I don't understand what's happening exactly... Water is collecting in the gutter somehow, then coming out all at once when you get in or out or... how is water getting on you? Where is it collecting? How is it becoming uncollected?

Frustrating. Not surprising. Back to waiting for the Texas State Fair...

According to Donlen, '22 orders open up tomorrow. Anyone want to start a betting pool?

Here's a rumor: I heard JL was cheating on JT with a ZR2... Don't tell Bronco, he'd blow his top (and have to get it replaced under a massive and embarrassing recall)!

Made in China doesn't bother me, but that's a lot for a fiberglass bumper...

It's been said, but you don't need a Rubicon. The point of that package is the off road traction aids, and you pay for them. Overland is the package the marketing department assembled precisely for your demographic. There are others that might also be good, and have been mentioned above, but...

Is the Rivian something you can buy?

Just checked Donlen, and they still say '22 orders open 9/9 (JL is 10/5). What's special about 9/9 for it to show up on two automaker's calendars? That said, Donlen has proven unreliable, and I'm not sure the Silverado and JT are competition enough for that to be very motivating to Jeep. Could...

This is not a thing. It's in just about every other car on the market. I had one in my ZR2, and it was great. Jeep doesn't have some special flying cellphone liability problem. UConnect 5 supports wireless CarPlay. You'll want that wireless charger, especially on long trips. How would it add...

Why is this not already a thing? Isn't it in pretty much every other vehicle on the market? At least within a mile of the price range.

I'm the opposite of a fan boy of any brand. Well... I guess that depends on which direction "opposite" points... I started my car hobbydom with air cooled VWs. Had a half dozen or so of them; mostly late-50s, very early-60s. When I moved to the mountains in Colorado from Texas having never...

Peppers are my favorite food. Pubelos (like hatch peppers, but meatier and with more flavor; heat varies) just came into season and started hitting stores here, and I bought all the big cartons of roasted peppers the grocer had when I was there last. Skin, seed, gill, and then it's taco time...

These! Jeep doesn't even have to spend the R&D to develop any of it, just make it removable, provide a power supply, and that's it! Sorta like Ford's FITS (I think that's what it's called) feature in the new Maverick, but way better. Super awesome feature(s) for next to no dollars on Jeep's...

A removable console (doesn't say some dinky tray or something, but the whole console) would open up all sorts of aftermarket opportunities. This is a major driver of the hobby, and seems like the obvious and awesome choice! The thing I feel is missing is a good spot to put a phone, preferably...

Typical clueless dealer service. Ignore. It is designed to be on continually. There are speed sensors on F/R output and a clutch. If a difference in speed is detected between the axles, the clutch is released to allow slip. The clutch can have variable force applied from 0-100%, and can also...

I honestly don't recall. Some time in the last week or two; possibly around the time the NY Auto Show was supposed to start. I keep several tabs open in a browser window for various sources where I think some news might crop up sooner than later, and it could have scrolled across one of those...

I've had leather in multiple cars, and the durability and cost hits aren't worth the cleaning. We don't do food in cars at all (bears again), so there's not much to spill. Just baby puke and (in the past) dog hair. I'm still waiting for MY22 details to order, but as soon as I know for certain...

The manual probably requires a different computer set, and being a much lower demand option would have been deprioritized in the chip shortage relative to an otherwise identical automatic. It's not just the computer intensity, it's also raw economic demand.

New car forums are magnets for complaints, and make things seem pretty dire across the board. Classic car forums, by comparison, are much more focused on modifications and usage. To tie it into the "Gladiator" theme, Seneca the Younger (Roman philosopher who noodled a fair bit on the nature of...

I have a toddler and live in bear country. She occasionally gets car sick up here on the twisty mountain roads. Much more in the Wife's JKUR than in my ZR2(sold), so I anticipate similar in the JT. An interior that can be properly hosed out is a major plus for me (even without the toddler)...
