I have this same cargo net over the back seat... I call it the attic.
Day to day, I keep a sleeping bag-size stuffsack on each side (one for me, one for the wife), with a raincoat, down puffer, hat, and gloves for each of us. There's enough room between for another stuffsack, but I use a bungee...
I honestly don't mind those. They are at least relevant to my life and give me a chance to move over for the stopped vehicle. I really don't care if there's a high wind advisory 90 minutes away though.
I have a 2022 JTR with the 8.4" UConnect infotainment system. This time of year, I get some sort of weather alert almost every time I drive it. The weather alerts are always for Franklin County, which is approximately 80 miles from where I live in Boston/Suffolk County, Mass. Sometimes I see...
That's clearly what BMW was doing, and probably what other manufacturers are still doing. All buyers pay for the seat heater hardware. A select few pay a subscription to switch on the software toggle that lets them use it.
BMW's Heated Seat Subscription Is Dead; Others Live On
The heated seat subscription was reportedly going to cost buyers $18 a month, but Nota told Autocar that BMW buyers “feel that they paid double” for the feature before insisting that isn’t true. However, he acknowledged that “perception is...
Same here. That's why I was hoping my next JT would be a hybrid. I drive a stock height Rubicon with 35" ATs (significantly lighter wheel/tire combo than stock), a bed rack, a stubby bumper, and no other mods that should really affect fuel economy. I rarely get cumulative mpg over 14.
I grew...
I like the 4xe, and I've never owned one. Been wheeling with a couple of guys who had 4xe JLUs, and they were happy. My cousin has one as a summer fun car (must be nice) and he loves it.
15mpg is better than I average with the 3.6 JTR when all I'm hauling is myself and my dog.
This is exactly what I was looking forward to with my next Gladiator 4xe. Maybe Stellantis (or whoever owns Jeep by then) will dust off the 4xe plans when CAFE penalties go back into effect.
I have given serious thought to trying to make some sort of removable fairing out of Bondo and wire mesh to close out the front fenders, but my biggest problem is low speeds. My commute is almost all stop and go driving on local roads. When take a long road trip on the highway, I can get the...
I don't agree with everything in this article about how the JT stacks up to other midsize pickups, but I do think it was a mistake to cut the 4xe option. In 2025, it is hard to live with 13-14 mpg from a daily driver, no matter how fun it is on the weekend. I'll drive the wheels off my...
Welcome to the forum. My name is also Jacob, but I go by Jake.
Lots of good information and inspiration on here, and it's always fun to see pics of everybody's trucks and projects.
If I'm not first in line on a trail ride, I go with parking lights, factory fogs, and my ditch lights. The ditch lights give me situational awareness, the fogs shed enough light on the obstacle between me and the Jeep ahead, and I don't blind everybody in front of me with my LED headlights or...
