Nice idea, I'll try that on the next change, she only has 750 miles now, I always dump the factory oil and filter around 500, old habits die hard I suppose. - We romp her pretty good, not sure I'll personally go with a self draining plug on the pan, at least the pan on my 2023 the plug is...

Which one is the MO-899. I went with the white MO-041 that has SRT on the side, for perfect and much larger. Hope I ordered the right model haha. And yes, the filter draining is a mess. I used one of my wife's aluminum basting pans from the kitchen, the disposable thin ones, duct taped it to...

Hit 600 miles and she got her first oil change. 7.5 quarts Pennzoil 0W-40, went with the larger SRT MO-041 filter. Removed the silly plastic drip guard from around the filter mount. The SRT filter fits like a glove, not sure why they come from the factory with the smaller black ones. After the...

Almost like belt noise, a little high pitched, it's not the hemi tick, our 5.7 ram has that a bit noticeable. I mean, yeah the tick is there for 30 seconds or so but this noise is different, whine is really the best way to put it.

How are you liking the XR? I debated myself on that for a couple of months before placing the order but stuck with the standard for the axle ratio and the shocks. Plus, we have a shorter than normal garage door due to a storage loft that is in the garage so our clearance was already pushing it...

We got rid of the burning smell and it's less squeaky at low speed lots after some trail mudding. Still has a little startup whine but this thing is a monster. She looks much better now, more jeepy less pavement princess. :-) Installing the Winch today.

Yeah, hopefully the EV madness doesn't cause them to drop the 392, I don't think I can ever go back and it's only day 3. Skipped a work call and took her for a trail ride just now (I'm sure it's in the manual somewhere to slide it through mud and slap through the gears with the paddle shifters...

2023 Rubicon 392 in Sarge Green home in the mountains where she belongs. Ordered June 10th and picked up on December 17th. Traded in our 2019 Rubicon in Gunmetal Gray. - Had a "hmm, that's a bit greener than we anticipated" when we first saw it on the lot with 11 miles, but now that's she's home...

Yes, it was a primary factor, the town we are in has very hit or miss internet. It was like a needle in a haystack. My big priority was land and location, I couldn't really care about the dwelling as long as it was safe and habitable for the family. We had another first choice but had to pass...

It has its ups and downs. I spent a couple days HR onboarding at the local office and IT sent me on my way with monitors, dock, and laptop with an info sheet for the VPN and a slap on the butt. I fully understand that it WILL limit promotion and professional opportunities since I'm not "client...

Thanks, they are Boxmas breed (Boxer and English Mastiff mix). Brothers but totally different personalities, we adopted them a couple weeks before the move. They were only 10 weeks old during the road trip. They are excellent travelers now and all around great dogs, very large but very smart and...

It truly is a much better life. I posted this here because the Jeep was a core component to making the drastic plunge.

Depends on your profession. My wife works in psychiatry and her employer was wanting to tap the tele-psychiactry market so she said yes but only if she could live where she wants. I got lucky since my firm is national and the "local" office 3 hours away was amiable to me telecommuting so I only...

Yeah I hear ya there, ours are young enough so it wasn't too bad uprooting them, they are still adjusting to the small town though.

lol, it feels like that sometimes but no I assure you we are not in any involuntary hiding or protection program. We simply just got tired of raising our kids in the city and the opportunity to work remote for both of us fell in our laps so we decided to set out on a lifestyle adventure.

Background: We were living in a big city working professional careers and raising our kids. You know, the dealing with traffic, noise, and worst of all people, commuting hours a day but building that retirement account right... We drove a 2018 Tacoma and a 2018 4-Runner that never left the...
