Some meth head rear ended my brand new Rubicon. Steel bumper and tow hook took most of the hit, but looking underneath I have some frame damage. How are things working out for you since your frame replacement? So far so good? How did you address diminished value with insurance?

The steel bumpers are substantial. I don’t intend to push anything...but I feel I could. They’re steel - not Fisher Price - what more can I say? Having them straight from the factory means no headache with backup sensors.

Kuwait! I lived there for a year and had some good times. I remember the grand opening of the Ruby Tuesday in 03. I was also a regular at the Sushi place at the Crowne Plaza. Good people - I’d definitely go back.

That battery is almost dead ~40%. Charge it to 13V and try again.

Cost of new axle + labor Cost of regearing parts + labor Cost of adding locking rear diff + labor Cost of OEM locking diff switchgear + labor No warranty No resale value for the mods...would most likely sell for less than an unmodified vehicle. You bought the wrong trim level. Just trade up to...

I’m in Cybersecurity - applied to spacecraft. You’re also completely right about being at war with myself. I lack the time not the ability to do the work. I can’t in good faith pay someone several thousand dollars for a couple hours of basic labor. I learned a decent amount of plumbing...

I know this will probably come off as elitist, but I’ve had zero luck with tradespeople and figure 90% are completely unreliable. The 10% that are reliable and know what they’re doing are so damn expensive I end up doing the work myself. Some are straight up predatory. Some recent examples are...

I saw this picture and immediately thought “What is this black magic...”.

This is an opportunity. Find a minty 300zx twin-turbo. Manual. You know it’s the car you wanted when you settled for the 240.

The problem is deeper. If the dealer does support the claim under warranty, the solution as someone mentioned is a complete axle swap. He’d lose the regearing. That wiring harness from Z automotive is cheap enough it’s worth attempting.

The computer shouldn’t allow Lock unless in 4L - even if there’s a short somewhere calling for it. Did you remove that safety feature, flash the ECU, using a piggyback unit, etc?

Just sold an 18’ Sahara Unlimited with 23K miles. Received $500 under the highest KBB trade-in value and 1% under invoice on the new 21’ Rubicon.

Like the title says: Towed an absolutely packed (looked like Tetris in there) U-Haul 6x12 trailer roughly 400 miles through the foothills of TN and achieved 19.6 MPG. Effortless. We lost a trailer tire during the trip despite keeping it under 60mph, so there’s a very good chance it was...

You sir - are a saint. Your wisdom is very much appreciated!

It's been a week and finally ran through my first tank of diesel. I thought I'd add some Power Service to help with fuel lubricity...no dice. The fuel port has a safety device and I can't insert a funnel. Both local auto parts stores had nothing that would work. I see some funnels available...

Just to put this into perspective, a 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S has a 0-60 of 3 seconds...and can’t leave the pavement. It’s $128K. A loaded Escalade is about $90K and they’re extremely popular. This isn’t a truck for the backwoods “yokel” crowd. It’s a luxury vehicle with a specific market...

Haters gonna hate. I’d take one of these over a cookie-cutter Silverado, F-150, or even a Raptor. Without a doubt it’s capable, comfortable, practical, and because of the price has exclusively. It’ll be a while before the mullet crowd adopts them, and by that I mean my neighbor can park one on...

Think of it this way - if safety gear were in the stock plastic bumper - it would have to be replicated in the stock metal bumper. I'm going to say no - there are no sensors in the front bumper. All the safety stuff is in the big plastic box where the rear view mirror is located as well as the...

If it’s an upscale community and rent is 4K a month, it’s highly unlikely the thief is a neighbor in your complex despite what the police said. At that income level, even if laid-off, if they were going to take up crime they’d aim higher than loose change and used clothing with no value. I’m...
