
  2. Rustproofing

    I'm with those that agree that the right treatment, put on correctly, can make a big difference. Most of my vehicles I have either done it myself or had it done; used to do it with a friend who used used motor oil (economical but stinky and messy). More recently have used chainsaw bar/chain...
  3. Manual Transmission Club

    Over the weekend I drove a substantial distance to go look at and test drive a Sport S 6MT that had options that I definitely want, and doesn't have a bunch of options that I don't want (some of the options that I want that it doesn't yet have can be added post-purchase). Completely pleased with...
  4. Manual transmission ratings

    I have always preferred manual over automatic transmissions. But for the last 12 years the vehicles that I have had were not even available with a manual transmission. I can say that the 8spd in my 2015 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel, which is the same that's in the JT, is, by far, no runners up, better to...
  5. Factory Service Manual

    I will want this also, although I am expecting (if it is like other factory manuals) that the price will make it something other than a fast, casual purchase....
  6. Gladiator Fiberglass Shell

    That has a look that harkens back to the old fullsize Wagoneers and Cherokees. Wouldn't be my pick to personally own, but I like the look
  7. Can you get a dealer to 'add in' a Freedom Top hardtop?

    Thank you all for the input on this. I realized that I can't really act immediately in any event, because my Ecodiesel (2015 Ram) settlement is submitted, but I have not yet gotten the settlement offer letter to sign.....
  8. Can you get a dealer to 'add in' a Freedom Top hardtop?

    I'd like a manual transmission, which means either ordering or scouring for scarce inventory with anything resembling the rest of the features of what I would like overall- I also would like a hard top. If I find, in fact I did find, one in dealer inventory that has the soft top, is it possible...
  9. Door deadbolt options

    not to be a downer/ defeatist, but if you put a deadbolt on, can't the thieves just unbolt the hinges?
  10. Why I wouldn't wait for a diesel . . .

    It's spelled DEF
  11. Skipped factory bedliner for aftermarket: Cheaper, Thicker, and Lifetime Warranty

    For what it's worth, my 2015 1500 Ram came from the dealer (I bought it off a lot) with factory bedliner. I've previously had Line-X and Onyx installed in other trucks. I don't beat on my truck but I also do not pamper it, and the factory liner has held up as well for me as the aftermarket did...
  12. Why I wouldn't wait for a diesel . . .

    My 2015 Ram 1500 diesel has no sign of soot inside the tailpipe, and if you stand downwind of the exhaust at idle, all you smell is a faint whiff of something that smells like fresh-baking Italian bread. Totally different from old school diesels. That said, I don't want to keep my 3.0 Ecodiesel...
  13. what do the factory body side graphics look like?

    Thanks very much, and that size/ shape/ placement is way not my thing- not really something I want at all, and I especially don't want to pay $$$ for. Thanks
  14. what do the factory body side graphics look like?

    I've been looking around on the Jeep inventory search for anything on a dealer lot, or en route, that might match what I would like, and I have found one candidate, but its options list includes hex bodyside graphics. I've never been a big fan of graphics unless they are at most small and...
  15. Torsen/TrueTrac helical limited slip differential?

    I hope that something becomes available- in my opinion there is nothing that even comes close for something that works fine under ordinary conditions but also greatly contributes to traction when you really need the most possible traction.
  16. Informal Diesel Owner Poll

    Envious of cgflyer - I filed the claim on July 5 for my 2015 ED, and I submitted very good documentation, and, every since, claim status shows stuck at 'under review. I called a week ago and got a bunch of rehearsed helplessness blather about how FCA has supposedly hired lots of specially...
  17. JK wheels on a JT?

    Disappointed but not entirely surprised that 16" wheels won't clear the brakes - better to find out now before spending more time or effort on it.
  18. JK wheels on a JT?

    I'll be very interested in any more info about JK 16 inch wheel compatibility - I am hoping to order my JT in the reasonably near future, and am now leaning towards the Overland, with the one hesitation that the tires that come on the Overland look like they'll be marginal at best in unplowed...
  19. "Aux input" audio jack?

    Great, thanks- my 2015 Ram that I drive now has a CD but it is located under a hatch underneath the center seat section in the front seat - a blazingly inconvenient location. I'm thinking of getting a lossless audio player like one of the mid-priced FiiO units, glad to know that I will have the...
