  1. Power Steps PRO/CON

    I like them on our pickup truck. They open lower and farther out than fixed steps, making it easier for young kids and our dog to get in and out. They also tuck up nicely when driving. However, depending on your offroad needs, someone else would have to answer how resilient they are.
  2. Cracked windshield from cold?

    Check below the wiper blade for a small chip. I had that happen once at the top of the window, the chip was right below the trim, and when a little moisture gets in, the crack grows as it freezes.
  3. Tell me about your first Jeep.

    1999 Cherokee. My fiancé (at the time) had a Grand Am, and my brother had a coworker selling the Jeep. She drove it until 2011, then it was mine until 2017 when the wiring was rotting enough it couldn’t keep the camshaft signal. There was over 220,000 miles on it at that point. Picked up a...
  4. The clutch gang!

    I will, on a very rare occasion, pull out of 3rd to neutral while coming to a stop, but that's just being lazy on my part. And on my old Nissan truck I had, the only time I'd shift without the clutch is when I'd injured my left knee. As for saving the TO bearing, I think I was over 100k miles...
  5. What is the difference between Mopar App and Jeep App for iPhone?

    I have all three (UConnect, Jeep, Mopar), and really only use the UConnect. In all three though, I can see both my JLU and my wife's Ram. I think the Jeep (and Ram app when I had it) are just brand badging for the Mopar app.
  6. Manual Transmission Newbie’s

    I'm finding that if you need torque between 50 and 65, stay in 4th. This helps in hilly roads and in heavy traffic if you might need to accelerate fast. If it's flat or light traffic in the same range, I use 5th. I experiment with 6th, but mostly it seems to be best at flat highways over 75...
  7. Rocket Range Trail, Copper Harbor, MI

    It's absolutely available. The road actually shows up on Google Maps, and even on the UConnect display. Take US41 until the end, and keep going on the logging trails. There's a left turn that takes you to High Rock and Rocket Range. There are some private property areas, but they aren't...
  8. Squadbox Install

    The two main reasons I went with the SquadBox was that it was obvious it can support weight on the top (albeit that's from pictures showing someone standing on it), and I didn't need to buy any additional parts to install. Since I only have a soft top, the Diabolical would have required...
  9. So. Indiana to Traverse City Mi

    Growing up in the middle of the state, west of Bay City, I was always on the west coast. To me, it starts at Ludington, although my first trip to Silver Lake last year was nice as well. South of that is overpopulated with vacationers from Chicago. And the farther north you go, the better it gets.
  10. AC Leaking Water on Passenger Floor

    On a brand-new car, definitely need the dealer to address. But my old Cherokee, it was the drain hose. Blow some compressed air into it and the leak stopped.
  11. Squadbox Install

    I had an email from Tyler that had a PDF of instructions that included a BOM, and links to several videos for the in-vehicle install. These were geared for a JL. It came with the tracking number for the shipment.
  12. Squadbox Install

    I installed mine on Saturday, and also ran out of screws. Were you short the 1" Philips head? I had the quantity on the BOM, but not what was needed to install. After watching the video a few times, I finally figured out that the square pieces with an offset hole is a space between the side...
  13. Doggy Seatbelt

    https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0823KTRCR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 This one on Amazon has worked well for my Lab. The harness we use is from Cabelas.
  14. I love my manual Jeep, but...

    I probably hit the Hazard switch 3-4 times in the first few weeks, but none since then (picked up in June). And my biggest issue with the window switches in when my wife starts adjusting them while I'm trying to take off from a stop. I tend to say in 2 a lot longer those times! I'm at about...
  15. Show Off Your Scenic Jeep Photos

    Cliff Drive, Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula.
  16. Mirrors For Doors Off Question

    I went with the Lange Coyote mirrors. I like the way they install as opposed to the ones that go through the upper hinge, even though they were way more expensive. As for real world use, I haven't had a chance to try them much yet, but will have a better idea at the end of the month after...
  17. Beer / New & Favorites

    I'm by no means an expert, but I have fun with it! Feel free to message any time!
  18. Beer / New & Favorites

    It's really easy to get started. I first brewed 1 gallon from a company "Craft-A-Brew", and worked my way up from there. A first kit is about $50, plus a couple 4 packs of Grolsch for easy bottling (and to drink while you wait). Then I just added pieces here and there to get my batch sizes up.
  19. Beer / New & Favorites

    I was brewing extract/steeping for years, partial boil at first then full boil on a turkey burner. Last year I got an Anvil Foundry to do all grain in one vessel (I don't have a lot of space for storage here), and as an added bonus I can brew indoors in the basement, and use the dryer...
  20. Beer / New & Favorites

    I brew my own, so that's the majority of my stock. But I also support Michigan brewers, particularly Jolly Pumpkin, Old Nation, and a small place near my office in Wixom called The Drafting Table.
