Fair warning: Some people are going to get upset with this post. Me personally, Iām sad and conflicted. But also relieved.
TLDR: I am selling the Sexiest Jeep Alive 2026 on Bring-A-Trailer.
Instead of giving you a blablabla fishing for likes about how much I appreciate this community (which of...
At least for those of us who do not have charge-at-home infrastructure and even then I donāt want to own one anymore. After a combined 8 years of full EV ownership this experiment is over for me.
As Iām sitting at the āfastā charger charging our BMW iX (full EV) family vehicle, mostly driven by...
Gents and Ladies - does anyone run a 3.5ā Metalcloak lift with B8 8100 shocks?
I am going to switch out my Rocksport Red shocks for something more meaningful. After some research, I landed on the Bilstein B8 8100 DSAs (non-bypass).
My Metalcloak kit really runs closer to 4.5ā-5ā lift. I also...
Fresh off the press, just got home after a scary J**p event during the winter storm:
Imagine this, you are driving your wife to her hospital night shift, because essential workers must come in to work during the storm and you of course chose to take your extremely capable rig to handle the...
Update IV: After flashing to a new firmware, everything is now working as intended.
Update III: After much forth and back weāre now on to testing the interactions of the JB4 with the RPM fan controller. Thereās a chance you canāt have both due to CANbus reading speed. I think at this point it...

All Jeep and Chrysler Plug-In Hybrid Models Are Officially Dead: Exclusive
This does not impact future range-extended electric models, the company told...
So I recently stated on here that Iāve finally pulled F42 and isolated the AUX negative cable from the IBS, zip tied away. I did so after one morning I woke up and the car wouldnāt start, and the jump starter wouldnāt power it up either.
However, when working on my vehicle today, I saw the dash...
Letās begin with a story: I once submerged a 4xe JLwindow-level deep in a small mud pit. I was able to drive the vehicle 200 miles home without codes or issues afterwards. Photos attached. My questions after the photos.
Ever since, Iāve always wondered what āwater resistant interiorā really...
I recently noticed that my factory air intake has an intake hole in the engine compartment, right on top of the air intake box. But it also has an air intake hole in the passenger side wheel well, right below the air intake box. I understand this design is to accommodate cold air being taken in...
If any of our members here are well endowed, Iād like them to let us know what this one is like!

Or if youāre just 95% endowed, maybe a measly Porsche 911 Dakar will do.
I am insured with GEICO and I asked them today whether off road use is covered. They said explicitly yes - it is covered. That seems unusual to me but am thinking Iāll take it to the grave.
Quite unhappy with this (politely written) response from a local highly rated dealer. I guess itās their prerogative and while theyāre ārespectfulā about it, it just makes the customer-dealer-brand relationship with Jeep so much harder.
Bloomberg posted an extensive article today originally titled āJeeps Collapseā and then changed name to the above thread title. Itās behind a paywall unfortunately.
however, I wanted you guys to know ow that it is highly informative, very infuriating and generally depressing.
Will post the...
About a week ago I installed the Metalcloak Rocklander 2.5ā Lift Kit, complete with shocks, relo brackets and front driveshaft.
Overall Iām super happy with the kit - rides like stock, carries more weight and has more articulation. What more can you want!
However, I do have two questions about...
Up for grabs is the complete factory suspension from my 2025 2-Door Wrangler Rubicon XR, removed after fewer than 1,500 miles of use (practically like new condition). I installed a MetalCloak lift kit on my Jeep, so these OEM suspension components are now available for someone looking to upgrade...
Hey there, fellow Jeep enthusiasts! I'm the new kid on the block in terms of wrenching and I'm in desperate need of some expert assistance. Would anyone be willing to lend a helping hand (and some valuable expertise) to a stranger in need? I'm looking to install a lift kit (MetalCloak 2.5") on...
As I wrapped up my full audio build, Iāve come to realize that Iām already longing for the next DIY project. This time around, I think I need to look at the suspension components of my ā25 2-door JL Rubicon with Xtreme 35-inch tire package.
Before I start though, I realize I have a few...
