Well... the easy answer is because some people believe only deleted diesels should exist, and the OP lives in a state where some counties require emission testing.

Can we get a shot of it next to a bagel for size reference?

(goes for Jeep owners, too)

Need one of these: If it's not forgetting to unplug when leaving, it's not forgetting to plug in when arriving. What's the rule of thumb? 21 days to start a new habit?

I think it might be someone's first couple days on this new thing called the Internet. :LOL:

It was on sale this weekend, too. $10 off. I picked one up.

Loose connection or the typical software mess-ups. System might have to restart a few times. This is the stuff that annoys me when it doesn't work.

Or Grand Cherokee Texas Trail of Tears?

And the new door opening header, which aren't cheap. A little trim and paint and you're ready for the new door. Gotta be less than $10k, right? You still have two kidneys? :LOL: If I had a nice $ windfall, I'd change up my 3rd bay to have a door that opens with a wall mount and the rails go up...

Maybe the Final Inspector had to take a couple days off because they were sick? Union Christmas/Holiday party? It's a tangled web of processes that the public doesn't need to see. The customer can't penetrate the bureaucracy.

The tools for the phasers and tensioner - you can get by with whatever kit is on AMZN (they don't have the correct ones for the VVL engine that isn't $100+), but you will need the correct tensioner "T" (or "J") tool. I got an aluminum one. The phaser blocks you can shave down for clearance to...

So fully loaded, what's your "lift" come out to? Or are you at 3" fully loaded? I would go with a HD 2" or HD 2.5" rear spring setup first and see what that nets you. Rear springs are relatively inexpensive to test out. ICON has a 1.5" rear spring set for <$300. For reference: I have the ICON...

You are missing the very important "IF" I included in my first post. I know the JT is in the mid-size pick-up market and is competitive in all categories except power and MPG. It's the argument people want for increasing the JTs towing capacity - it will never happen. In doing so, the JT...

Like usual, your reading comprehension fails you. In 2024, 2.9m trucks were sold in the US. But MOST TRUCK BUYERS BUY TRUCKS NOT BECAUSE OF TRUCK CAPABILITIES. People think they want the stuff trucks can do, or plan on doing trucks stuff, but never do. There's a subset of SUV and truck buyers...

My points are related to the unlikely scenario that IF Jeep upped towing capability (8000#+), the truck would likely be bumped up to Class 2a trucks, which is full-size trucks, and *everything* gets compared, and the JT would be last in nearly all market-relevant attributes. Corporate build...

I'd venture that 90%+ of truck buyers give a f-all to off-road capability. The point is that the JT will lose on virtually every marketing point - the vehicle aspects that the majority of buyers want (or think that they want) - when up against a full-size competitor. The vast majority of...

Yeah, towing capacity won't change, too many downsides. A brick towing a brick is a multiplied mistake, not a divided one anyway. They can't change towing rates because of 2 reasons - cost of improved braking components and the likely reclassification of the Gladiator and losing all marketing...

Sorry. Nothing that would help. Just a worn intake camshaft and rockers. But I'm keeping that to mount as a trophy.

Nice! How do you like the hood struts? I've thought about it, but I'm short, so I don't feel like climbing on the bumper every time to close the hood. I suppose I could do the awkward side hood close.

Pull the taillight, stick a bladder/balloon up there and inflate, see if you can pop it out (heat it up to make it easier). Sand it a little and put a sticker over it. That's minor body damage. Major body damage usually entails something not closing or something not turning.
