Im going to guess that they will not lock down like that. the locking feature just keeps the latch from actuating.

ahh see I forgot about power steering! The vehicles I have driven with it all have electronic power steering so they still worked. That is a good point.

Why do so many people seem not like (or if you like it) stop start or ESS? Just looking for peoples reasons for or against, not hating or being confrontational. I just simply want to know peoples thoughts. For me, I like stop start. 1) If you have a manual and stall it, press the clutch in and...

They can claim it because it has the highest for a 4x4, so best in class for midsize 4x4 truck.

Not sure exactly where to post this so feel free to move to correct location. went to the Detroit auto show on Saturday and got to poke around the gladiator and noticed a few small things that I have I have not heard talked about yet. First, a locking gas cap! I know that for auto shows...

vents on the top of fenders are to get rid of the high pressure on the top of the tire caused by it rotating. this can actually lift the car at high speeds by pushing up on the fender. Below is a picture of the porsche 919 LMP1 car, you can see the air flow exiting over the front fender compared...

they seem to be making teasers about the build so here is the link to Savvy OffRoad facebook to follow the build. https://www.facebook.com/SavvyOffRoad/

Dakar is on motortrend on demand I believe. Also The usual energy drink suspects sometimes post updates on youtube. KOH will live stream https://www.ultra4racing.com/live

Michigan manufactures plates.

I mean if they are looking at us.... I think $25,000 is a good honest starting price ;)

It would be pretty awesome to see a full on Jeep trophy truck (or "trophy Jeep" as Casey calls his) or a Ultra 4 build but I think the timing is too short for that much fabrication and development for a vehicle of that caliber. 16 days until race weekend, I think you are about to see the first...

Its is not uncommon for pre-production / non-salable vehicles to end up as race cars. Since most end up in line for the crusher, some teams (most of the time factory backed) can get their hands on a body or vehicle to campaign off of public roads. I'm guessing since Currie Enterprises does a lot...

Found a post this morning about a team that is going to be racing a new Jeep at King of the hammers (KOH). The Jeep looks a lot like a JT and KOH is only in a few week, starts on February 1st. Drivers are stated to be Casey Currie and Erik Miller. They also state that they will be entering in...

Its automotive industry logic, sorry for that. If you release it on the last day of June, at 11:59 PM, its technically still released in Q2. The target timing plan probably includes a few weeks baked in for delays or if issues pop up. If things go smooth it could be sooner I'm guessing.

Should be close to 18 inches. We know the volume, length, and with of the bed and can calculate the missing height with H=V/(L*W) Values are from spec sheet: Volume of cargo box = 35.5 cubic feet (61344 cubic inches) Length of bed = 60.3 inches (5.025 feet) Cargo with = 56.8 inches (4.733 feet)...

I have Uconnect in my 2018 RAM and it works well. Its pretty responsive, the voice control seems to work well. Takes a second or two to open google maps in apple car play (but it saves you having to pay for navigation). One part I enjoy the most is the owners manual is also stored in the...

Looks like most of the money is being paid to California. "The settlements are now lodged with the San Francisco division of the United States District Court, North District of California, where they await judicial approval. The approximately $400 million in civil penalties includes: $305...

Just read that today (1/10/2019) FCA will pay a fine of $800 million for diesel emissions lawsuit. I really hope this doesnt change the release of diesel JT or JL. article below...

I'm not sure if this fits in here, but Casey Currie (his last name should be familiar to some Jeep fans) runs what he calls his "trophy Jeep" in Baja and King of the Hammers. It would be pretty neat to see this performance based Gladiator Hercules in some racing for "promotional and testing...

I think we need numbers here to help figure out why or to even guess as to if FCA/Jeep will build a two door. This post has been going on for a while and no real stats have shown to support a two door. Colorado non-fleet extended cab sales numbers? ZR2 extended cab sales numbers? (I personally...
