I think everyone needs to, at least one time, take the whole top off(doors optional too), go total apocalypse now, and blast some Wagner, especially if it's on a gravel or dirt/mud road.....

You think that's bad, try something like Henry Mancini or Aaron Copeland.
Oh, I don't get bent about it in the slightest, just give them a nod and roll on. I'll have try some Copeland and Mancini when it gets warmer. Like both of those, thanks for the tip

That reminds me, we need to get a plan together for the TJ, it needs a new head unit and speakers throughout.

I know everyone has their preferred audio band of choice, I'm not disappointed with the premium audio group that I got with my '22. The only thing that drives me crazy if I think about it too much is, why can I only turn it up to 27.... Why such an arbitrary odd number... Give me 30 or eleventy...

When I ordered, block heater was a singular option, it might have been $150, or included in the winter package with a couple thousand to get the large seats, warmers, and many other things I didn't want. I passed on the block heater, it doesn't get and stay that cold here in the Midwest, and the 3L diesel isn't a huge engine to crank over from cold. I've not had any problems, might have seen -10F overnight, turns over, but maybe a little grumpy the first minute or two.

Go back to the roots of less electronics less flashy big engines.

Just make it work and work reliably.

Agree 100%. Almost 3 years later I'm still trying to accept the push button start, that 1 second delay bugs me most of the time. I just want to turn a key and feel like I'm actually doing something.....

QFT but sadly likely to never happen.

Most of these electronic doodads are a result of various govt mandated safety devices and emissions controls. And consumers expect a certain level of equipment like power windows, AC, in dash displays, auto transmissions, etc.

Oh I understand, and no offense meant. I know there's even different ordering constraints inside the US depending on where you are, on top of what you want or need, and package combinations...etc. Stanley(jt) and I want to venture up far north one of these days, bucket list thing
