Spot on. With this world of mega-corps and Airbnb empires, when I pop into a Jeep and wave at another guy in his happy world - I just feel awesome about the community aspect. I’ve probably talked to more Jeepers than the rat-race neighbors in my HOA. Thanks for bringing up the humanity of...

This is not my first duck, and I owe some other people "duck" acknowledgments for my Jeep's travels. However, someone ducked me up pretty well today. Not sure I can recover. When I first went up, I saw this: Gave me a smile on my face from whoever this is. Then I saw this crazy madness...

You should part the shocks out unless it’s too much of a pain.

If I remember, 392s were at MSRP, but not completely sure. The 392 might not be with us much longer, so still stubbornly expensive.

I just picked up my 2023 Rubicon Unlimited from Tuttle Click in Irvine. I had purchased my last one from Huntington Beach, but they don't seem to be matching anything else on in OC or SD area for while. Rob surprised me with an even bigger discount than we agreed upon when I ordered the vehicle...

Cars are not "built" from scratch, they are assembled. A car plant just puts together parts from various other subs, hence the statistical occurence of issues. The dash, engine, paints, wiper/window motors were all put together at different stages, have a serial number. They may have been spot...

Ok, the votes were close, ultimately I chose the 4.88 and joining the 2023 crew. I am in no hurry and can wait. Of course the 2024 will come out with the Uconnect 5 and whatever else and ruin my day.

It’s not terribly more for the price hike. Maybe 2k for msrp?

Should I buy a 2022 I ordered in Dec, or get a 2023? 2023 Pros: I can get 4.88 for easy tire swap. 1 year younger. 2022: it’s actually here now, 0 waiting. caveat: I already have 2019, so don’t care about waiting.

Watched the poll. Flipped a biased coin, and bought 4x on the 285s. Saved on a spare and kept it currently stock.

This is still for ATs. At the 24k mark the humming starts usually with the heavy concrete highway use in CA. Even with 3k rotations, big block tires are just noisy, even without the standard MT hum.

I am waffling between LT285/70R17/C and LT315/70R17/C. My current set is terribly worn down after 36k miles and hums horrifically at highway speeds. Should I go bigger, since the Rubicon allows the size, or stay the same. I only overland, never crawl - and the majority of miles is just highway...

I never followed up. Sliders dipped in priority ATM. I’d hit up their site and contact someone to see if we can close out this query. I’m still curious about it.

This brings up another common EV advantage, which is operational cost. Cost to charge + actual maintenance costs are insanely low. Of course we don't trust FCA, so electrical reliability might be a sinker, but in general an EV doesn't cost anything to operate other than the initial cost...

That's only a 10 minute charge for most.

Honda Elements are highly sought after here in California. It's the poor man's reliable utility and home-van

I still think Jeep needs a true halo vehicle. The Rubicon trim is pretty much identical to the Sahara in many ways. Sure - Jeep could make a stripped down Rubicon, but they don't want to give away the cow. I say the Rubicon needs to either go back to the intent, or they have a new trim which is...

First thing I bought was rubber everything. My vehicle goes to the beach and the mountains very often. Within two trips there is sand everywhere, especially in the back where the tie down rails are. It’s a miserable vacuuming experiences. If I could just use a hand broom, it’d save me an hour...

I’m onboard with this. The whole reason I bought a rubicon is to get diffs, axles, the usual stuff. But what I really want is to have less forced creature comforts, and things that are too expensive at the trim level. Using the Defender as an example, they have these cool patches to protect...

There's a massive market for these "retro" and resto-mods out there for the Internationals, all these old Defenders, TJs. All these vehicles are 150k plus though. I think that Jeep can create something that chases this group of people and make the safe profit.
