  1. Blind Spot Detection Unavailable Error

    There are a few mountain roads I drive up that within a few yards give or take, I can predict when the yellow triangle will light up on one mirror followed by the other just up the road. Once that happens, the system gives me the 'sensors blocked' error. The first time I assumed they were...
  2. The Saddest day of the year is almost here again. 😥

    Living in Montana, I ditch the top just as soon as the snow stops flying, but I put it back on last weekend since bow season started. Nothing brings on an unexpected gully washer quicker then driving up in the mountains, parking, and going for a hike in the fall.
  3. To manual or not to manual?

    The 2024 model has a full float Dana 44 axle, thus the 5,000 lb. rating. If you had the time/money/skills to add a truss, beefed up "Overlanding" rated springs, and chrome moly axles, the current D44 would be fine doing 5,000 too. (But for that price/effort, you could get a Teraflex conversion...
  4. First time caught in the rain - pretty mild

    I roll all summer with nothing more then a JTopsUSA mesh for shade, and living in Montana is a dice roll when it comes to weather. It does absolutely nothing except turning large rain drops into small ones when driving slow, but as long as you're maintaining speed, no problems! It does a...
  5. STING GRAY Wrangler JL Club

    Last weekend we took a ride into the mountains, up some tr-roads that we had never been on before. Even though it's May, Montana had a lot of snow this last winter, and the run-off was still very present. I might be all alone here, but I'm kinda digging the new 'Limestone Splash' accent on the...
  6. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Although that is true, the third peddle Jeep owners sway much harder towards fervent end of the spectrum, vs. your casual "I drive a Jeep because I'm fancy" crowd... probably not the group you want upset with your brand.
  7. Would you buy half doors if they were made from plastic or similar material?

    Feeling the "inspiration" wheels turning in my head - instead of fiberglass over HDPE, one could take tube half-doors and do carbon fiber overlays. Light weight, tough as nails, and looks cool!
  8. Best ever license plate?

    SOMNIUM - Latin for 'Dream'
  9. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    The problem with that scenario is, Jeep (being a profit first mega-corp.) will dust of the JK clutch assembly plans and we're back to an OK-at-best clutch with minimal grabbing surface (single disk) and *increased vibration in the drive line (*possibly minimal, but the entire purpose of a dual...
  10. Jeep Wrangler unable to handle the curve! Crashes during Police pursuit

    I'm all sorts of curious what steering components that thing is equipped with! Straight down the Interstate is one thing, but taking the exit at warp speed, and running the stop sign at the top without rolling was next level... not to mention keeping it on the wheels sliding over the embankment...
  11. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    Assuming said people would turn in proof for reimbursement, those VINs would be tagged as 'corrected'.
  12. Set my expectations: Downsides to Jeep ownership

    Upsides and downsides can be one in the same, depending upon your views. You're going to have random people waving at you, throwing you compliments, and wanting to be your friend... with the occasional weirdo trying to throw you their rubber ducky. You're going to be spending more money on...
  13. Clutch Recall (2/23/23): Clutch Pressure Plate May Overheat -- Affecting 70,000 Manual Jeep Wranglers and Gladiators

    I thought the sleeve on the hose and dump the clutch "fix" was a cop out, and the "Software update" was even more of a joke. So fingers crossed, they do the right thing and replace the whole works and be done with it!
  14. If I saw this I would walk (run) away

    When I bought my '18 I had to drive 8 hrs. to Caldwell, ID (just north of Boise) to get one with a manual - it was like hunting for a unicorn, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.
  15. New update for 8.4 Uconnect radio

    Mine updated a week ago now. Upon driving it again the next day, the backup lines disappeared. Not a new problem, and they start functioning again eventually, but still annoying that it happens. Otherwise, nothing new.
  16. What do we think, northern Jeepers, is it Hardtop Time?

    I run a mesh top when it's nice, and drop on the hard top when the magic temp becomes a thing. What is the magic temp? It's the same answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything; 42.
  17. STING GRAY Wrangler JL Club

    I went back and forth on this as well for my 4 door, but decided to go with the black; sticking to the same look as the hardtop.
  18. Snow Stories .... How has your JL beasted through some of the white stuff??

    I see the snorkel works well for deep snow as well as water - duly noted!
  19. Who has taken their JL on a long road trip and what was your experience like?!

    I bought mine in Caldwell, ID and immediately went on a 1700 mile road trip. Went camping in Great Basin on Wheeler Peak, Red Rocks Canyon outside of Las Vegas, up to Jackson, WY to wild camp above Antelope Flats in the shadow of the Teton mountains, up through Teton and Yellowstone to home...
  20. STING GRAY Wrangler JL Club

    It's the end of May, and it decided to snow... and I refuse to put the top back on! #JeepLife
