Stellantis is shutting down the Cherokee plant at Belvedere, Illinois and is blaming the high cost of producing EVs. This doesn't affect me since I have my diesel JL, so I am ready for the apocalypse. However, I wonder how this will eventually affect the Wrangler 4xe if they can't keep the...

Has anyone had anything similar to this happen to them? Last week I attempted to install my Warn Zeon 12S onto a Warn winch plate that I bought from Amazon, and the mounting holes were off by 1/8th inch. Thinking that Amazon might have had a bad batch of winch plates, I placed a new order for...

I saw this on the Tube of You and thought it was funny. Then, of course, I had to search for the actual Bruce Springsteen Jeep commercial since I had no idea he was in any. Then I found out the original commercial was for the Super Bowl last year. Family Guy's version of the commercial was much...

I am turning my JLURD into a permanently dedicated overlander, and as part of that build, I pulled out my rear seats and installed Goose Gear in August. After about two months of contemplating, I have finally concluded that I will never reinstall these seats, so I will sell them. They are in...

My cousin posted this on Facebook. She works at Star CDJR of Abilene, Texas. Apparently they have a 392 they are selling at MSRP. If you are interested the contact info is in the screen shot.

I am glad he survived. The Jeep is probably a complete insurance loss at best. https://www.foxnews.com/us/arizona-man-rescued-floodwaters-getting-trapped-top-jeep-lucky-alive

(Edit: The build list is on post #7.) I ordered my Goose Gear set up on May 25th, which finally arrived on August 1st. Unfortunately, it took most of the day to install it because I was wasting time and moving slowly. However, I am pretty happy with how it turned out. My dog likes it because he...

Michigan has some insane liability laws.

This isn't mine, nor do I know the guy selling it, but some dude over on expedition portal has a nifty overlanding trailer made out of a Gladiator bed. Maybe someone might be interested in it. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/jeep-gladiator-truck-bed-overland-trailer.233055/

After a lot of planning I am finally getting around to ordering the things I will need to live out of my Jeep for the next few years. First in is my Starlink Dishy with portability plan. It arrived about 5 days after I placed my order. Austin is saturated until 2023 so a friend of mine came to...

I wasn't there, but my gut tells me the majority of the trouble makers were most likely the UTV side-by-side crowd. https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-topless-jeep-100-arrests-deputy-hospitalized

I am finally getting around to modding my JLURD, and I decided to go down the route of "pay once, cry once." A little background first. I sold my house, and I am currently selling off my business assets and shutting down the business, and I am going camping with my dog for at least the next two...

I picked up a Silver Zynith factory order at Gupton late January. Now that Gobi came out I wanted to see a comparison of the two colors so I pasted some screen grabs together from the Jeep website. We all know the online configuration tool does not accurately reflect what the colors actually...

I am looking for an off grid communication device. It doesn't necessarily have to have voice communication, but at a minimum it would need texting abilities. I am about a month away from starting my build on my JLURD, and my goal is to spend a lot of time away (Up to a week at a time.) from...

Yesterday, I hit 2000 miles on the odometer, and I wanted to let others know what they can expect as far as real world MPG on a 2022 JLURD. I know that this has been covered before, but I thought there might be some that would be interested in a recent example. My Jeep is still stock. Rolling...

I got my first duck yesterday on my way back home from Gupton. I stopped at Bec-ees in Temple, Texas to stretch my legs, and parked near a Gecko Gladiator with purple accents named "The Joker." When I came out this was on my door handle. I was pretty stoked and it made my day. If you are...

I had a few people ask me what the Zynith Silver color looks like up close in bright sunlight so I thought I would post a few up close pictures in a new thread for others not following my other thread to see. There is no "rainbow effect," it reflects pretty consistent across the body of the Jeep.

Today I picked up my new 2022 Zynith Silver Diesel Rubicon from Gupton CJDR. I arrived at the Nashville International Airport at 8am, and they had a driver already there waiting to pick me up. Everyone was pleasant, and made the process smooth. I will admit that I was concerned for the first...

I ordered my Jeep on Nov 27, 2021, and it was built on January 19th. My window sticker reflects the recent price increase, but Gupton CDJR price locked my order to November 27th. According to my build spreadsheet MSRP on Nov 27th was $61,105 for a new markup of $3,200. $FWP was $57,563. My...

I am looking for general opinions (pros and cons). I like aftermarket stubby bumpers with cutouts for round fog lights. I like the MOPAR version too but the aftermarket versions seems to have better approach clearances. I also like the clean look of recessed winches. I am not against top...
