Scuffing may or may not be necessary and may even be counterproductive. Prep and primer will be your most important factors. Make sure there is zero silicone (huge on plastic parts) or grease. The silicone will cause fisheyes, and it's often used on plastic to make it shiny (think Armorall type...
Tick tick tick...
I'm the one that identified the Texas show as the next viable window, but that was based solely on Stellantis's "virtual auto show" website, so I can't really take much credit. I thought I missed a leak or something from the people setting it up. Stellantis says the show...
Fuel economy, torque, and the way the power is delivered. Plus, I think it'd be fun to see how long I could make a tank of gas last. If you live in town and plug in regularly, you could conceivably refill the tank very infrequently. I live up in the mountains, and it'd be interesting to see if I...
Don't the oiled filters also gum up sensors? Could be an outdated datapoint. K&N is for very specific purposes, and something you want to last any amount of time isn't it.
I've tended toward the higher end Wix line when available. I think it's called XP.
An interior overhaul is a bit steep for an off year, but not completely unheard of. If they do the UConnect5 upgrade as expected, a wireless charge pad is a pretty badly needed thing, so it would make sense. Jeep was on here a few days back polling for center console opinions though, and that's...
The entire dealer system needs to be flushed. Back before the internet, an argument could be made for their existence. Now, they're a middleman that adds negative value. Zero value add, tons of friction, millions if not billions added market cost. The entire system could be replaced with a few...
What happened with Texas Auto Show shippers?
It has more power, so any reduction wouldn't be coming from that side, just weight. a #5K tow rating would seem to make sense assuming the weight of the additional kit is at or under a ton and doesn't add too much of a cooling restriction. That...
So... Stellantis says the Texas auto show started today. The Texas Auto Show site says it starts Friday. Maybe they're getting set up or something, and this is part of a trickle of information being released over the next few days until the actual opening of the venue?
For those of us without instagram accounts (I hear I'm not very good at being a millennial), is there anything more to it than that? What time is it counting down to?
Interesting take. That may be the case right now, but a year from now will likely be very different, and plenty of people are still trying to pretend things are fine, just fine. They may be able to get away with laziness now, but it won't last and they'll lost in the long run. Management knows...
There is a lot of speculation about all sorts of things. Extreme Recon package, 4Xe, V8, and other fun things that would be great. UConnect5 has been in production in a number of other vehicles in the stable, and just hasn't made it to the Wrangler/Gladiator yet. I'm not aware of any other...
Yeah. Some illiterate guy posted bad information by a salesperson who was similarly clueless. Ignore. There's a whole thread about MY22 speculation and timing. The changeover is imminent, but hasn't occurred as of now.
I'm also in an ordering soon state, and have given this a lot of thought with a long and varied car history to back it up:
- First things first. Take. Your. Time. The model year changeover is imminent, so what you decide on now may not be available tomorrow anyway. Even if you're perfectly...

Tomorrow is the next show reveal opportunity according to Stellantis. Clicking through the link they provide to the show itself says it's Friday, but who's counting? From a news perspective, the former makes slightly more sense. You hold news to Friday...
I checked that out after seeing the OP. Their number one pick is the minivan with the back hacked off. Only other mid-size truck to be recommended is the Gladiator! In the past, you'd be forgiven for thinking CR was sleeping with Toyota, but the Tacoma is rated only one meh. I thought that was...
I would. You don't strictly have to, but during break in, you'd need to be SUPER light on the throttle to keep the load on the engine down. Especially if you have the 3.73 R&P.
