Looking for local knowledge on access and reviews on this area. Wife and I are planning a trip out to the area and Redington Pass keeps popping up. Will be pulling a small/mid size camper with decent clearance. Thanks!

After I had the HPFP replaced I started using Hotshots additive. At roughly the same time I had my oil changed at the dealer and the knucklehead mechanic spilled oil all over the driver side engine compartment (That’s another frustrating story). Initially there was a distinct synthetic burning...

Whelp! Just like everyone here has described. Rattle Noise, power loss, dead. Pretty sure it’s the fuel pump. Left my wife and I on a sketch 2 lane road a mile from the house. Had AAA drop it off to the dealer. hope to find out what’s up this week. Mainly posting to document with @JeepCares ...

Looks interesting. Not o ton of info on the web. https://www.enginebuildermag.com/2023/05/twin-charged-3-0l-ecodiesel-engine/

Who says it doesn’t rain in Southern California… I‘ve been traversing several deep water crossings in my mall crawler lately. Trying to figure out what’s causing the incredible amounts of water that sheets onto my windshield; to the point that I cannot see anything in front of me. Truck is a...

Driving home this afternoon and suddenly the speakers started making noise. Every station, band, aux,and Bluetooth sounds like bad reception. I seem to recall a weird message on my dash when I started it saying something about Aux switches temporarily not working. No other issues. anyone have...

Anyone do a recalibrate on a diesel rubicon for 35s and tows? Is it worth it? What can I expect, if anything, to improve?

Took a 140mile round trip yesterday in the JTRD yesterday and nothing happened. No de-rating, no catastrophic oil leaks, no fuel pump implosions. Nothing But tons of torque. For reference, 2021 rubicon on 35s with roughly 18k on the clock. (sorry, I don’t mean to make light of those that are...

The wife and I just got back from a 2 night 3 day trip to Thomas Mountain In Mountain Center, CA. This may be my new favorite camp. Hauling Base Camp up the mountain was no problem for the JTRD II. The trail was easy. TY @1996XJ and @Matstock4 for your earlier posts On the area. Weather was...

Not sure if there is an issue with my ecodiesel. After towing, I back my truck and trailer down the drive way. The driveway is pretty steep. I sometimes park the truck partially inclined so I can unload the trailer. After unloading, when I start the truck back up to put the trailer away, oil...

I was out this weekend scouting camp sites on the north side of Palomar Mountain. I was with a buddy with a Tremor F250. Obviously a less, but impressively capable vehicle, I had to slow down because his wife was getting tossed around from the stiffer suspension. As we started our descent to...

Not a good combo. My youngest is learning and this Jeep platform is not the best. Wanders, touchy gas pedal in the 2.0, vague steering in the JT, always wanting to take her hand off the wheel to wave at other jeep 😬. Not very good for student drivers. Oh, and limited places to stick the magnetic...

Decided to take the top off an run Softopper safari style today. PSA: the corner tie down straps easily work themselves loose. Had to improvise. Otherwise relatively quiet. It also provides a little shade for the cab when the sun is low. The dog loves it too. Anyone else run their soft shell...

Wife and I decided last night to go. Leaving Friday mid day From San Diego Area.

This someone here? https://www.race-dezert.com/home/is-this-the-ultimate-jeep-gladiator-prerunner-233108.html

Heading out later today for a last minute bug out. Will be pulling a sm/med size off road camper. Any suggestions?

Been turning my Electronic Stability Control off everytime it get in the truck. I swear my mileage is up just over 1mpg (On the computer). No way, right?

Weather here is holding in the 70s and the rain looks like it’s mostly gone. Reached out to Ryan at Suntop. Says he has the Tan tops in stock. Not showing any better offerings yet (in black or Tan). Ive got a tan softopper over the bed and want the tops to look the same/similar. Everyone with...

Just cancelled. Hate dealing with these people. Watch them, shady.

I picked up the Terra Flex 1.5 kit this week in hopes to accomplish a few things. First reduce the awful bottoming out. And second maintain some rake because I often tow my custom off road camper. I decided on only using the 1” spacer and opted out of the 1” bump stop extension. Overall the...
