TPMS sensors are among the biggest scams in the industry. In my experience (not for the Jeep): - buy new rims from a popular site such as tirerack and pay extra for manufacturer compatible TPMS sensors (supposedly the same ones the manufacturer uses), and dealer still doesn't guarantee...

LOL! Last time I did the cursing it was installing a brake controller under the JK dash. Next time, I'll remove the front seat entirely, no joke. But there probably won't be a next time :D

One feature in the JT I really love (and have "used" at least 3 times now) is the jeep won't let me lock the key fob inside it. This is the first rig I've ever owned that doesn't require a key to be in the ignition so I'm forgetting I put the fob in the cup holder (I'm trying to train myself to...

Based on your location (and even occasional trips to CO) I doubt you need it, even on a diesel. However if you've decided you do need or want it, I'd find out if the block heater option includes the heating element that the power cable plugs into, already installed in the block. If all you need...

I completely forgot about that one! Hadn't thought of that in about 40 years!

Maybe you need to make all the tunes "available offline". A while back Apple/iTunes changed things up so tunes were downloaded or streamed on demand instead of being copied onto the device. If that wasn't frustrating enough, the method to fix this had a clumsy UI. If I remember correctly you...

Reminds me of when my son was 4 and he points to the door and asks "What is that for?" - referring to the crank for the manual roll-up windows.

Grats on the new Gobi and great choice on the rim & tire swap, those look so good.

Right on. For those of us that tow but still want a somewhat more aggressive ride than stock, the 2 inch Mopar lift with 35s looks like a sweet spot. I'm still stock and will stay there until the tires wear out, but the main problem I've had is the same as when I had the JK: finding an...

That is a beast. What's parked next to it??

First time heated steering wheel owner. It gets hot. That's what it's supposed to do. When it gets too hot, I turn it off.

Comparing a full size truck with more hp and torque to mid size JT with 285/260, you WILL see and feel the difference. You can tow and haul with the JT but I wouldn't put it in the serious tow vehicle category. Pure fun, put a smile on your face, off road capability, highly versatile and light...

Looks so good, especially in that "golden hour" light.

In my experience regearing my 4.10 JK to 4.56 (thinking again, it may have been 4.88) didn't make a difference. It was still sluggish towing ~3,400 lb. The Pentastar has only so much to give. The only reason I can see for regearing is to accommodate larger diameter tires. There, I saw a...

For what it's worth I regeared a 4.10 JK to 4.56 (or maybe it was 4.88, can't remember) in hopes of getting better towing capability but I didn't notice any difference under towing load (about 3,400 lb). Cost at the time was $1600 for both axles. In retrospect it wasn't worth it. I figure the...

Ranger's a great truck.

First and favorite mod. One on each side. No decals will be placed above it.

I noticed at my usual gas station the nozzle doesn't fit all the way down into the filler neck. The tip hits a bend in the neck which prevents it from going farther in. Leaves a gap near the splash guard. I've done 3 fillups now and haven't had the splash problem but wondering if this is why...

Maybe due in part to how short a range 1st has. I like the short 1st for towing because it gets the load moving more easily when towing.

Perfect, thanks. That looks freaking GREAT! I plan to stay mostly stock but when my tires wear out, if I move up, I'm going with 35s and the Mopar 2 inch lift, especially after seeing these pics. Gotta love that view from your "office" too.....
