Last night I removed the discriminator/restrictor from the fuel filler tube...

WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG TO DO THIS?!?!

Take that BP and your mis-sized diesel pumps!

When HD radio start on the JTs and JLs?
It started on day 1 with the JL. Mine is a 2018 and was early production with the Alpine infotainment system. It has HD radio and is no different in any way with the 8.5 inch Uconnect system in my 2021 Gladiator.

He talked about it once in another thread. He uses a special filter in Photoshop that gives it that almost RC toy like appearance.
Mainly I shoot it from really far away at 200mm focal length with the lens wide open so there's a lot of separation between the subject and the background. :)

Pavement princess .
Probably 90% pavement, 10% logging roads and unpaved areas. I spent some time driving on sand last week while I was in Florida. Just turned over 9000 miles. Time for my 4th oil change and 3rd tire rotation. I'll be out in the woods this weekend. I'll see if I can get her dirty.

I'm lucky that my commute is 7 miles each way and that our roads are all paved! Trust me, I was born in WV and don't envy you at all.

Dang, I'd be doing 3000-mile oil changes every month with a commute like that. It took me 12 months to go 9000 miles, and that's with two 1000-mile trips to Florida and two 600-mile trips to the Smoky Mountains. I figure at about $30 an oil change, doing three of them a year is the cheapest insurance for my engine.

I was born and raised in the area around Morgantown/Fairmont/Clarksburg. Our cars were always covered with rust. I don't know if I would even try to keep a vehicle nice up there. The underside of my Gladiator gets washed and wiped down with Griot's Garage ceramic wax at least once a month. I still get asked if it's brand new every time I drive it. I've owned sports cars and diesel trucks, but I've never owned a vehicle that gets as many compliments as this thing. It never stays dirty long. :) My wife laughs at me when she sees me lying on my back cleaning the underside of the truck.
