  1. Adaptive Cruise Control: yay or nay?

    was not sure at first. Now that I anticipate what it does before it does it, I find it 100% predictable. I hardly drive anywhere without it. I would not have the vehicle without it. I also found it behaves strikingly similar to my wife’s Cadillac. I strongly suspect this is licensed...
  2. Can You De-Modernize the JT?

    Ever notice that the companies that rebuild essentially better than new Scramblers always title with a CJ7 instead of a CJ8? The standards are not always based on age, but year. And the CJ8 is not and will never be “old” enough. You had to get before 74 I think it was. Now lots of states don’t...
  3. Alarm Issues Solved... [alarm keeps going off at night]

    wire Taps, no surprise. Had a similar issue with the Factory alarm. Started going off in the driveway. Found the spare fob, went out shut it off, then almost immediately went off again. Got in, started/stopped and again, damn thing starts honking. Then it occurred to me, where is my normal...
  4. Warn 10s in steel bumper with Warn Winch plate. Install notes.

    So much better with pictures! Nice job.
  5. Upcoming 3 day drive to OR, need tips and advice

    I’ve not run ko2, lots of people like them. The snowflake is better than not having the snowflake, but in the cold it really doesn’t mean they will be great. I have had snowflake tires that were really a disaster. Ice, glossy freezing rain is our kryptonite, not volume of snow and it really...
  6. Upcoming 3 day drive to OR, need tips and advice

    Sounds like a great trip. It’s been warm lately so we have really not had the cold and the snow. I’m actually dissappointed as I have been wanting to go have some snow fun. Plus the warm weather is eating my snow tires too much. oh...and that little front that moved in, surprised us with its...
  7. Dealer asking for FCA Control # to quote a factory build...?

    Exit stage left. Dealer stupid games. Salesman is trying to get you to a place where you are ready to sign. If he’s starting before step 1, imagine the BS he’s going to make you wade through before it’s over. I found LOTS is sleazy tactics at Jeep dealers, say maybe 80% of them. I’m...
  8. Enabling auto high beam

    My Rubicon was built Dec 19, delivered in January 20 and mine always worked. Between the heated seats, heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise and the auto headlights and high beams, I really enjoy my fluffy Jeep and Ive only had it at the mall once. Just turned 18K miles last week.
  9. Steering Box TSB Fix - What Results?

    Jury in. I’m almost laughing, no, I AM laughing at those who Actually advised others that this was simply how a live axle drove. Yeah, it’s better. A lot better.
  10. Steering Box TSB Fix - What Results?

    Just picked mine up. Drove one exit on the fwy, so jury is still out, but initial impressions are very positive. Did not detect any indecisiveness. Even passed a pedestrian on a side street and was not worried I was going to kill them, so that’s petty positive too. will do my normal 200 mile...
  11. Damaged Front Bumper Upon Arrival...Again...

    After having to replace all those damaged items, they will eventually figure out the stupid packaging is costing them their entire profit margin and hopefully wise up before they shut down. I get frustrated with this mentality, makes zero sense, but then lots of small companies underestimate...
  12. Bad Mileage with 33" Tires

    Dealer put on bigger tires and didn’t re-gear. No idea why it got worse, typically engines love the cold air, so that’s opposite of my experience and understanding. Small changes in vehicle orientation can have big changes in aerodynamics, but since it started as a brick and finished as a...
  13. Do you have (had) a CJ-8 Scrambler?

    I have part of it. I kept the roof and sold the rest to a guy who had another wrecked postal with more body damage.
  14. Auto Start/Stop issue?

    your battery is probably failing. Very common. Those thinking they don’t care about start/stop kind of missed the point. The failing batttery will eventually cause you problems whether You think you care about the start/stop or not.
  15. What tire chains are people running?

    If you can, get snow tires for a trip that long. They don’t really cost “extra” since you are not putting those Miles on your existing tires. The trouble is the up front cash and storing an extra set of tires until worn out. Chains are good for short distances. Not really ideal for a long...
  16. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Just got the call today to schedule my install. I contacted Jeep Cares last week. It’s pretty clear now that the dealership had dropped the ball and was never going to order the part for me, over three months since they said 5hey would. So far this dealer in Kirkland WA has been a complete...
  17. Installing Warn winch and winch plate in Gladiator steel bumper

    How did this turn out? Having just put my 10s in today, I can tell you that if they used the offside mounting holes, I really don’t think they could have possibly had the clearance to get the inside bumper nuts back on. When centered there is barely clearance to get a socket on it. Id get a...
  18. Warn 10s in steel bumper with Warn Winch plate. Install notes.

    Just some random thoughts before I mentally move on and forget. 1.) The Warn instructions are pretty minimal. In fact, there are none at all included for the winch plate, nor does Warn publish any on their website. 2.) I found the Northridge video to be the best for me. They move at a...
  19. Were you fortunate enough to grow up in the 80's?

    My wife and I watched Fast Times at Ridgemont High last night. Not a bad documentary. i Remembered the many Pat Benetars at school and turned up collars. There is that one memory. Ah... if only we could really go back.
