Yes, I never understood the big issue with the start/stop button also. To me it's like the volume or setting the radio station when I get in and close the door. If I forget to press the start/stop button after I start to drive and happen to be in a situation where the engine turns off, I press...

I have a 23' Boston Whaler (heavy) center console with a 300hp single outboard, trailer and gas that come close to my 7,000 lb. towing capacity on my JTR. Have never had a problem pulling it out of the "hole" at the boat ramp with just 2x4. Of course, if there is a lot of algae or other stuff...

Maybe if they also reintroduced that Peugeot-built 5 speed manual used back in the '80's would even further enhance the overall quality perception of the joint venture.

It still comes down to price. Price. Price. I could foresee it as a top of the line trim starting at 75k, knowing Stellantis. Interestingly, a local dealer here has a 2021 GC Limiited on the lot with the 5.7 V8 that was originally available then as an option. They had the original window...

Maybe this is a foolish question but did you lose/can't find the ones for the front. If they show up, I may be interested.

Is your smog test in Cali just stricter numbers on the stuff coming out of the tailpipe? I recall when I lived in NJ many years ago and I failed my test. I simply ran it down nearly empty, went to the hardware store, bought a gallon of methanol and poured it into the gas tank. It ran like...

I think "laziness" has little to do with it. Even for myself, I have owned manuals all my life but finally "gave in" and bought an automatic. It's not my laziness. With aren't living in the days of the three or even four speed manuals when shifting was generally easier, at least in day to day...

@Dillys is correct. The manuals are currently gone, at least in '25/'26. To the best of my knowledge here in the US, the only Jeeps available with manuals currently are the Wranglers. And per the build site, the manual only comes with the 3.6. If you want the 2.0 turbo, you automatically get the...

You really got me thinking on this one. I finally did find a Wrangler Sport S with a manual trans with the 3.6 that showed 19/17/23 on the sticker. Of course there currently is no manual 3.6 on the Gladiators but the automatic Gladiator Sport S stickers show 19/17/22. Virtually the same and...

True, maybe I was making too much of a generalization. It's even difficult (at least all the dealers I have just looked up) to even find a manual transmission and look at the window sticker on-line. I would still think that a manual vs. automatic in the same configuration would not vary by more...

I wouldn't blame it on the 8 Speed ZF transmissions. The mileage difference between manual and automatic now is minimal. In some cases an automatic may be a MPG lower, but in many if not most cases today, it's a wash. At least so when driving "normally" on the highway when the computer can...

Did you fill the Jeep up at a station on the top of a high hill and then take the reading at the bottom?

I fully understand. I am, well, semi-retired in that I still support about 3 clients who used our software years ago and still haven't upgraded. I may work a day a month if that, so I guess I am as close to retirement as being retired. Anyway, I totally understand what you are saying. That's...

My '24 JTR gets about 17 totally city, 18 mixed, and maybe close to 19 on straight highway around 65-70MPH. Factory 33" Falcon Wildpeaks. No hills here in South Florida. When I bought this one as with all the others, MPG was not the decision-making factor.

Very true regarding the warranty. HF wanted $160 or something additional for a 2 year warranty when I bought mine. I said thanks but no thanks. That's like a third of the price of new one so when the day comes, I guess I just wait for one of the specials and buy a new one. With the Warn, I know...

Wow, I didn't see the Warn VR 12000 with synthetic line for $900 at Jeep Beach but that would definitely be worth considering. But then, at double the price of the Badlands, it is worth it? Yes, I guess I would rather have Warn plate on my bumper, but you have to admit a lot of the vendors...

Not to argue your point, but where do you find a Warn 12000 at just double the price of a Badlands? Maybe three times more or even more than that, but I probably would have done a 12000 Warn at $900. (I paid $450 for my Badlands). Even at $900, that was about half the price of what I was seeing...

Got it. I just thought now it was referred to as a 3.0. But back in the day, I had a 327 Chevy and 360 AMC Jeep engine. So I guess we get sentimental at times.

As I posted on another thread here (and on the Wrangler Forum, I have both vehicles), when I went to Jeep Beach thing in Daytona Beach and the Speedway, I was surprised by the number of HF Apex 12000's even in the vendor area on their modified, lifted, and whatever things they were selling. Yes...

What is a 182?
