One of the big hard shell Yetis was given to me by my wife for Father's Day quite a while back. I won the real big one at a drawing at an archery tournament. My wife bought the soft one with a zipper for going to the pool and it does fine for that. Most all of the tumbler/thermos style Yetis...

I don't have a fridge, although I'd like to have one, just not sure with my time and commitments I could justify long enough trips for one. On the other hand I have NEVER had much luck with coolers. I have 3 Yetis - a big one, a bigger one and the medium size one that's like a bag with a zipper...

I guess my ignorance is my bliss. An all analog dash just gives me the warm and fuzzies now. Granted a JK probably has more electronics behind the scenes than I want but no stop/start or dual battery thing to give me more heart burn.

Maybe on topic or maybe slightly off and 100% the reason I was looking for a 2017-2018 JK. I had a Chevy less than 2 years old, still under warranty, low mileage and every bell and whistle available. I developed some kind of electrical gremlin kinda like you. Two different Chevy dealerships and...

I had 4 or 5 Wranglers before the Gladiator came out. However, I always had a Wrangler and a full size truck at the same time. For a while Wranglers only had 2 doors and we had two kids in car seats. I've never been a big "hauler" but I pulled a big bass boat. For hunting I used to put my ATV...

I did not know that. I think I assumed they just used the first part of the 2018 model year to use up old JK parts and then started churning out JLs.

The only caveat I can think of was he said it was in 2019 and the 2018 had only been out about a year. I guess they could've bought the 2018 in say Sept of 2017 and drove it a year and a half to two years old, but that's still more miles than I can fathom per day. One hole in my theory was I...

I have an '04 Rubicon that I handed down to my son and it's super simple with a 4.0 and as long as we take care of it I'm hoping to play with it for much longer. One of the headscratchers I had was him putting the 3.8 above the 3.6. I kept a TJ and refused to get the 3.8. I even waited to see...

I had an '04 Rubicon TJ from late Jan '04 until I gave it to my son Apr '22 and he's still driving it and no windshield cracks. I bought a Gladiator in Apr '22 and everything they had on the lot new and used had a cracked windshield but one or two. Not sure about their Wranglers. They obviously...

I'm not real sure on fitment between brands and bumpers just that the Badlands fits the RC stubby.

I think the only differences between the two is the Apex has a wireless remote and synthetic line. They're both 12k# so I don't know about any differences in size. The Apex may have more plastic name plating or aesthetics possibly, but side by side the only difference I see is one has an extra...

If you are in the Inside Track Club with Harbor Freight ($29.99/year) you can get the 12k# winch with wire rope for $299 until 2/2/23. You can get their Amsteel rope separately for $60. When you first look to re-wrap with the synthetic you'll think "uh oh this don't fit." There are a couple of...

I pretty much agree with the sentiments in this thread, especially if your Jeep is also a daily driver. I bought an '04 Rubicon brand new back in the day and passed it down to my son back in March '22. For the type wheeling I do in middle TN I really can't ever remember disconnecting my sway bar...

Ditto, I picked my new Wrangler up Sept 2nd with GG and by Oct I have two chip "stars" that look like they have the makings to crack and spread once our southern weather starts getting colder and I use the defrost. For the life of me I can't remember a single incident where I heard a rock or...

LOL! I'm kinda like you. I also ride Harleys and the Harley wave kinda morphed into a wave at all bikes thing. If I'm on my bike by myself going somewhere and I pass a big group ride, each rider acts like I need to give them an individual wave. Usually what happens with me in the Jeep is I'll...

Wanna talk love/hate? My tastes have always been niche type vehicles - I had 4 Chevy Avalanches. Now THAT'S a vehicle you either love or hate. They quit making them now but I do a lot of kayak bass tournaments and you can let the midgate down and put a 14' Hobie PA in the back with very little...

I found myself a Gladiator a bit ago. I joined here in Feb or Mar complaining about what a local dealer was doing to me. I wanted a stick with electric windows and hardtop. Believe it or not that’s apparently not a combo commonly ordered. I own a CPA firm and one of my clients is a CDRJ Dealer...

I agree on Carfax - I don’t trust when it says nothing wrong but when it says a lot IS, there’s no telling what else isn’t on there. My parents actually divorced when I was 7 in 1978. In a 7 month period I’ve buried my Dads wife of 30 years, my Mom, funeral for Dad is Sunday and all I have left...

I had some funeral stuff to take care of and we go at 9AM to meet and finalize services. I really didn’t feel like going home after leaving the hospital so I went ahead and looked at the Jeep. It was a one owner and I asked if it came from up north but it was from FL. I casually made a comment...

I literally lost my Mom a few months ago and lost my Dad today on what would’ve been Moms bday.
