I recently did some of the more challenging portions of Freedom Trail. Like really, really tough stuff (IMHO). Unfortunately that resulted in a slight grinding noise from the rear when I lift off the throttle. There's metal shavings in the rear diff and the grinding is getting worse. Now I get...

Great analysis of the implications of changes in off road vehicles:

Any suggestions for disbursed camping areas south of Colorado that would be relatively warm next weekend (April 21st)? My wife is thinking White Sands NM, but I'm not sure if that's decent for camping.

I didn't realize that his first conversion project was stretching a 2 door.

I'm trying to figure out what this guy means when he says that you can virtually make the car have a longer or shorter wheelbase. It's at about the 4:00 mark.

I recently discovered that AEV tire carriers have a hole in them designed to hold a shovel. My wife ran with the idea and stuck one of our shovels in it before she took her brother for a trail run. Unfortunately nobody realized that the handle is slightly too long and it digs into the back of...

I don't think that I've ever heard of Tru-Lok axles on a JL, but so far 11 2023 Wranglers have been built with them. Is that an extremely special order or something?

They do a great job of explaining the fundamentals of off-roading / rock crawling in this video. While I no longer consider myself a beginner, it rarely hurts to learn new techniques or what I'm doing wrong. He disables all of the safety stuff via the Tazer. That's something that I'd never...

This guy might have forgot to do something before pulling into his garage. https://v.redd.it/tpsmgnilsufa1

Any chance of getting my spreadsheet thread stickied? If you need to make room there's a 2021-specific thread that might be willing to step aside ;)

It's interesting when a brand new vehicle manufacturer cranks up and they're building a body-on-frame solid-axle vehicle that's designed fundamentally for overlanding. https://ineosgrenadier.com/en/us/

We're going Feb 27/28. Unfortunately they're only posting it on FB, which we can't reference here. This is from a few years ago:

Search engines typically give you a list of web sites where you might find the answer to your questions. This thing, however, just answers them. And it does so rather eloquently. For example, I asked it "How do I make my 2022 JLURD better at rock crawling?" and it responded with: There are...

Yeah, this is a bit weird: https://carbuzz.com/news/mazdas-new-rotary-engine-variable-valve-timing-is-weirder-than-the-wankel-itself

TFL just published a really good guide on speccing out a new Wrangler.

It looks like we'll need to complete a course to go off road in Utah starting February 1st. https://www.advrider.com/utah-to-require-online-off-road-training/ Utah House Bill 180. Edit: as @Sublime pointed out, this is for off-highway vehicles only, not Jeeps.

It looks like Tazer is adding a security feature. Could be useful for some of us. https://www.ram-trx.com/threads/new-tazer-update-and-more.13963/

Some people here seem to think that the fuel mileage displayed on their dash represents the average since their last reset (going all the way back to their first mile of they've never reset it), but it sure doesn't seem that way to me. I haven't reset mine in a couple thousand miles. If the...

https://www.thedrive.com/news/jeep-wrangler-tops-list-of-new-cars-with-the-biggest-markups How do we get the word out to let people know that they don't have to pay those prices? https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/ratberts-dealers-below-invoice-spreadsheet.95841/

We had resumed interstate driving after a 15 minute stop and were about five minutes into the next leg. Cruise control was set at 83 MPH. Fairly low altitude (~4k feet). Relatively flat interstate. Lost all power from the engine. Had the pedal floored while the speed continued to drop to 60 or...
