While I'm certainly no expert, I've been around Jeeps and 4x4s since I was a kid in the '70s. Here are some points:
- Get some wheeling buddies. It's always better to have someone along in case disaster strikes. Spotters are also very helpful.
- Always carry your essential gear. Fire...
Pretty sure that's Laura Dern in the last picture. Cool that they're bringing her back into the saga.
Funny, every Jeep person I know hates those "angry" grills, but I see them all over the place. Likely, the company that makes those grills paid for a product placement and that's why they're...
I would highly recommend getting a very good, portable compressor. You can find a lot of cheap tire inflaters that plug into a cigarette lighter. Unfortunately, those won't last. And the last thing you want is for your compressor to start belching fire when you need to air up for pavement.

Just to verify, you are aware the visor slides out, correct? If the visor is anything other than pushed/slid all the way the in, it will not clear the rear view mirror.
I bought my JT in December. I kept the seeing the same two Gladiators around town and nothing more. Then the Pandemic incentives hit. Now I'm seeing Gladiators all the over the place in Colorado.
Strange that the Ranger sales are so much higher. Maybe it doesn't apply in Colorado. I'm starting to see Gladiators all over the place. I've seen exactly two new Rangers in the wild.
I was at a neighborhood BBQ a few weeks ago. One of the moms said to me , "My kids just LOVE your truck...
That's the ridiculous, chrome muffler a lot of Asian car owners bolt onto their cars. It makes the car sound like a never ending fart. Somehow, these guys think it's cool. Many believe it makes their car faster. They are sadly mistaken.
No rebuilding an engine with a rod protruding from from it. That short block is now scrap metal. Nothing will be reusable. Crank, pistons, and connecting rods are all shot after that kind of trauma. Likely the dealer will receive a new short block from Jeep onto which they bolt on the factory...
Yeah, sign up and hang out.

My friend Kelly just shared some pictures which I think you will like. She gave me a ride in her fastback a few years ago after I helped her adjust the valves. Her and her car have been featured in multiple magazines and the Wall...
I had the same experience in the Mustang world. I'm a member of a Vintage Mustang forum where everyone is great; genuinely helpful cheerful. So I tried the Vintage Mustang Facebook page. Whoa, what a bunch of Delta Bravos! Non-stop ignorant people posting incorrect information. And that's when...
That's a good point. I never thought about it because here at 6,000 feet above sea level, 85 octane is "Regular" gasoline. I've never had any problems with knocking or pinging. But I really should just pony up a few extra cents per gallon for the 89 octane.
