This winter, I purposfully parked one rear wheel on dry pavement and the other rear wheel on a frozen puddle. The wheel on the puddle slipped like crazy when I tried to move. This summer, I was putting on my summer wheels and just for the heck of it, while one rear wheel was up off the ground, I...

Every time I park my 2019 JL Sport for longer that maybe 10 minutes and then move it forward again, I get a loud metal-on-metal, squeaking noise, coming from the rear of the vehicle. Applying the brakes or the parking brake when this is happening has no effect, better or worse. After 10-30...

2019 Wrangler Sport with just under 16,000 miles, never driven off road. All started out fine one morning, on the way to work. I got up over 50 mph and shfted into 5th, no problem. When I slowed down to exit the road I was on, I attempted to drop it into 2nd and had to coast to a stop, because I...

So yesterday, it happened a SECOND TIME. I mistakenly left my Fob in the Jeep ('19 Wrangler Sport) overnight. The temp dipped to a whopping 31 degrees. (Around here on Cape Cod, some people are still wearing shorts at 31 degrees.) I got up, went out to start the vehicle and nothing. The...

I used to have a big, old, fat OEM service manual for my '97 TJ. (And boy, was it greasy, meaning it was needed, a LOT). As time goes by, I have no doubt the same will be true for my JL. Is there an OEM manual available? I'd prefer paper but if there is only digital, okay. I know it would be...

I just picked up a set of summer OEM wheels, just in time for winter, here in the Northeast. Ha ha. Anyway, I used to change my TJ wheels each season, myself. In the process, torquing the lug nuts would always damage the chrome on the nuts, and they would eventually rust. Is there a way to do it...

I have a 2019 JL Sport, with the 3.6. I almost always read only 29-30 psi oil pressure, no matter what temp or RPM. My '97 TJ with 121K had 45 psi. Just sayin'; but WTF? It is just a little TOO stable, not to mention low. Is this an actual indication or a made-up, "don't-worry-about-it,-you...

I have a hard top JL Sport. When driving around with either just the side windows open or the windows open and Freedom panels off, the air circulation in the cabin is poor. With just the windows, it's just hot. With the panels off too, it's still hot but on the highway, you get totally blasted...

I am still having some trouble with the pattern of my JL sport manual transmission. Compared to my TJ, the pattern is very tight and reverse is VERY easy to hit, instead of first. Also, third is pretty close to first. Was this the same with the JK? What I have done, more than once, is pull up to...

Long time Jeep owners often blow off little problems with the function or design of their vehicles, calling them, "Jeep Things." I have always felt this is one reason we wave to each other: Each knows the small annoyances the other is going through and knows they are okay with it. With the...

Yesterday was the 75th anniversary of the Normandy invasion. Many stories of the heroic men who hit those beaches. Truly, they were the "greatest generation." Tough, unstoppable, with integrity in the DNA. Hmmm, there was also a VEHICLE that came to be, around that time. It was called a "Jeep,"...
