  1. How much extra cost when a dealer gets a jeep from another dealer.

    I bought a Jeep at my local dealer in Washington, did a few mods, then shipped it to Hawaii. I have had the recalls done in Hawaii. Both dealerships treat me great. The service writers in Hilo, Hawaii are just outstanding, the dealer in Washington still helps out when needed, and he let me...
  2. Lets See Your Other Rides!!

    Had and have a few.
  3. Why YouTubers lie to you about V8's

    I agree with the sentiments said before me. Not a fan of social media of any type, here in my cave. No Facebook page for me-I am a grown up! Want to know what I've been doing? Call me. BUT...When I needed to learn how to remove and replace the coil overs and plugs under the intake manifold...
  4. 💭 Tinted or Standard Taillights?

    Standard, for those of us following! Tinted is blocking the signals/brake lights, night running lights. How many dummies are not paying attention on the road already and dimming the indicators does not help wake them up. "We know lighting is all about personal style + function" you state...
  5. OK, need some help on ESS

    My answer: Autostop Eliminator. Then I removed the aux batt permanently (who wants to keep diving into its hiding spot?). I did not remove the Aux batt cables, just attached them to the main batt. No problems what-so-ever in the last 3 years. Simple.
  6. Was in bumper to bumper and a Camry pulled up next to me and hit me with this:

    You were two minutes slow. i knew this one in 7th grade!
  7. Is manual better than 8 speed auto?

    I wouldn't be able to say it much better. And I add: -This engine tranny combo does a poor job of holding back downhill. Going down a steep hill at 3500 rpm in 2nd just for some hold back is disconcerting. I bought a manual to get compression hold back and it doesn't do it well. -The 1 and 2...
  8. Stupid is as stupid does,...

    I've done the same thing. One go my magnetic shop lights rode to Ace Hardware and back with me. 😂 I've had to do what aircraft mechanics do and do a check after working on the Jeep to see that all tools are where they should be. No question...my garage needs a whole QA Department!
  9. Using JScan to disable ESS (Auto Start Stop) Requires disconnecting the Hood Ajar switch? Anyone done this?

    I have the Stop Start Eliminator, $99. Better solution than mucking about disconnecting hood warning devices and it works great.
  10. Older Guy Doing Research, With Questions

    Thumbs up! I had '65 Barracuda, slant six, offenhauser manifold, Carter 4 bbl carb, three on the tree. Great car, indestructible. Sold it with 279,000 ish miles on it. Had to tell that story! Since I am here, I bought a Sport S. Well featured and without features I did not need. I'm 70...
  11. It's a FLASHBACK from the 1970's 😵‍💫

    Shall we try an Eddie Bauer edition...
  12. The 3.6 Tick Bites Trail Recon at 31,000 Miles

    I think I mentioned this before....I do NOT run the start/stop. I think it is stupid. They did also put a much heavier duty starter on these things, so if you are not using start/stop, you will likely never ever replace the starter. You might not have to anyway, but this guarantees it. I use a...
  13. Jeep Gladiator Dark Sky Announced

    Looks remarkably like my Sport S. Same wheels, body colored fenders, and I like my plain hood much better. Special edition...not so much.
  14. Confused - Need Help Deciding on JScan, Tazer or Other

    I have used JScan to change from halogen to LED lighting in my Sport S. Easy. I bought the extension wiring to make it easier to use the next time I want to make a change. I bought the Auto Stop Start Eliminator for $99. It remembers the last selection I made on the dash switch. Insert it...
  15. Warranty Denied Due to Modifications

    Cadillac did the same thing to me. Defective manual tranny under warrantee. Dealership said it was my fault the Tremec 6-speed failed, yet it is supposed to be bullet proof, a racing transmission. They entered their lies into the records and there was nowhere I could go that the info wasn't...
  16. Oil Change at 5,000

    Don't worry about that, I did not notice that was his vehicle either and I appreciated the filter comments made for the 3.6.
  17. Do you all think quality has gone DOWN?

    If only we could find out what day our Jeep went down the assembly line. We used to say "get a Wednesday vehicle". Why? Well, a Monday vehicle was made the day after a party weekend, workers not up to snuff. Tuesday, follows monday too close. Thursday the workers are already thinking...
  18. Oil Change at 5,000

    My first change at 1500 miles then my interval will be 5,000. I use K & N filters. May not be true now but used to be that OEM filters were cheap junk, even though the OEM raves that we should use them . Would like to hear more on filter quality if somebody else knows better than I.
  19. Bolt Hood Lock Kit... Seriously??

    Not to mention needing access after freezing rain or slush! Ever try that door keyway when it is frozen? I used the rubber cover.
