Is this cheating?;) My JT actually replaced an F250 when I got a bigger boat that I didn’t want to tow. 31 ft Chaparral 307 with a 10.5 ft beam, pretty sure the Jeep isn’t pulling THAT.

Great thread! The oldest I go is a TJ, which I miss badly. My youngest son and I (now 12) are conspiring on buying one and 5.7 Hemi swapping for him to drive, don’t tell the wife! Here’s a couple of crappy pics, the hood bra was tossed in the trash asap after I bought it. Bonus one of my ‘10...

Those are the USA spec max tow fender lips? I really like those and would add them to my Mojave. Also like the export mirrors with side marker lights.

Tires for sure, the crappy stock Mojave AT tires are LOUD and only at 20k miles. I’ll be swapping them onto my teenage son’s Pathfinder soon and upgrading to BFG AT, which in my experience stay pretty quiet as they wear. Second for me is definitely the hard top, I rode in a friend’s JKU...

Yeah the Blazer is a damn travesty. If they brought out a new version of the K5 I bet it would sell like crazy.

Everybody who takes the “free” government money will get taxed elsewhere to compensate. Just go into it with eyes wide open, nothing is free. Much like how government “free” Covid money is a big driver of our current inflation situation.

You do realize that it’s your tax money providing those tax credits, right? And they are taxing more elsewhere to offset what they are giving away? Just wanted to affirm that nothing is “free”, ultimately we are ALWAYS the ones who pay for it. Exactly, it’s a Motortrend jackhole drawing...

Ha! I called a few that had some sort of BS protection package that was basically $2k of tacked on profit that’s “required”. Go eff yourself buddy, I’ll find another dealer that doesn’t play that game.

For the wheel, I would look into the cost of just having yours professionally wrapped with new leather. It would give that thicker feel, probably be higher quality leather, and you wouldn’t be stuck with orange stitching.

The only reason I have a V6 is because I wanted the manual. The V6 is my least favorite thing about the JT. It’s gutless down low, doesn’t like to rev, and generally lacks punch throughout the rev range. It is a terrible engine for a truck or Jeep. Even with my 4.10 Mojave I can barely use...

I love my Mojave but that makes zero sense to me. You’ve already upgraded the suspension on yours, which is most of the value of buying a Mojave. The additional reinforcements are great but will you ever notice? 4.10 is an upgrade but I’m already thinking of 4.56 or 4.88 and I am still on...

That’s why I take the last end spot in the lot. The lazy asshats don’t like walking that far.

That’s a good one too. We do our boating at Lake of the Ozarks so I like seeing some love given to the area, even though he seems to be more in AR than MO.

Ditto, that’s my favorite. Great production value and not just some annoying moron with a cell phone, which is the YouTube usual.

I cross shopped the JT with the Colorado ZR2. I found the ZR2 Multimatic shocks to be supernatural, and the rest of the truck to be crap. The front seats were horrendous, my wife and I both wanted out after 10 minutes. Rear seats are very small, overall interior quality is crap, V6 is mediocre...

I’ve already wasted one trip to my dealership and they were unable to duplicate the issue. Considering this appears to be an issue across multiple Wrangler and Gladiator models I would think some information or knowledge would exist on the topic. Until I can conclusively duplicate the issue...

Update, I’ve done a lot of trial and error with HVAC settings and it doesn’t seem to make any difference at all. I rode with a friend in his late model JKU Rubicon with the V6 and manual transmission over the weekend and it makes the same sound. He said it’s been doing it forever and it bugs...

You take it back!

Oooh fun, I’ll play! Wheels larger than 17” look stupid, extra bonus points for 20”+ Angry grilles and lights are even worse The measure of a man isn’t how badly he has body damaged a $50k truck Tires shouldn’t poke out beyond the fenders Every problem with your truck isn’t just “a Jeep...

More power with a manual transmission would have me considering an upgrade. Otherwise I love my truck. If I’m really being picky it would be nice to have an a-pillar mirror option from the factory, rear roof panels that remove independent from the sides, door or roof panel storage provisions...
