Being curious, I recently faffed around a bit with the Build-a-Bronco configurator. Per the image, the Ford equivalent of our 2.0T engine provides additional horsepower and torque ratings when Premium fuel is used. That's something that I don't ever recall being discussed on this site, nor is...

I've been consistently conservative where wheels and tires are concerned. To date, I've never replaced a factory wheel with an aftermarket selection, and replacement tires were always the same size (and oftentimes the same brand and model) as what the factory installed. I've decided to push the...

Happy Veteran's Day. -------------- The Senator for our district arranges an annual Veteran's appreciation event. I had intended to go on the motorcycle that wears the state-issued Veteran's plate. As it was below freezing, though, the allure of the Jeep's heater won and that's what I used...

And so it begins. "The workers are striking at a GM plant in Wentzville, Missouri; a Stellantis plant in Toledo, Ohio; and a Ford plant in Wayne, Michigan. Plants that were not called upon to strike will work without a contract, UAW President Shawn Fain said. 'The UAW Stand Up Strike begins at...

Per the thread title. O/A 25th August, with 56K on the odometer, I began to notice a speed-sensitive sound, in the form of a medium-pitch whine, coming from the front of the vehicle. A concurrent, mild vibration in the steering wheel also began to occur. I couldn't isolate the sound from the...

It's worth wondering if there's a opportunity for those folks who could be convinced to sell their Wranglers to the buyers who are desperate for a given powertrain configuration, but are now unable to place a factory order for a thus-far indeterminate period of time. As should be plain to all...

Bear and bulletproof travel trailer is ready for the roughest stuff In for a penny... Be sure to peruse the comments that follow the article, too.

As it concerns my powertrain warranty, I'll easily reach 60K before the five year anniversary rolls around. With that thought in mind, I have wondered what I might be tempted to do to my Jeep after the mental block of any remaining factory protection has fallen away. Here's what I've considered...

Now evident on the Jeep configurator site are two new options: Black vinyl floor covering for $995.00; and Heavy duty vinyl seats for $1,695.00. It's nice that Stellantis has decided to finally make available what was for many years the standard fitments for vehicles with what we might refer...

I was selected to test the Lasfit All-Weather floor mats, as originally announced here. My review follows. --------------------- The mats were packed in a sturdy box, which provided reasonable protection against the rigors of shipping. I decided to frame this review as a sort of comparison...

Concerning family, we split the difference during the holidays. My wife's family live in northwest-ish PA, so we visit them for Thanksgiving, where an early gift exchange also occurs. Christmas is spent with my people here in South Central. Anyway, my sister-in-law tucked an Amazon gift card...

I recently had a good conversation, covering a variety of automotive-related subjects, with a retired mechanic who seemed to be pretty squared away. Wanting to use him as a sounding board on the issue, I mentioned my long-term concerns regarding GDI-derived carbon build-up and, e.g...

...translates to $18K in 2022. Coincidentally, a new base model Roxor (arguably, the spiritual successor of this 1961 Jeep) retails for ~$20K.

I've been maintaining my vehicles, to include repairs and accessory installation, for 30+ years now. Continuing this M.O. with my Wrangler, albeit on a modest scale thus far, has compelled to think about how much longer I can reliably slide around on a concrete floor, or an asphalt driveway...

Payment: PayPal Goods & Services Ships to: CONUS Ships via: USPS $110.00, shipped. For sale is a new-in-wrap Hike It X9 pedal controller. Model #HI-589. This device installs inline between the vehicle's accelerator and the ECU, using OEM-style connectors for quick plug-and-play installation...

The Wrangler is surprisingly absent. I say that because I've two documented purchased offers (Carvana, Vroom) for my JLU that exceed the price that paid for it, new. I'm hardly the only forum member to have received such offers, too. Article The price premium follows the percentage. 1...

Our Wranglers can't tow a 5th wheel, but pulling a loaded motorcycle trailer should be well within the vehicle's wheelhouse. How do you roll when four wheels pulls two? (or three, as I sometimes do.) ---------------------- Port-A-Chopper Dual motorcycle trailer. Torsion suspension, steel, 550...

This isn't strictly an inquiry about towing, so I'll park the thread here for the time being. I've an almost-new Versahaul that I used just twice in conjunction with my now-sold truck. That vehicle had a 500 lb. tongue rating, which allowed me to safely carry a 350 lb-ish dual sport. The Curt...

An inquiry inspired by this thread. Consider the Bronco Sport, which is essentially an Escape with a body kit. Something that is accessible and relatively affordable when compared to the uparmored (stop laughing!) Bronco. What say you as it concerns the prospects of a Wrangler "Sport" that...

Let's go back in time. I think it's natural to look back on the choices we've made, and at least analyze them, if we're able to avoid the temptation to second guess things. With that in mind, I do sometimes compare my JLU to the Ridgeline that preceded it. Today's trip down memory lane was...
