  1. those that upgraded their over head bar speakers

    Probably smart haha. But FYI, if you listen to edm or rap, don't go smaller than 12", especially for home theater subs. If you listen to more rock/country/metal, 2 8s or a nice 10 will sound better. - Smaller = tighter/punchier/more response (8s/10s) - Bigger = deeper/boomier/less response...
  2. Built my jeep the way I wanted it, now i want it back to stock. Has anyone ever gone through it?

    If it makes you feel better, I thought I wanted all those cool long arms and beadlocks, bar doors and lights. Sure they look cool, and you get bragging rights, but then I thought about it, and my OTHER goals. Those mods would add well over $15k into a vehicle that, I honestly would probably...
  3. those that upgraded their over head bar speakers

    That's the plan for the JT, 10" L7T under the rear seat on passenger side. Wanted a 12" but also want down firing for better reverb off the body, and the 12" won't fit without making a LARGER custom storage bin. Also with the L7 being square you gain about 15-20% cone area vs a round cone, so a...
  4. The 10 harsh truths Jeep didn't come out with a V8 Jeep gladiator.

    The reasons so far in this thread are more valid than most of that video. It's also the same reason why they stopped offering the Gladiator with a manual transmission, not that people didn't buy them, they didn't make up enough of the sales to be worth it to investors, regardless if they still...
  5. those that upgraded their over head bar speakers

    The speaker themselves are not any different. This has been discussed and proven a couple times between this forum and the wrangler forums. The soundbar design changed, you can notice this when you look at the lights before/after MY2024. They may have changed wiring a bit too since the front...
  6. MT Baja Boss A/T - Is the heavier weight that big of a deal?

    You need to also factor skinny vs wide tires. You have the "wide" version, while I'm looking at the "skinny" version (255/85R17) which will weight less (about 2lbs less each) and is an additional 1" taller (0.5" lift at axle, for you, 1" lift for me). Just depends on where you off-road and...
  7. Goldilocks color option sighted

    I'll put $20 on someone in the deep south buying one, slamming it on 24s, 3000w of bass, 500w of treble, no mids, flashing lights and gold wheels on 6" spacers with that SWANG...by the end of the year.
  8. Does Jeep purposely design their vehicles to get 19 mpg?

    The only reason they do is they can keep the rpms lower at any given time via more gear selection. That's it! I mean, hell, even the Bronco offers a 7-speed manual vs a 6-speed for this exact reason. If you ever wondered why so many cars use a CVT now, same exact reason. Definitely not because...
  9. Ever been towed?

    These are the idiots raising our insurance rates and giving Jeep owners a bad name.
  10. 0w 20 or 5w 30

    The ONLY 3 reasons 5w-30 isn't recommended in these engine are: - Dealer CAN claim wrong oil used and void warranty (not WILL, CAN). - The phasers/etc may not have the oil clearances designed for thicker oil and could cause it to shear must faster causing faster breakdown of the oil. (If you...
  11. Auxiliary Water Tank made from PVC fence posts

    Those posts are NOT rated for ANY pressure FYI. PVC pipe IS rated for between 40 and 80 psi (depending which type of PVC you get). ABS requires "fusing" unlike PVC. ABS is "cleaner" for short term storage vs PVC, but much more expensive. Was looking into doing something similar, but under the...
  12. Starting a 6.4 Hemi swap

    Sounds like the bearings in the SC are GONE, a long time ago gone. The TRD SC has a similar issue, even though it was built by Vortech, the design was by Toyota, and the bearing design killed the SC the same way. I've never been a fan of SCing engines that don't need it for their intended...
  13. Does Jeep purposely design their vehicles to get 19 mpg?

    They stopped offering the manual transmission for the MY2025. MY2024 was the last year you could order any trim with a manual, if the dealer was willing to put in the order (many dealers only wanted to sell what they had on the lot during The Vid). Also, the ONLY time the 8-speed auto is BETTER...
  14. Does Jeep purposely design their vehicles to get 19 mpg?

    Yeah, try a couple days of using 4th instead and updates us, or me via PM. When I switch to 255/85R17 (from 255/75R17 stock MT size) I expect to drop 1-2mpg all around. But I plan to re-gear to 4.56 after which should restore my mpg 1-2mpg on average. Might need to re-gear in the future if you...
  15. Ok, so here's a stupid topic!

    I think Tesla could be a great vehicle, if they didn't make them more robot than automobile. They're a cool novelty in society, that's why an entire state, within 30 days, went from "Buy an EV to help the grid" to "STOP CHARGING YOUR EVs THE GRID CAN'T HANDLE ALL THE POWER". They're NOT...
  16. anyone use Liqui Moly 5w30 in their 6?

    I just wouldn't run SuperTech in anything I care about that still has an OEM warranty. Again, personal preference. Some swear by it. I DO use their motorcycle oil in my Chonda (Hawk DLX) but it's designed to be abused in terms of maintenance, no really...it's a clone of a 125 honda built for...
  17. Chinese JT?

    Ok some of those look pretty decent. And tbh they look more like Defender 110 rip offs. Someone get one and do a review! Only thing I honestly would concern myself with those trucks is parts availability. If that isn't an issue, no different than a Kei truck, but more functional.
  18. anyone installed outdoor speakers in their jeep ?

    You can't just "add speakers" sadly as the factory radio "looks for" a specific impedance (ohm rating) of the circuit. PAC had to redesign their OEM integration unit because of this (hence the R.2 version). As Bandit said, you'd need an amp, a integration module (some lower cost units work, but...
  19. Ever been towed?

    Time for an upgraded unit not DESIGNED to fail.
  20. do these trucks break down a lot?

    Waterpumps generally should be replaced every 100k miles along with belts and thermostat. "Preventative maintenance". But I'm sure you already know this :P
