Does the law provide for cash buy out or just an exact replacement Jeep?? Had a friend go through it with a Cadillac and ended up with a much more expensive new car.

Seriously looked at the 4xe last year. Gave up on it when I figured out the actual cost to recharge the batteries via house current. With Hawaii's very expensive electric rates would have had to install solar on the house to justify the 4xe. Most of my driving would be on the battery but at...

Don't if the above comment was meant as a joke but you be sure that he is not growing his own coffee in San Diego County. Coffee requires a rather unique tropical rain/sun pattern with light winds and rain when the coffee is flowering. Something that is entirely foreign to SoCal. I'm a...

Believe you can go to 35’s on a non Rubicon by changing front fenders to Rubicon ones.

Tesla is making a profit not on selling cars but selling electric car offsets to the other car manufacturers. If the electric car credits go away Tesla is in trouble. Dealer I check regularly used to advertise about a 10% discount from MSRP. Just checked and they are now advertising less than...

To get full battery charge you need to put something over 16KW of electricity back into a 1% charged battery is what I understand. To figure actual fuel costs you would need to multiply say 17kw times the cost per kwh of the electricity. Our KWH costs are among the highest in the country at...

For those having problems or worries about loosening body bolts, you might try the jumper cable trick to heat the bolts. The beauty of it is you only heat the bolt directly. No burned up paint or nearby rubber/plastic bushings. Have used the rick with great success removing SS fasteners from...

Kenda Tire makes am RT tire in 35/10.5/17. Good looking AT type tire and price is good at around $200. Toyo open Country AT III comes in 35/11.5/17. 285/75/17 tires with 11.25" width is a 34" tire size that should turn up a lot of other mfg. There is a thread on this site under 'Pizza...

I've been going round and round with Willys vs Rubicon questions. I don't want the roll bar disconnect as I'd rather have a Currie or SwayLok. Would like an electric actuated OX diff. Lock because of its manual backup. Would probably go with 35" tires so Rubicon 33's will be replaced. Would...

If I bought one would probably only use the ICE when I went wheeling. Almost all my driving is less than 25 miles roundtrip. That and the $7,500 tax credit makes the truck a great deal. Still deciding whether the extra 800 pounds will significantly effect the off road ability and gas mileage...

What are those steel wheels and where did you get them??? Have a thing for steel wheels and those look really good.

Where did you get and what are those steel wheels?? Have a thing about steel wheels from my Series Landrover addiction and those look great.

One of the U-tubers who tackles really over the top rock climbs is doing it on 37's with the stock unreinforced mount for the spare. He says the problems with the stock setup is the tire bottoming on departures. He uses a bent piece of square tubing in the hitch receiver to take the blows of...

My not a Jeep proximity door locks can be programmed to unlock all the doors rather than just driver's. Might dig into the manual and see if Jeep gives you the option.

The frame is what needs the protection and that rusts from the inside out. You want a liquid that is thin enough to spray inside the frame through any unfilled holes and flow throughout. The Brit's had a product called Waxoil that was paraffin and beeswax with a petroleum based solvent that...

I'm going with 10.5"-11.5" wide tires so hopefully they will fit without a lift.

The maintenance issue with the LSD that comes in the jeep is that it uses clutches to force torque to the non wheel spinning axle. Those clutches will wear out and the quicker the more you force them to act. 50,000 miles before needing a rebuild is a figure I've heard but don't know whether...

Does anyone know whether the Dana 210-220 fitted to JLU Diesels are the wider Rubicon axles or are they the stock JLU width?? Assume the Rubicon axles are wider to fit fatter tires without spacers. Apparently 35/12.50/17 tires will fit a Rubicon on stock rims and wondering if that's the case...
