  1. Florida Man Fixes JAFOd Jeep

    This talk of heavy drops gone wrong reminds me of my experience back in 1972. Back before "All American Week" was called "All American Week" we were setting up to demonstrate a typical airborne assault for the audience, which included our families, along with brass from the Pentagon and folks...
  2. 2024 Wrangler Unlimited With TWO engine replacements

    Thatr's the truth! Carfax shows our Jeeps as us being the second owners: just because we changed the titles from California to Tennessee when we moved last year!
  3. Florida Man Fixes JAFOd Jeep

    Must be a leg - a paratroooper would slam those down on the way to morning formation! :CWL:
  4. Outside Temperature Display

    We did a Jeep Adventure Academy day a few years ago and I asked them about this - they said that the temp sensor is de-activated when in 4L because you're probably running real slow, causing heat buildup in the engine bay which would cause a false temp reading.
  5. Did we juust experience "death wobble"?

    Follow-up: We went online to the Columbia Jeep dealer and got an appointment - we could have got a same-day appointment but chose to drop it off the following day, which was a Thursday. Described the symptons and the service advisor said it sounded like death wobble. He said they'd check it out...
  6. BUMPERS in California

    I wonder how this is defined: there are Porsches out there that have 4 distinct LED sources in each headlight housing - so do they count light sources, or light housings?
  7. Favorite smaller/local dealerships

    Don't know about the sales side, but our JLU is at Columbia Jeep in Columbia, TN right now to address a DW issue. I went online for an appointment and was able to get a same-day appointment, which suggests they aren't overwhelmed with work. When we drove in the first thing the service writer did...
  8. Stellantis Patents Advanced Transmission Fluid Drainage System

    I saw a cartoon in a magazine many decades ago - it was a customer trying to return a defective item. The customer says "But it has a lifetime warranty!" to which the customer service person replies "Yes, but it's dead now!"
  9. How I flat towed my lifted Jeep 4,200 miles from Alaska

    There are a ton of folks out there towing Jeeps - many of them are pushing the towing limit on their RV with just the Jeep hooked up; add the weight of a car trailer and they're well over their tow rating.
  10. Does the jeep wave include the Gladiator too?

    If you pass me you'll get a wave whether I'm driving my Gladiator, my wfe's Wrangler, or my motorhomoe pulling either one...
  11. Did we juust experience "death wobble"?

    Thanks for all the suggestions, folks - now to decide where to take it. We live just south of Chapel Hill, TN and the Columbia dealer is about 20 miles away; the Murfreesboro is about 26 miles, and the Franklin dealer is about 30 miles. I'm thinking I'll give the Columbia dealer a shot - being a...
  12. Did we juust experience "death wobble"?

    So, we're driving the wife's stock 2022 JLU Sport S recently, cruise control set at 70 mph on the freeway when we encountered a rough patch of roadway. Suddenly it felt like we were driving too fast on a washboard road! Slowed down to about 40 mph and it smoothed out. I've read most of the posts...
  13. Is your Jeep your daily driver?

    Both our JLU and our JT are our only vehicles (except for our motorhome) so they are daily drivers, but being retired we don't drive them daily...
  14. The Nanny Jeep; has Stellantis destroyed the soul of the Wrangler?

    Unless it was repowered it was a 4.2L, not a 4.0...
  15. Is engine braking bad?

    In other words: engine braking is not engine breaking... :)
  16. Is your Wrangler your only transportation or part of your fleet?

    We have a total of 3 vehicles: the wife's 2022 JLU, my 2020 JT, and a 2007 Fleetwood Bounder motorhome.
  17. Pentastar Upgrade and 0w20 engine oil

    Costco has a box containing 2 5 quart bottles of their Kirkland brand full synthetic oil for $34, or you could splurge and get Mobil 1 box for $37.
  18. Pentastar Upgrade and 0w20 engine oil

    You mean back in the rec.autos and rec.autos.tech days? Yeah, I'm an old phart!
  19. Any groups in Middle Tennessee?

    We've recently moved to Middle Tennessee - specifically the Lewisburg/Chapel Hill area - and wondering if there's any Jeep groups that enjoy mild off-roading and social gatherings? We've got a 2020 JT and a 2022 JLU - both stock SS models - and we're looking for trail rides that won't break things!
  20. Has anyone here purchased a bright color and later regretted it being so attention getting/visible? I’d like to hear more from you

    My wife got a Hydro Blue back in 2022 and it was one of very few in the San Jose, Ca area. Here in Middle Tennessee that color is everywhere - she's upset that her Jeep is no longer unique!
