I here what you are saying Peter. I have held off on buying a Raptor for years, for those exact reasons (and because it was a Ford). The TRX is too much to resist though, and I plan on keeping what I consider to be the last of a dying breed for the rest of my life, before the era of the big V8...
Thanks for the replies everyone, both good and bad. I am into offroading, which some of you have questioned. I competed in desert racing off and on for thirty years, in several different motorcycle, ATV, and UTV classes, while also owning Jeeps for that entire time. I no long own dirt bikes...
I have enjoyed my JT Mojave, but always wanted more power than the 3.6 V6 delivered. For the past two months I have been researching either a Ram TRX or the 392 Rubicon. The price for a 392 Rubicon with the Recon package, and other options I wanted was the same as the price of a TRX with the...
My wife and I spent the day geode hunting in the desert today. We found literally dozens of geodes in this plain looking wash. Some were lying on the ground, and others had to be chipped out of the petrified aggregate mud that made up the walls of the wash, using a hammer and chisel. We took...
Average overall fuel mileage, with combined city and highway driving, for my Mojave with a 2.5" lift and 37s, but otherwise stock, over the last several thousand miles, is 14.8 mpg. This does not include towing. Towing even a small 900 lb. utility trailer with an 800 lb. ATV on it causes fuel...
I called them and told them I wanted the shock extension brackets and 1.5" rear spring spacers, so that is what they sent. I would suggest you call them to be sure you get what you want.
Our local dealership has a tag hanging from the mirror of each vehicle that has their "no haggle price" on it. On pickup trucks that price used to be about $11,000 off of MSRP. On Jeeps the price used to be $5000 to $6000 off of MSRP. When I bought my Gladiator for $53K (which was $6K off of...
I had a 392 in a 2013 AEV JK, and it is a marvelous engine in a Wrangler platform. So I had seriously thought of changing from my 2020 JT to a 2022 JL 392. I even specked out a JL 392, and talked to a dealer about what it would cost, how long it would take to be delivered, and what my JT was...
Seems like no one waves around here. Then, just last Friday, I come out of a doctors appointment, and see that my JT parked in the parking lot has been Ducked! The little rubber duckie was stuck inside my driver's side door handle. I read the tag on the duck that says "nice Jeep", and to pass...
