Is it possible that the bolts have thread-lock on them from the factory? That would explain why they are difficult to remove and easier to install.
I'm pretty sure they do. In the JK videos you can see the blue on the tips when they come out.

Hellooooo Twinsie! :blush:
Yes, my Bluetooth is connected. Calls work all the time, but as far as I know the lesser notifications like texts & emails only come in with the USB connection.
Well, if you give me your number, I can text you and we can test it out ;)

(see what I did there?)

That was one of the easier morning catch-ups I've done... :whew:

Hello fellow Jeeples. Noticed this on the odo before I shut Gabrielle off while parking at work this morning.

They grow up so fast :crying::giggle::involve:

I actually went out to my old childhood town to practice on hills. Literally found a parking lot with a hill (only 4 degrees though by the inclinometer), and just started from the bottom, made it to the top, and rolled backwards to the bottom again. Repeat for 30 minutes.

Now I need a steeper hill. :devil:
When I had my SE-R, got stopped at a red light on a steep hill. The car behind was a classic Chevy 'something' and was pulled right up to me. I was fairly panicked and when the light went green I obviously didn't want to roll back so I squawked the tires loudly pulling away. There was a cruiser coming down the hill at that moment...But he must have noticed the proximity of said classic car and gave me a pass lol :whew:

Something I just noticed here - the "door ajar" symbol is a Jeep too! Look - there's no rear window shown, but you can see the spare tire!

Isn't Hill Assist supposed to take care of that for you?

Or a Corvette...? :devil:

Seriously, one of the major reasons I got the most capable 4x4 on Earth, and not a Civic is because of the winters up here. And they can't even hold a candle to the ones you guys get!
My 17' Chrysler 300 AWD was a snow tank. I drove across the bottom of the lakes states in the middle of as blizzard to go pick up my Puddle Jumper, never slipped once, it was like the road was clear. Chryslers AWD system in its big cars is magic.

I've definitely done that a few times. I'd rather make a ruckus peeling out than stall and roll backwards personally. Of course, the ideal situation is to pull away smoothly...not quite there yet :asshat:

Had to take a detour through Fort Lee yesterday (town at the NJ end of the GWB) and learned the hard way that Fort Lee is very much like San Francisco in that it is built on a cliff face, with inclines to match. :lipssealed::lipssealed::lipssealed:
