Great sounds like FUN!

Very nice choice. Just wondering why not a Mojave? That has special suspension for desert runs. But just how small is your boat? If it’s over 5,000 lbs, boat, motor and trailer, then you should be alright. Anything over and a Sport S with Max Tow would be better for towing. But welcome to the...

Wow what you’re dealing with really sucks! I would try and give Jeep more time seeing as there are so many and so few part if they wish to keep production going. I’m in no way trying to be flippant here, but please tell us exactly what oil and how often you change with what weight? I’m am about...

Ok with a small family you will want to bring along I highly suggest a Sport with Max Tow, or Sport S Max Tow if you want a few more creature comforts. For the main reason they are the only ones that have a 1,700 lbs payload! With 7,700 lbs tow cap. Of the Mojave will tow 6,000, but only around...

Well seeing as how you are looking lucky to be in Florida, where we have no dreaded inspections or other such nonsense. Just rip it all out delete, or as above they say to EOC?

Did you read the original post I commented on?

Yea a few diesels were fitted with a primer pump. That could be used to save the batteries from too much pain, to crank the engine and pump over.

Except fit and go through areas a Raptor can only dream, or leave paint in.

As a retired tractor trailer driver with 40 years experience including the military at 18. I was told years ago to keep a spare fuel filter and a couple quarts of ATF in the truck, along with the tools required to releave the fuel system of air if you run out with the knowledge needed to bleed...

Hello there! You sound knowledgeable enough, but I would highly suggest not going any bigger, maybe a double axle if you can find one at the under 5,000, 4,500 lbs sweet spot. Definitely get a good WDH, look st the Fastway E2, with 5,000 lbs bars, have the trailer dealer sell and install for...

Do you understand why it’s so critical you NEVER run a diesel out of fuel?

I did own both 2016 and 2019 Colorado and the 8 speed made a nice difference towing, plus off the line from a dead stop. When I posted not noticeable difference, ok I should have added for all the hot rodders out there driving Jeep like their not intended to be, while driving normally at legal...

I never mentioned overall diameter because that’s so obvious it makes little sense to mention, as anyone should know that. But ok for your sake of argument, everything else being equal, weight is the enemy, especially unsprung weight. The fact you can go bigger overall does matter with effect on...

I can honestly say I’ve never had this issue in any vehicle, since I read where in modern vehicles that have fumes/vapor recovery systems to prevent pollution, when you fill up it’s highly advisable you don’t “round up” after the nozzle cuts off, at most wait a while to add enough to round up...

Absolutely in a vehicle weight is the enemy with the biggest negative effect on performance and efficiency. Just stands to reason the wider the tire the heavier, the higher the weight rating the heavier. Unless you’re planning on rolling over some seriously knarly rocks, you don’t need anything...

Yea it’s amazing what a Hillbilly can do when his mind is not on, to control the fear! Now just imagine how that would handle at stock hight with tight shocks and nice road tires!

Having owned two Colorados, a 2016 Ext Cab 4x4, V6 Z71, I paid $33k for was trouble free plus towed a 4,000 lbs travel trailer all over the east coast and Texas Gulf Coast and Pigeon Forge areas. With a total of 69,000 miles. I got $25k for in trade on. The second was a 2019 Crew Cab 4x4, V6...

Absolutely weight is the enemy. The most weight with the same overall diameter tire, say a moderate 32” tire, the wider tire on the biggest wheel will weigh the most! That goes all the way up to a 40” tire. For overall performance and daily driving I suggest a 235/85-17, that’s 32.7”, that with...

Oh back in 1999 we were living year round on Martha’s Vineyard, at the time I had a 1995 YJ I bought new for under $13,000! As basic as possible with only fold and tumble rear seat, no power steering, radio, carpet, with half doors and zipper windows. The only mod was 265/75-15 Wrangler MT tires...
