I feel the same way. I don't get it either. There is something you know works, tested by the manufacturer, used by the manufacturer and you know works. Then some try to save a few bucks on maintenance on a vehicle that may cost a significant percentage of one's annual salary. I don't see the point.

Then you should pick your parking spots more carefully. I have the stock 33" Falkens that came on my Rubicon and park next to Subarus to boost my sense of self worth.

I guess I am not as paranoid as I thought. When taking my vehicle in for service, I always made a small mark or scratches on the oil filter (of so equipped) or a smudge or something on the canister that would be obvious to me if the filter was not taken off. I don't actually test the oil, but at...

I also don't see the problem with the 8th gear thing. If it likes 7th gear when towing, use 7th. If I'm driving on a gravel road at 25 mph and it wants 3rd or 4th gear, what's the problem? Would it be better to have an old 3 speed automatic that will simply shift into "H" or 3rd and in most...

I think my middle name is Bliss ...

It does seem strange they would list the full-time 4x4 it on the 2024's but not on the 2025's (window stickers).

Looking back, I think now I should have bought the X with the full-time 4x4 instead of the standard Rubicon. I never realized it was such an "in demand" thing by many people. Probably would have added value to the vehicle. I could have had one for about 4k more than the Rubicon I purchased and...

Yes, when I was shopping at the beginning of the year (for a 2024 model), the Full Time 4x4 was a line item on the Rubicon X package window sticker. I see it nowhere on the 2025 window stickers I have pulled up. Seems to me it's more than just an error or omission. Now I'm thinking about...

Yes, strange but true that they now kind of hide or at least don't highlight the type of 4 wheel drive in the product they are selling. In 2024, the X models did specify the Full Time 4x4 on the window sticker in the options section (one of the items detailing the X package items). But just for...

You failed to mention that for your hypothesis to be valid, you must add 2 quarts of Marvel Mystery Oil. Those LCD's will shine like never before.

But how we explain the fun he would have with a Roto- Rooter enema?

I read about all the battery stories here (thinking about my 2024 JTR) and I just wonder if I am lucky or if batteries simply don't last as long today. My wife had a new 2015 BMW (model 320i, the least expensive model in the US at the time) that we bought in Sept 2014. She drove it until we...

Thanks for everyone's responses. I should have looked further myself but now I've got it. Thanks to all.

I hope this doesn't show my ignorance for asking (although it's easy to do), but people here often talk about their transmission shifting between gears (7 to 6, 6 to 5, etc.) when towing, especially uphill or with heavier loads. Maybe I haven't read through whatever Jeep manual there is online...

I am so glad about the low taxes here in Florida but the downside is that wages are low compared to the property values. So many employed here are in the hospitality industry (restaurants, hotels, travel) and service industries; typically not high paying jobs. So many people come to live here...

I still don't get the duck thing either. I parked mine at my local food store (Publix) one morning and came out and two ducks were placed on the hood next to the windshield. It was cute but I still don't get it when I see Jeeps here with 20 or 30 on their dashboards.

This is a calm forum. Did you notice your flies were open. It is distracting to many of us. Welcome and please try to maintain the dignity of the forum.

Sounds like a fee structure that was created by the car repair mechanics lobby. Keep your older cars running and pay less for taxes.

That's a real crap having to pay sales tax up front AND a tax on the value of vehicle. That's like double taxation.
