Tore up the trails at Rausch Creek today with benbean66 & nachoruby. Nothing but impressed with how my stock Willys JT performed.

Just got settled into my hotel in Harrisburg about 30 miles away from Rausch. Really looking forward to tomorrow.

Awesome. That is living life right there.

Same. At 47 y/o, with degenerative disc disease and having already undergone knee & hand surgery with minimal to no long-term effects... this is likely my last vehicle. If I'm still driving at age 67, it will be in this same truck. My biggest fear is not resale value, it is whether the...

'Tis why engine temperature of 210 to 230 is "normal" even with water as coolant, even though water evaporates at 212.

Not entirely true. Ambient humidity makes air "thicker" or "thinner". The amount of water vapor in the air (aka "humidity") can have a drastic effect on the ability of said air to heat or cool anything (both animate or inanimate). 50 degree air can be comfortable for hours in shorts and a...

Pushing 50. Ibuprofen stopped working almost 30 years ago when me & guys in my line unit (1st Bn. 2nd Marines,, Bravo Co.) Would pop 2400mg of ibuprofen before morning PT. Civvies have no clue what high-speed military personnel endure. So yes, manual transmission is only for weekend toys for...

For a weekend "fun" vehicle, manual transmission is great. But for those of us 40+ y/o, especially those who have already had surgery on their left knee, automatic transmission is a must for a daily driver.

Meeting up with some fellow forum members this Sunday at Rausch Creek in PA. Looking to meet up in their parking lot at 10am. We will do at least one honor badge trail (trail #11), and maybe Crawler Ridge too. Reply or send PM if interested so we can exchange info. Any Jeeps or other...

Body mounts are rubber or polyurathane bushings. They add another level of complexity when trying to engineer a vehicle to be stable at highway speeds and limit vibrations. Unibody will have smoother highway ride, but flex more and have less strength than a fully boxed (all removable-top jeeps...

Because non-oem is a $50 deductible with insurance. OEM would be hundreds out of pocket. Times 1 windshield/year (from my past experience), that could be $5k before my truck is paid off, lol.

Bet this becomes a "sticky thread". 504 miles on the odometer & Safelite is coming tomorrow to replace my windshield. Stone chip became a stone crack across the whole windshield in 12 miles, lol. Anyone have a source for the graphic of the little jeep that is trying to climb the curve of...

Ever driven big offroad tires before? Tire "hum" is noticeable, especially on vehicles without much noise dampening insulation (like Jeeps). 50+ mph is where it gets very prominent. Just one of many possible explanations for the noise you are hearing.

Awesome customization that you have made. Looks great & seems very functional. Nice job.

Leaks? In a removable-top Jeep? The drain plugs are there for a reason. 500 miles in 2 weeks. Actually drove with my wife just to drive with top down on a nice day. Something that I missed since my last Wrangler got an electrical gremlin about 3 years ago. 0 regrets. Paid extra for 10...
