  1. My ass is killing me after a 4-hour drive

  2. Beyond pissed

    I have been buying/selling via forums for around 18 years and have had no issues until recently when I got scammed out of 200 bucks. I listed a WTB, he contacted me, sent me legit pictures of exactly what I was looking for with info to back it up, and we agreed to an accurate market value...
  3. Happier Then or Happier Now?

    I was quite excited when i got mine just over three months ago. I was hell bent on getting out of my aging F150 while it still had value, while also getting me back into a Jeep after missing my TJ. It just doesnt quite fit the bill as well as Id hoped. I need more interior space for the fam...
  4. Can you fit 5x 35" rims/tires in the bed?

    I transported five 305/65r17's in the bed loose with no straps. Four across against the cab, one leaning up against the four, tilted to jam between the tailgate at the tires. Worked fine, could have used some straps. I dont think youll have an issue, bring some straps in case you need to...
  5. OEM Remote Start add-on?

    For whats its worth, I used one of the 12volt Solutions kits on my wifes 2017 Lexus and its great. Three hits of the OEM fob lock button and the car remote starts. Looks like they make a gladiator kit, though it appears that you have to send their module in for programming completion once you...
  6. Should I get a snow plow?

    Ive not seen that type of setup, but it just slides into a front receiver and plugs in. Like sliding and pinning a hitch at the back bumper. Neat concept. https://www.thehomeplow.com/
  7. Busted Driver Side Window

    Similar event happened to me. Lived in a safe enough area to feel as though I didnt need to lock my car doors. I still don't as Id rather they take what they want by opening the door and saving me from broken glass aggravation. Anywho, I had someone pillage through my glove box, center...
  8. Busted Driver Side Window

    I see some shots with the center console open. Did they take anything of value? Depending on the insurance you carry, glass wouldnt carry a deductible. I suppose if the cost to fix it less than your deductible, then youre on the right track. Sorry for your troubles.
  9. No diff drain plugs?!

    I dont agree. I work in manufacturing engineering and deal with things like this frequently. From an OEM standpoint, I understand and frankly agree with wanting to reduce up front cost and improve durability. Its a win-win from Jeep's standpoint, especially when the resultant product is the...
  10. No diff drain plugs?!

    Im on the opposite side of the fence here. My experience has been thats its MORE common for trucks to NOT have drain plugs. Every solid axle I have ever done work on has required pumping the fluid out or a cover removal. Heck, theres no drain plugs on my '87 Ford with a Dana 60 up front and a...
  11. URGENT dealer wants to charge me $145 for "recalibration to new tire size"

    I have my own tire mounting machine and balancer at home. The balancer is from 2006 and does great with "normal" stuff, but not so great with bigger tires. After much trial and error over the years, I wrote my balancer off on anything larger than 33" and/or anything heavy, but gave this wheel...
  12. URGENT dealer wants to charge me $145 for "recalibration to new tire size"

    good info! and good point with the % off for changing tire size.
  13. URGENT dealer wants to charge me $145 for "recalibration to new tire size"

    The analog speedo is hard to read or compare to due to the parallax effect, so I was comparing the digital readout to the "speedometer" app on my phone. The digital speedo is approximately 1-1.5mph faster than the GPS.
  14. URGENT dealer wants to charge me $145 for "recalibration to new tire size"

    This sounds along the lines of what they were trying to do, along with the BS of "youll have issues with your brakes and steering if we dont!". Again, I used Jscan to recal the new tire size when I put them on, so I am good. The speedo is between 1-1.5mph too fast compared to GPS, which is...
  15. URGENT dealer wants to charge me $145 for "recalibration to new tire size"

    Well, not much to report as we thought. I walked in and there was no conversation, “please pay this 67 dollar bill for the road force balance of all four”. Seems like they realized they weren’t going to win this one haha. Thanks again all. As a bonus, the balance is mint.
  16. URGENT dealer wants to charge me $145 for "recalibration to new tire size"

    Very cool, you all confirmed my thoughts, just wanted to verify with the crowd. Appreciate it! I'll be checking the speedo accuracy on the way home....
  17. URGENT dealer wants to charge me $145 for "recalibration to new tire size"

    Yea i feel the same. I am no novice when it comes to this stuff, so it sounded fishy right off the bat. They didnt seem pleased when i called them out on it. When i told them I recalibrated myself I got a snarky response "how did you even do that?". I told them I purchased the equipment and...
  18. URGENT dealer wants to charge me $145 for "recalibration to new tire size"

    I bought 315/70r17's and mounted/balanced them myself. I bought the bypass cable and Jscan and recalibrated the Jeep to my new tire size. I dropped my Jeep off this morning to have the wheels road force balanced and they just called to tell me it was all set. They want to charge me $145 to...
  19. Looking for a unicorn phone mount. Any suggestions?

    No issues at all. I rock a otterbox case which has a rubber outer shell. The clamp holds it very firmly. The spring in the mount is so strong, it certainly takes some getting used to, but its certainly confidence inspiring.
  20. Looking for a unicorn phone mount. Any suggestions?

    I have the bulletpoint drivers side mount with the phone "clamp". If I clamp it in the middle of the phone, yes, its above the dash and is in my line of sight. So I clamp it at the top of the phone just above the volume and screen buttons (iphone). Phone top is level with the dash and I can...
