Google Translate made that a funny for me. A goof pre-vacation giggle. :)

Thanks for the reply. Since you suggested my device, I tried my iPhone. I got it on my iPhone now just fine. Sent the link to my iPad and it is in Chinese again. I read the comments on the Apple app store and there are a lot of people saying their iPad is Chinese while their iPhone is not...

I know it has been mentioned before. Maybe a mod will notice the thread and have more influence letting Jeep know than I have? Weak sauce that it is still not fixed. A bit embarrassing to advertise it in the welcome brochure and have it screwed up. Not the best confidence booster. In the...

I lose my company car when I retire at the end of December. I was going to get a 2024 Gladiator around mid-November. With all the incentives and also thinking that, with these delays, there will be a big pent-up demand, I bought the 2023 at the end of June. I wasn’t even planning to get the 4xE...

Agreed. There are many options out there but only one that can go naked. Bronco may Compete some with the Wrangler but there are no options for the pick-up truck. Plus, it is so easy to mod a Jeep (and spend all your money). I am retiring in four months. I bought a car AND a hobby. What could be...

That looks very good!!

The fishing isn’t what it once was but OBX is still an amazing place to be. Driving by the water is a true blessing. My only issue was that my daughter and wife love driving on the sand as much as I do and it is hard to share the wheel!!

As someone mentioned above, I guess it is a rite of passage. I just didn’t want that in the first month. I bought it to drive on the beach to surf fish so it was going to happen sooner or later. The sand vacuumed out very well too.

I got caught in an unforecast rain storm on my first beach trip. I, of course, left the entire top back on Emerald Isle and had taken a ferry to South Core Banks so there was no way to get back and no structures on the island to park under. I pulled out my Shibumi and set it toward the wind So...

My dealer did the same thing for me (Toler in Morehead City although the one in Lillington was offering the same—Toler just had the options I wanted on the lot). I was able to stack incentives on the $3K and ended up over $8K off MSRP before tax-and-tags. I was planning to buy this fall before I...

Yeah, I have cooked my ass a few times this summer. I started folding down the backseats and storing towels under the backseat to cover the front seats if I couldn’t find a tree. I did buy a waterproof dog blanket that is made for Gladiator / Wrangler backseats. While that was to transport the...

I like your Blackbeard influenced profile picture. Hurricanes fan too?

New owner here too after 32 years of a company car. I have loved my weekends even more now. You mentioned security. You probably already know this one but just in case: the back seat will lock in the upright position with your key. Storage behind both. I have also looked into a lockable box in...

I had an after market one put in on my 2023 Mojave. It was really expensive and goes by the trade name "Wife". Definitely not the best option out there since my model comes with all sorts of other auditory alerts not related to my Jeep.

I went ahead and pulled the trigger when the July 4th specials hit. The potential upgrades were not worth the money they took off to move the 2023s off the lots.

I got caught in a storm on the Outer Banks with no top. Pitched my Shibumi really quickly and it worked great. Not ideal but better than getting soaked. Kept almost all the rain out. I may need Santa to put a soft top under the tree this year.

South Core Banks in North Carolina. Part of the National seashore. Miles of sand….no houses.

I have the hard top too. I unbolt the hard top and place it back on without bolts at night (to keep humidity and salt spray out of it) until the weekend is over then bolt it back on. Not too difficult but not a one person job and my wife hates lifting it. When my house is done in the spring, I...

Same here. LOL.

The picture immediately made me think of the line in Rush’s “Red Barchetta": "Suddenly, ahead of me, across the countryside A gleaming alloy air car shoots toward me, two lanes wide" As in the song, I will stick with the traditional option and enjoy running the hell out of it.
