I agree wholeheartedly with this. In my experience, the "sales" people at the dealership have added precisely zero value any time I've purchased a vehicle. In fact, they are destroying value to the business because I simply don't want to deal with that headache enough to buy a new vehicle as...

303 is good stuff, but I have to say vaseline works pretty well, too.....and it is cheap! That said, this is why I don't really like the black fenders. They look great when they are actually black but they can get pretty chalky pretty fast and then it is just another maintenance chore.

Great looking JT! But how do you sleep in a 5 foot bed?

Honestly, I think most of the major names make good ATs. I've had good service from KO2s and Yokohama Geolandar AT, personally. Never an issue in any weather or road condition I've encountered. Between those two, I'd give the nod to the Geolandars for quietness and to the KO2s off road but...

There is a lot here and I confess that I haven't read all of it, so this may be redundant. Having done the TT thing where I bought one that was right at my tow vehicle's limits and then deciding to buy a bigger truck to properly town the thing, I would strongly advocate for buying something...

Just my opinion but I think lots of people put waaaay too much stock in the "security" that locks and glass windows provide. They are nothing to stop a thief. All they need is a simple claw hammer. Frankly, the damage costs associated with broken windows and/or interior compartment locks is...

It should certainly help, especially if you make applying it part of your normal cleaning routine.

Having owned a TJ with half doors and a JKU with full doors, I can tell you that the difference in feel between them is huge. It may not look like a tremendous difference, but it is.. Half doors feel very very open and make for a perfect place to rest your arm. The full doors feel very...

I can tell you that the feeling of half doors without uppers on my TJ was way way way more open than the full doors with just the windows down in our JK and also was more comfortable than going totally doorless, as it left a nice comfy spot to rest my left arm. I loved the half doors on my TJ...

The only real "problem" with black fenders is what happens to them over the course of a few years if they see a lot of sun. They will fade and become something other than black fenders. You can spruce them up, but eventually they will get chalky almost no matter what you do and the product you...

What's the source of that 2:1? Stellantis info? If true, it's definitely interesting. The Mojave definitely has a lot to offer, but for me personally the taller low range transfer case ratio is a bit of a bummer, especially if a future build includes larger tires. Unrelated to the above, but...

Had something similar happen in a different vehicle. Turned out that a rodent had chewed through several wires. Display lit up like a christmas tree!

I had one of those! An '84 Dodge Colt with 13" wheels. It used 135/80 r 13 tires, which were about $35 each. That was my first car. It served me quite well!

Epic freaking video!!

I can't speak for the one in the video - only my own experience. Had ours down to the frame on one side and almost there on the other in a wet combination of mixed silt and fine decomposed granite (lake bed). Engaged crawl control at the second lowest speed and let it work its magic. I didn't...

I was wondering the same thing. On our Land Cruiser, beyond being a crazy noisemaker and very effective low speed off road "cruise control" over all sorts of terrain, it would dig the vehicle out of just about any traction-caused jam if you gave it enough time. I would imagine it would do the...

Our Toyota Land Cruiser had essentially the same thing, which they called "crawl control". Very cool feature of the crawling isn't all that technical/hardcore.

Now that is the way it should be done. Too bad it is the exception but I'm glad to hear of your experience.

Exactly. The model and process is the problem. The human behavior that process reinforces and thus motivates is a symptom of the problem that we each experience every time we go to buy a vehicle at a dealership. It is an antiquated process seemingly created to disadvantage the consumer at...

We have a 17 JKU that my daughter now drives as her daily driver and I will be passing my 2005 Ram 2500 to my son for his use when he turns 16 in a few months. My wife drives our Tesla Model S so I will be adding a JT around the time my son turns 16. My turn to get the new vehicle!
