Five years ago, I definitely didn’t have “Kia makes a real pickup truck” on my bingo card. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a62748062/2026-kia-tasman-revealed/ The good: body-on-frame, solid axle, rear locker, diesel and six-speed manual. The bad: it’s just insanely, magnificently ugly...

Yet another article about how Jeep is being sent to Stellantis reform school today: https://www.wsj.com/business/autos/jeep-parent-stellantis-taking-drastic-measures-to-conserve-cash-f313cfc1?mod=hp_lead_pos2 Automaker Stellantis is taking “drastic measures” to shore up the Jeep and Ram...

My 2021 Rubicon had a leather steering wheel. My 2024 Willys (and, AFAIK, all JLs with premium steering wheels) came with a faux leather wrap that’s supposed to feel like leather but really doesn’t. The new material is plenty soft but lacks any real grain. The old leather wheel wasn’t the best...

Turns out Jeep made several small but significant changes to the 2024 Wrangler. None of these were announced. You can piece them together from the information on these forums. Together, they add up to a company making a stealth effort to fix some known product weak points. This list is not...

Well, Jeep never could get the design to work right. You hate to see a manual die off, but in this case, it might be for the best. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a62259508/2025-jeep-gladiator-manual-dead-pricing/

Thank you.

I recently purchased the Armorlite Rear Cargo Mat for the JLU. https://goarmorlite.com/products/rear-cargo-mat-18-23-wrangler-jlu-4dr This is not the full replacement flooring for the rear. This is just the cargo mat — the same kind of mat you can find from lots of different vendors. With a...

Rubicon up $160 Sahara up $175 Sport/Willys up $0 Silver appears to be dead, which is weird.

Looks like drab olive, called “41,” is on the way. This is what the Mopar PJ5 paint code looks like: Guessing it will look exactly like the color of the “41” Concept from a couple of years ago. I imagine it will prove very popular with the old-school crowd.

Excellent video about a very surprising finding re: KO3s.

I’m getting pretty desperate here and hoping someone can help. I am moving my Trailgater table from one JL to another. That requires a new set of clips since the old ones could not be removed from the old JL without destroying them. I have tried buying these from Trailgater — and do not mind...

I’m not the first person to make this observation, but I am curious to hear people’s thoughts about the reason for the change. My new 2024 Willys came with CV joints instead of U-joints. My understanding is that Jeep previously used CV joints on JL’s with full-time 4WD capability and U-joints...

Apparently Stellantis is cracking down a bit on Tread Lightly discounts. Under the new rule, if you custom order a Jeep, you must have been a TL member 30 days prior to ordering in order to get the discount. This wasn’t a problem for me, but the dealer said a lot of people have been getting...

Here’s a weird one on the configurator.

It was too good to keep in the vault. $895 this time around. Ordering is open.

Thanks in advance. Jeep is, as usual, no help.

Like the saying goes: That which can’t go on forever, won’t. Jeep has been greedy af these past few years. Now look at what they have to do. https://www.autoblog.com/2024/02/13/those-2024-jeep-grand-cherokee-prices-that-went-up-theyve-now-dropped-by-as-much-as-4000/ The discounts outlined in...

I’m a couple strong margaritas to the wind at the moment (Jimmy Buffett RIP), so this is probably a good time to say how much I love my JL. The world is pretty jacked right now, but it’s pretty badass that you can still drive a rig with two stick axles, a removable top, great engine and...
