Thanks again. I'm still confused about 7" vs 9" (??).

Thank you. I will take a look at those. I've seen reviews stating the Oracle headlights actually do require wire splicing to install. Is this no longer the case?

Thanks. I did look at the Oracle headlights and I'm not really a fan. Nothing wrong with them. Just not my thing.

Thanks. That link for the KC headlights is for 7-inch. Is that correct, or are the factory lights actually 9"? Sorry for the confusion, but based on my experience, actually measuring such things isn't always helpful. I can get an accurate measurement of something which often doesn't match the...

Thanks for the input. Yeah, based on everything I've read and heard, replacing the lamps with LED lamps is not a good option. Many of them flicker and none of them provide a good pattern. What really puzzles me is just how useless the factory headlights are. I have a 1970 Mustang Mach 1. I...

I could use some help with a headlight upgrade. I have a 2020 Gladiator Sport S with Max Tow. I really like it, but sheesh, the headlights are like something stolen from a '42 Hudson. I was in a somewhat remote area after dark recently and I couldn't even tell the difference between the...

Well, that's nice that you're cousin in hooking you up. No intent of being a troll. Manufacturers allocate high demand vehicles based on incentives. For example, if a dealer wants more than the typical allotment of V8 Wranglers, they must move a specific number of vehicles which are hard to...

Of course he's going to say that. It's helps to justify the markup they're going to slap onto the MSRP.

I got rear-ended last February. It was a Nissan Altima. She barely bent my hitch and scuffed the bumper. (Her Nissan was MUNCHED!) Shop said they had to replace the entire hitch. I said, "Cool. Just put the old hitch in the bed when you remove it." Of course, this baffled them. My truck sat...

While are correct about the diesel having gobs of torque, its towing capacity is less than the gasoline JT with Max Tow.

Competing with the new Bronco is a primary objective for the V8 Wrangler. So it wouldn't make sense to make it a limited production model. In that scenario, people would show up at the dealer to buy a V8 Jeep and the dealer would have to say, "Oh, those aren't available. But take a look at our...

And if you wait for a used V8 Jeep, you'll pay $3,000 below new MSRP with 250,000 miles on it. (That's the way it is in Colorado Springs, anyway. I saw a story on the local news last week that said the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited had the lowest depreciation of ANY vehicle! The Jeep Wrangler 2-door...

Diesel Pluses: - Gobs O Torque - Better MPG* - Cool. Very cool Diesel Negatives: - Higher initial cost - Diesel fuel cost is typically more per gallon than regular gasoline (although not lately) - Smaller fuel tank to make room for diesel fluid tank - Higher maintenance costs - Questionable...

I suppose it's speculation, but based on what dealers have been doing for many years, no matter what price FCA puts on a V8 Jeep, we can expect dealers to slap on an extra $10,000 or more due to "Limited Availability". We can also expect at least some dealers to bolt on another $15,000 in...

I suppose it depends on your attitude and skills. Rick Pewe has done the Rubicon trail in old flat-fenders with 3-speed manuals. I recently saw some pictures of Ford guys taking the new Bronco on the Rubicon trail and it got beat up pretty good.

I'm sure FCA does indeed stock replacement engines. The problem is getting one of those engines to the dealer and that's where COVID comes in. Shipping is currently a crapshoot.

Sorry, man. That really sucks. Manufacturing errors like that do happen. Despite quality control, sometimes things just haywire. It would be hard to gather statistics since manufacturers don't share such information. But dollars to doughnuts, owners of every brand of vehicle have experienced...

You have every right to be annoyed. I would have been annoyed. But I know things like that happen anywhere; to include dealerships.

I don't think it's weird. My point is stuff like happens at any shop these days.

It's avoidable, but stuff happens. Dollars to doughnuts, stuff has happened at Costco as well.
