I'd probably use a drill bit and a drill in an emergency situation. Then get the plug / glue in there, fill it with air. Then get a patch once you get to a tire shop.
One of the main reasons I got rid of my wheels. Too heavy and cumbersome.
I had a Wrangler Sport and I 100% agree with you. The manual trans has terrible ratios. I regretted my purchase and traded it in for an Auto JT the same week I test drove an auto Rubi JL.
I just sold my commuter 19' VW Jetta for $3500 more than what I paid new. It was a leftover I bought in 2020. I had a ton of positive equity because I almost paid it off in a year. So, I got a 13K+ check in the mail.
I'm commuting in the Gladiator for now and I will probably get a beater until...
I thought it was bird poo. I don't know if anything was actually on there. Once I gave it a hand wash, that's when I realized it was the clear "not poo".
I didn't know bird poo could do that. It's never happened to any of my other cars. Good to know it's not poo resistant. lol
I do live on the...
So I was thinking, I forgot that I had warranty work on it a few months ago. The right rear axle was replaced due to a heavily leaking seal. I wonder if somehow they got brake fluid on it. I will never know because I didn't notice it when I picked it up. It didn't look as bad until now...
That's the plan. I've had a bunch of cars & a few motorcycles. I've never seen paint flake like that except older cars that have sat in the sun. They don't look like round drips / splatter. More like sharp flakes.
Not being a paint professional to identify defects.
Yeah it did. I usually do touchless car washes. So I did a few of those and noticed it wasn't coming off. That's when I noticed it was the clear that was flaking.
That's what I was thinking too, but it hasn't ever been in for service. I never worked on it either. I just got the first oil change done and I noticed before I took it in.
Unless these birds have some corrosive poo. ?
I have a 21 Willys JT.
I noticed a while back that my trucks fender had some spots on it. I thought it was bird poo.
Now looking closely and after a good wash. It seems like the clear is flaking off in this specific area on the fender.
My 18' Wrangler JLs grille had a chunk of paint coming...
I got the Beamtech H13 LED bulbs (No Fan) and LASFIT 5202 LED Fog Light bulbs.
I was 99% dead set on getting Projectors and wanted to give it a try.
I do not regret my choice. These are great quality and far beyond my expectations.
The headlights have a really good cutoff as long as you adjust...
I think you will be happiest with the 4 Runner. It's more comfortable and smooth on the Freeway. You can't beat the support from Toyota either. My GF is a Toyota Service advisor and the company stands behind their products.
One thing to note. The Gladiator does feel long. Especially turning...
It's only my opinion. I think the Gladiator is a truck first before a Jeep. The best offroad midsize truck. With an emphasis on the "midsize". The reason why I say that and why I feel like I can say that. I owned a Wrangler before the Gladiator. It can't touch it offroad. The break over and...
Max Tow > Mojave > Rubicon > Willys > Sport
In my opinion. Why?
It's a truck. I would imagine people bought a truck to be a truck. Although this "truck" is the most offroad capable truck. You will get the most out of a Max Tow. Still has Dana 44 wide axles and LSD. Best all around.
Why do I...
I would definitely think they over torqued the bolt. But either way. It's an easy fix. $800+ dollars for a weld. Just get a shop to fabricate something better and weld it on for like 1/8th of that cost. Probably a muffler shop can do it for super cheap. Maybe a high grade steel or something. Hit...
I've wondered if Jeep corrected the speedo and shift points for the Willys Auto for the 32s Mud Terrain Tires.
Does anyone know for sure? I feel like my speedo reads a few MPH high and my MPG is also slightly off.
