Hey, SEMA-types, here's something roof rack to work on for the next show: I've been using Thule racks and accessories since the mid 1980's. That stuff is "buy once, cry once" quality--it lasts forever, well, until Thule designs in some obsolescence like slotted crossbars. I digress. I've been...

There have been various threads over the last 3 years about the load limits for gutter-mounted roof racks. FCA or Stellantis or whoever they are this week put a meek 100 pound limit in the 2018 Owner's Manual, likely due to the plastic/fiberglass gutters, but that doesn't say if that is a limit...

How about an Extended-Length JLU Wrangler, as long as a Gladiator, with one continuous passenger/cargo compartment? Let me explain how I arrived at this possibly-interesting vehicle concept: In another, unrelated forum where I lurk, a gentleman in Georgia has put a very nice-looking tan camper...

My JLUR-owning son and DIL saw this, this THING on the way to Charleston and sent me a photo. At least it's a JK! P.S.: If this is your Wrangler, please accept this as good-natured ribbing! It IS a free country, and thus we are free to do what we want to the most American of American vehicles!

Which one of you four esteemed accessory manufacturers is going to be the first to bring out quality, molded Front Mud Flaps for the JL Rubicon (plus now the JT Gladiator) with Rock Rail? Yesterday I drove across some street water that turned out to be downstream from a sewer-cleaning vacuum...

Now that my MOPAR Hood Lock Kit has arrived after FIFTY WEEKS on backorder, I plan to finally install a pair of Hella Supertone Horns while the grill is off. These are diaphragm type, aftermarket horns, not air horns with a compressor. The Hella Kit came with a relay, which I'm sure would be...

I just want to bring attention in the Exterior Mods section to the General JL / JLU Wrangler Discussions thread ***Mopar Hood Lock Kit Update*** - SHIPPING NOTICE!!!!!!!!!! (Good News/Bad News Update Page 4) As discussed in that thread, the MOPAR Hood Lock Kit I received is NOT the Bolt...

I hope this isn't fake news. I hope the Mopar Hood Lock Kit is everything our collective expectations hope(d) it would be. Why the expressions of hope? Fifty (50) weeks to the day that I ordered the Mopar Hood Lock Kit for my 2018 JL, I have received a Shipping Notice from my distributor...

After viewing the excellent Vendor area at the recent Bantam Jeep Festival near Butler, PA, I wondered what off-road accessories vendors we had locally in Pittsburgh. Googling brought up 4WheelParts in Monroeville, PA (actually Wilkins Township). Monroeville is a super-busy shopping zoo area on...

In my driveway I park near a pine tree of waning vitality, so it dumps lots of pine needles onto the adjoining roof, which then get blown over the driveway and parked vehicles. On my MDX and some past cars, the intake for the HVAC system is hidden under the hood near the windshield, however the...
