My jeep will be 5 years old in September. I'm probably jinxing myself hard here, but the factory battery still surprisingly works! I only have 9200 miles on my jeep because I don't drive much. However, every time I start it up I can see the alternator is pumping 14.4v into it - I'm assuming this...

The funny thing is the auto emergency braking was one of the two things that made me go order a JL to replace my JK. The other was the (vastly) improved "rollcage" setup. There were plenty of other reasons but they were "would be nice" kinda things.

It works fine with my folld 4 using a usb-c to usb-c cable. I specifically use this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B088NLK5P5 With regards to stability: I actually find it more reliable than using my iPhone 13 with carplay lol. That's just the phone's fault. iOS periodically decides I...

Fender benders can still have bad consequences, if you're not wearing your seatbelt, or driving a small car (or jeep) and get hit by a big ford f350 or get hit just the right way. OTOH, there's a lot of grifty doctors offices that specialize in accidents. There's one in my town that sedates...

There's limits to how fast they can jack the rates up. On one hand, there has been a lot of loss the past few years and the companies are dying to make that up with higher premiums. But like a lot of things the past few years, it's hard to really believe when the costs are ACTUALLY going up...

Oh man. I think Wranglers look best stock. Or at best with subtle mods. I was under the impression most mods were function over form, and they certainly look that way. Stuff like cutting and/or deleting the fenders, deleting the spare tire, brush bars, aux lights, perhaps various interior...

I doubt it would happen. They just introduced a 2 door charger, and coupes are super duper unpopular for mass market vehicles.

To answer this whole thread and your little (amusing) quip: The airbag system needs to know how heavy the person sitting in the front seat is, because the airbags can deploy to different sizes/strengths depending on how large the person in the seat is. There's two reasons for that. The first...

To be completely honest, I had a 300C back when I lived in a country town and that car saw dirt and gravel roads more than any of my jeeps ever have lol. You don't need approval from some goons on the internet to buy or drive whatever you want. If you enjoy driving a Jeep on road, that's fine...

HA HAHAHA yea you're not alone in that. I guess that's why I like that 4 wheel drive logo though. I have mixed thoughts about this. I like the giant RUBICON stickers on the side of my jeep's hood. I don't really care for badges in general, and on a Jeep they feel especially pointless (it's like...

On my JK: The radiator developed a leak after a couple of years. The first dealer insisted I was hallucinating. I took off the cover and showed the second dealer and they took care of it. A valve body thing in the transmission started making a 'hoot' noise when shifting between certain gears...

Hot take: Pay people to ride a bike lol. Like friggin straight up. At least where I live, the roads have plenty of room for bikes without "clogging up". The street I live on has -in each direction - 2 car lanes, a bike lane, and a parking lane. Imagine if we paid people to ride their bike to...

It's strange there isn't a way to turn them off. Edit: When I bought my jeep the rubicon upgrade really wasn't that big a price jump so I bought it because I liked it lol. at $7k I'd also be rethinking it. I don't really care for black wheels though. I like silver wheels.

I'll also add that the majority of the quality problems I see people talk about on the forum have nothing to do with the assembly plant.

Says the same people who keep on going "THEY SHOULD STICK IT TO THEM BY JUST MAKING THE CARS IN CHINA!" and then cover their fucking car in 1000 american flags and eagles and bumper stickers implying that anyone who does less is <censored>. I mean help me out here. I bought a Jeep precisely...

Well, if they want to give me a brand new fully loaded bronco I might consider it lol. Nothing like a free upgrade from your 5 year old vehicle to a brand new one... even if mine is practically brand new lol. But would I actually put any effort at all into trading? Oh hell no. I like my Jeep...

I have never driven a Porsche or BMW so my scale of judgement isn't that reliable, but I don't find them that bad. My first Wrangler was a 2015. It was a little bumpy, turning radius was too wide, and the brakes on it sucked. The 2020 I replaced it with is less bumpy, has a great turning radius...

That is one of the ugliest things I've ever seen on 4 wheels lol.

I realize that wireless carplay/android auto is a thing now, but I always liked having the map on my screen when I hadn't bothered to connect my phone. It's still a good passive tool for when you encounter a traffic jam and wonder if you can take a side street to get around it or forgot a...

I think the transmitter is just inside the visor lol. Also, it does work in 'run' (with the engine off). Also you should be able to do this... from outside your garage! (in fact the video says don't turn on the engine) (the reason why the vehicle has to be in 'run' is so that people couldn't...
