Hoping you hauled A to the nearest place to get a lottery ticket because your karma is hot!

I simply find the gears on my manual after 1-2 are too tall. I can't keep 55 on mild grades uphill in 5th at all on the highway. I also find engine compression braking/holdback on the manual JT stinks. 3rd gear doesn't hold back at all downhill and really, 2nd doesn't either, the revs just...

UGLY! Looks like it ought to be with the rest of the catfish sucking mud in the Mississippi. Besides the hideous hood, nothing special. Hybrids? Somebody else can have mine.

I leave my Jeep a carport. The big Jeep letters were just too much advertising that a new Jeep was in there. Because the letters have two holes behind I bought some Gladiator helmets and smaller Jeep lettering and "quieted down" the tailgate yet looking a bit customized. I prefer the less...

Hey Bill, You aren't the only one that ever drove a stick! Been doin' it since my 65 Barracuda with a three on the tree. How about you? Think some about your comments. 700 rpm with a carb on the high idle cam is different than 1000 rpm with EFI.

Yes, and it is very irritating in a manual shift!

Look Rivian! I like it and would love to have the finished product!

I am a fan of ZDDPplus additive. Restores the zinc compounds that USED TO BE in diesel engine oils. Problem is that it can clog catalytic converters with zinc on loose engines. I use it in my dual diesel boat, my 1958 Cadillac, and my gas powered 383 stroker 1994 Suburban that has headers and...

You should have seen the goat accelerate! Though I was going 50 he somehow got knocked out ahead of me after wrapping around that tire. I bet it threw him ahead by the horns. Ruined tire that I can't get anymore. so my spare is now my main and the spare is same size but different brand...

Last year I ran into a goat at 50mph here in Hawaii. His horns ripped out the sidewall on a stout 33 tire. Yes, I had to change. Carry a spare? Yup, you never know!

I have not read the full thread but I want to remind everyone who leaves a vehicle outside to screen the engine air inlet. Here in Hawaii I have had critters go into the inlet and shred the MAF sensor and even though my air cleaners have metal screen inside for strength they shredded the fabric...

Sport S with a manual tranny, override on start stop: I just plain removed the aux battery. My JT will be stored for 6 months of the year with the batteries pulled. I do not need to keep going in for the aux batt every six months. The terminals for the aux bat are now connected to the main...

I wasn't looking down in size, I was looking up. Left my 2002 GMC Sonoma crew cab for the JT. Ten 33 gallon garbage bags instead of six. Better cab size and still gets down the yard without rubbing on the trees. Full size won't cut it. Better yet: stick shift and MANUAL transfer case...

I noted drain holes installed in the tailgate like every other pickup I have owned. I clean the drains there as well on the passenger doors in all my current vehicles; 90 Dakota Convertible, 94 GMC Suburban, 01 GMC Sonoma, 02 Tahoe, 04 Cad CTS. that is why they last... Not an engineer, but...

I asked earlier what the deal was with the holes in the bed by the tie downs. I'll plug them. Thanks to those who answered up! What in the wide world of sports is the 1 1/2" x 3" hole in the bottom of the tailgate about? One tiny cable to the lock, camera, and taillight doesn't need that...

Dumbest hole left unfilled by Jeep yet! I thought I didn't like the bed holes by the tie downs. Carry gravel, grass clippings you will get your load into the tailgate. How you gonna get that stuff out? If it is steel then rust, if it is aluminum get corrosion. And, I have no use for mice...

Thanks, I appreciate the response. Sounds like a bit of old bed mat and glue from the back side. I asked my dealer and they sent pictures of the same thing.

Thanks, I thought so. They also forgot the locking wheel nuts on the build sheet. Sigh.

Why are there holes low in the bedside forward and aft in my Sport S? Water and road crud comes right into the bed from the rear tires. I guess I Have to figure out some plug or mudflaps to prevent this. Maybe there is a CarPlug to install? Maybe Jeep forgot to install plugs? No other...

I think I will just stick to pin striping to make my stingray truck personal.
