Thank you.

100% It was like these made into one:

Right?? The other day at a light I was beside a mint looking very old & British-style Land Rover that didn’t make a sound. It had been converted to fully electric, and I could see painted disc brakes etc., but I don’t think it was a tub / kit. Had me thinking maybe I could do similar for an old...

I heard a throaty engine coming down my street yesterday (highly unusual here) and looked out the window just in time to see a sweet, mint looking, purposefully dull red early 70s Commando with the cj-style grille and that classy sloping rear and, wearing a full black soft top and chrome dome...

I’m with you there. Guess I’ll look harder— these 30-35 ones also had 30-35k miles on em. But I’m in New England and jeeps are pricier.

There are decently equipped ones in my area (not stripper Sports) for $30k-$35k, and that's a big discount off buying a heavily-discounted $52k car (even if msrp is $65k-- nice grab, btw)-- call it a $20,000 gap. That's hard to overcome, at least from my side of the screen. I could buy the Jeep...

Thanks everyone. Great points about the “they’re 2018 wrangler parts”, and potentially warranty (vs others 36k miles already clearing the “if it was gonna break under warranty it would’ve happened by now”. Such a helpful group.

Right— and that’s what I’m wondering about. I never wanted to buy the first model year of any car regardless of make, but then the next couple years definitely would have subbed parts and time bombs as the supply chain race began, even if tweaks were made for first year design issues. But 45k vs...

Looking for opinions (with reasons) about whether or not the model year matters with the first generation Gladiator, as I start used Jeep shopping. I’m not sure I want a “covid Jeep” (ie, supply chain shortages) based on nothing whatsoever, but also don’t know if Jeep actually made improvements...

I view it as a stricter-than-necessary filter that might throw some babies out with the bathwater, and might totally ignore some others, but is more information than I'd otherwise have when buying a used car (dealers will sell anything now, it's not like the old days when used from a dealer...

I thought for SURE they were going to add the RTV sealant without telling you and say “we found a burr and filed it down” or similar, and it would be up to you to prove. Now the questions are how long the warranty is on your refurb transmission… and how the dealer service logs have been...

Their Instagram page has pics. I see a place for it, just not in a bed you use for hauling stuff: https://www.instagram.com/bedwood/

In the past, I've used a come-along plus block-and-tackle (pulley box), got my '88 Bronco out just fine. You can get both for very, very short money. Google around, there are some pretty clever mods for them. Sure it's not "pull the cord and hit the button", but they fit under the seat and you...

That’s what the Chevy Volt has done for many years: gas engine generator to recharge the battery.

I saw a Willy’s one and it was— for me— the first and only time the black grille made sense and looked good. Reminded me of the yellow sports car from the Herbie movies in a very good way. I’m still waiting for Bikini though.

This deep cut memory from 28 years ago came to mind.

Sigh…

When would the 2025 JTs be available for ordering and delivery? Was this year’s delayed (and disappointing) unveiling way off from normal being in September? I know the strike will change things, but it may also help reduce standing inventory so as to perhaps not encourage another delay next...

I’m with you, but I also think that’s what they want: same profit, fewer costs.

Thanks. I have a 2,000lbs (on trailer) sailboat which I can tow with my 4cyl Outback, and mainly need the convenience of an open bed for larger items which aren’t heavy. Everything I’ve read here (which is a lot) about the manual being a bad manual and the auto being a good auto, makes it hard...
