In the category of “advanced technology” can I get a smaller key fob?

If you were looking for a galley the Hiker was definitely the right choice. Outbound is pretty basic. It’s their standard red. I’m color blind, though, so it looks spot on to me!

I bought an Outbound in late October and I’m waiting for some nicer weather to use it. It’s parked in the garage right now and has turned into the kids clubhouse. Outbounds are a lot like a Hiker. They are very bare bones, but you can finish them how you like. Also, they’re inexpensive...

Yes, I’m pretty sure I had that code pop up this past winter. I did the same the first time - cleared code and drove it another week or so. The code came up again so I had the dealership fix it. I think it was the evap system purge valve solenoid. It was a $25 part and they fixed it under...

I bought and installed one about a month ago. I open it every chance I get. It’s nice to have when I’m waiting in line to pick up my kids from school. I pull it closed when I’m waiting to keep from getting sunburned and throw it open as soon as the line starts to move. I only have two...

I have a home brew unistrut system based on the one found on this forum. I have a cheap trifold and the mounts near the cab were okay. For the latches near the tailgate I’m using galvanized screen door handles mounted in the rail. They double as a handy anchor point too. I don’t know if this...

I sometimes joke that it is practical because it’s so impractical. It’s a truck, a Jeep, and a convertible mashup. I don’t need a truck 100% of the time, I don’t need a convertible but I enjoy them, and Nebraska doesn’t really require a serious off roader except for a handful of days in the...

when I go through the car wash the drying fan at the end (not the brushes) pops mine open about 80% of the time. I kind of want one of those fans.

You can talk to the guy at 4:10 in this video. I watched another video of wranglers being made and a guy was pressing them onto the side of the Jeep so hard It looked like he was leaving a dent.

I bought a JL Willys plastic bumper for $20 and put it on my Gladiator to replace the ugly base model one with the air dams. Around here, plastic bumpers off a rubicon or Mojave seem to list for about $100, but I doubt they ever sell for that. I bought the overland running boards for $50 and...

We’ve had awful luck with Subaru. We had a 2010 Forester that was in the shop every other month and for things a sub 100k mile car shouldn’t have had like a bad power steering pump and catalytic converter. We traded it around 120k when it was showing signs of a bad head gasket. Apparently all...

Good observation. I was wondering about the bed and what caused that angle. I imagine the fuel tank ruptured and fed the flames a long time. I was trying to think of an analogy and my thought was beer cans in a campfire, but theres something more amusing about this:

I was thinking the same thing about the metallurgy. The body would be wavy as heck, but maybe even brittle. The windshield frame is wavy where the visors were. I’m surprised that even the bed is cooked. That Jeep burned for a long time before the fire went out. The frame might be usable and...

Looks like someone’s already conquered it - and they did a real good job of it. I rebuilt a 4th gen Camaro after an interior fire. This “Jeep” doesn’t compare. What are you thinking of doing with it? Because emissions and safety restrictions are far from the biggest concerns.

I almost bought the RC system and now I’m glad I waited. The S-Tech doesn’t have “RC” on all the switches. It looks a little better without that branding in my opinion.

Does anyone know if Jeep has consistently been doing Easter eggs? Anything in a Cj7 for example? This topic always reminds me of my old CJ2A. Willys stamped their name on the hood, windshield, and tailgate, but they only put “Jeep” in one place: the front of the toolbox under the passenger...

Northridge4x4 has some awesome deals right now on s-tech switches. $65 for their “heritage” 6 switch system, but I think all their s-tech is under $100 right now. Killer deal when the s-tech site wants $250 for the same thing...

I hear a rattle and I'm not sure what it is. It sounds like it's coming from underneath, but it might also be pinging. I can hear it best when the window is down and I've just gone over a speedbump. I agree the emergency brake cables could be a source. There's a foam sleeve around them, but...
