lol. I debadge most of my vehicles.

Used Wranglers and wrangler based vehicles have always been like that. A good deal on new often makes more sense. It's the only vehicle I’ve never bought used and I’ve had four. I often buy 1-2 yr old used.

I run premium in mine, but only to keep it running smooth with no pre-ignition. I only have 63k on my 2020, but I barely drive it anymore and around 60k miles it started needing 93 octane to run good. It’s probably carboned up, but I fill like once a month, and it runs great on 93, so I don’t care.

Mine and our other daily drivers live outside. We have a 1500 sq ft three car garage, but that’s where the classics, tools, and the golf cart go. It still looks almost brand new when it gets cleaned up good.

I’d never get a RAM 2500 unless I really needed it for daily heavy towing and hauling. They are massive, get horrible mpg (low teens), and they aren’t very comfortable to drive. They ride rough and don’t handle very well. Worse than the gladiator in both regards. I’ve driven a ton of them for...

Mazda R3? Whats that?

Then go get a grenadier. They have an amazing drivetrain too. The venerable, very tough, B58 and a real ZF 8 speed.

It’s correct, but the majority of dealerships do the right thing. There are a lot of bad dealerships out there though.

I had an OEM trifold that I had to take off for loads of dirt, gravel, etc and tall large items. I got tired of taking it off so I got a blakflip MX4 since it folds up like a headache rack. I’d never take one on and off without good reason. It gets old fast.

Another recall dodged on my 2020. I only had one when it was new. Something with the back up camera coming on too slowly and they fixed it during a free oil change while I had a loaner car.

Yeah, they run hot no matter what you do. Good thing you didn’t blow it. The only engine I ever lost new under warranty. They were really hit or miss as far as reliability goes.

That’s cool that you can weld. My girlfriend can TIG aluminum like a boss. It’s an oddly attractive trait in a woman. lol.

Ride is so subjective. I like the ride of my Jeep so much better on the Bilstein 5100s than the Fox Rubicon shocks or the awful stock Overland suspension it first had. BUT, I drive mainly European cars and love their firm ride and cannot stand a floaty, uncontrolled ride. My Overland floated...

That’s not really want I said, but if that’s what you take from it then by all means.

Exactly. Just like the cyber truck, PT Cruiser, etc . The first ones will go for a lot of money to early adopters and the rest will rot on dealer lots. But they’ll still over produce them and give huge incentives to move them, maybe even lower the MSRP, and they won’t even have good resale value.

The Amigo was awesome. I always wanted one. That’s not the insult you act like it is.

I just can’t. They have five more planned for our county. We all fight it, but it still happens. Everyone is too bought. One of them in the national news for illegally tapping and stealing 30 million gallons of water while we are going through another major drought.

I said Gladiators are over produced.

That’s not entirely true. The real problem is Jeep doing what all American brands do. Just keep building beyond the demand and pushing inventory on dealerships who have to put huge discounts on them to sell them. They also really screwed a lot of people when they raised the msrp through the roof...

Starting way back in 2008, when internet sales was in its infancy, I ran internet departments of a lot of dealerships over the years. I hate a lot of things about the auto industry so I went to it when it became an option because I love the transparency. I’ve been out of the biz for several...
