  1. Clean and ready for warmer weather!

    Thank you. I bought this one back in 2017 and it was a dump. The list of things I did to it is very extensive. It is a 2.5L 4 cylinder but it packs a punch after some modifications. Headers and full exhaust, new sensors, distributor (old one kept giving a CEL), 4.0 Throttle Body, 19lbs., Ford 4...
  2. Clean and ready for warmer weather!

    It had been a year since we washed our YJ. So we washed it, cleaned it inside and took it for a ride. Tons of smiles. Tomorrow is the Gladiator's turn.
  3. swap out 37 inch tires for a better ride

    I don't know man, I wouldn't be changing out tires until you narrow it down to the tires. I'm thinking you have a geometry problem. Caster will be off with that amount of lift without geo brackets or longer LCAs.

    Calm down Alaskan!! ;) It has gone down to minus 27 for this area but the coldest I've experienced was 3 or 4 years ago at minus 9, wind chill had down even more. Too windy up here.

    Winters where I'm at get very cold. Went down to 1 degree last January and staid below freezing for almost two weeks straight. 🥶

    That's way north by Colorado. How is the area? Forest or desert?

    Ah ok. Wow! Move to NM!!
  8. Tariffs & new tires, total US manufactured tires.

    That's pretty steep. Must be in a very nice neighborhood.

    I forgot to mention the two detached garages. One is 480 Sq ft and the other my shop, 600 Sq ft.
  10. Tariffs & new tires, total US manufactured tires.

    Not too bad. It's a big house. Ours is a custom cabin a little over 1,100 Sq. Ft., with a detached 400 Sq. Ft. Guest cabin. Out here the construction cost per Sq. Ft. is pretty steep approaching $350 average per Sq Ft.

    Ouch!! That's a lot. Sorry.

    I've been very happy with the Kanati Trail Hogs. Pretty quiet too.

    I retired at 52 almost 2 years ago next month. Loving it. Even with a $110k pay cut. 😭
  14. Tariffs & new tires, total US manufactured tires.

    Property taxes in NM are dirt cheap. We pay around $1,700 a year for our house, guest cabin and two 6 acre lots we purchased adjacent to our main house lot. 18 acres total. Last year I found out that when I turn 65 (11 years from now) I have another pension kicking in (very small) from when I...

    You might be able to re-tire but you can only buy one tire. Possibly a 35" Kanati with $200. ;)
  16. Tariffs & new tires, total US manufactured tires.

    We have a combination of assets which brings our net worth into the 7 figures. I guess, careful planning, discipline and a sprinkle of good luck helps. We feel blessed that our main house and cabin rental are paid off. Right now, we are being conservative with our spending since we are only...

    Did you panic and sell? If not, just hang tight. You haven't lost anything. You have the same amount of shares/stocks. Now you can buy on sale. When it goes back up you will be good since the cheaper stocks purchased during the downturn will perform better than the ones that lost value. My...
  18. 4xe Gladiator Hybrid (PHEV) Confirmed by Jeep CEO for 2025! ⚡️

    Non 4xe models have 4-5% less depreciation. 5% of $50k is $2,500 more at resale. I guess you make that up with fuel savings on 4xe.
  19. 4xe Gladiator Hybrid (PHEV) Confirmed by Jeep CEO for 2025! ⚡️

    Well, until they release the 4Xe specs, it is a guessing game as far as towing capacity. I imagine heat management will be an issue. The other issue I see, not necessarily related to the truck performance is the resale value. I've seen 4xe Grand Cherokees on Carvana and Carmax and their resale...
