The 2 door chief rendering looks great. The proportions are much better than the 4 door Wagoneer Tahoe wannabe. CAFE regulatons are the reason vehicles have been getting larger the past 20 years in the North American auto market. If you believe all new vehicles having 4 doors is due to...
I have always loved the Brute. Wish I had kept my '05 TJR and had it converted when AEV still sold the kits. Wish Jeep would get off their A** and produce the J6 as it is a no brainer for an offroad pickup. I still have my '95 Chevy S10 ZR2 regular cab short bed that is similar in size to the...
Yes, I've been holding off buying the JT in hopes that Jeep would offer a regular cab or extended cab version with a minimum 6' bed. I cannot get past the disproportionate look of the crew cab JT and the bed length is just too short for what I'd use it for. I do not need my truck to transport...
My wife's 2014 JGC just starting doing this but only for the driver side front tire. All are set for the required 34 psi. But she constantly gets low tire warning and it freaks her out. Dealer isn't aware of a fix yet but I say it must be a software glitch. Gotta love technology.
It makes little sense to me to have the load on a trailer behind the axle. It seems to me that the trailer bed should be centered over the axle or the center of the bed slightly in front of the axle. Having a heavy load in the bed that is behind the axle will most likely cause the trailer to...
Do you even need a spare tire these days? Some Wranglers owners have been deleting there tailgate mounted spare for several years now. I'm not sure the thinking behind not having a spare though.
My wife is on her second GC after t-boning a '77 Oldsmobile at 55 mph that blasted through a stop sign at an intersection. Her '12 GC Laredo X was totaled but she walked away shaken but uninjured. She now has a '14 GC Limited that has been problem free except for the radio head unit that was...
Another interesting article from 2013.

Your outlook is interesting. My intentions for posting the article was not to blame anyone but to educate people who might unknowingly post false information. It is a common misconception that the smaller 2 door pickups went away because no one wanted to buy them.
My hope is that once...

Here's an interesting article from 2012 about what happened to the small and mid-sized 2 door trucks as well as the family sedans and station wagons if your interested in learning the truth. I to thought market demand dictated what "the big 3" offered consumers but its simply not the...
Many years ago my 3 year old cousin Jill was tragically killed when my uncles employee backed over her with his F250 while she was riding her tricycle in her driveway.
My uncle, who operated a construction business, sent his employee to retrieve a box of nails from my uncles garage. The...
