CR, CNN, ABC, WAPO, NYT, WSJ, FOX, they all the same…. Bad info, poor info, bought info. The Best way to find out about a vehicle is to join the owners group…. I was hot for a JLU until I found the paint bubbles issue…that data is only available in this here forum. i can give them a pass...

The true constants in life: Death, Taxes, and Karens…

Asking if a factory option is worth it is a waste of time… fun for sure, but still a waste. Is a $100 steak dinner worth it? Is First Class airfare worth it? Are $1000 Golf lessons in Florida worth it? Best to take ownership and look at the value the purchase has for you. Each one of us...

We live in a day and age where we will soon be required to wear helmets on any activity that requires you to stand up. The government and big business is now in charge of our “safety and security” and we have to comply on “pain of death”. The “safety groups” in cars are aligned with that...

I am the OP and appreciate the fine responses and view points on this here topic. I got to think as to why my build spec changed so much and figured the root cause as “Group Thinking”. In essence, I was letting the Group drive my decisions on what Factory Options are WORTH having in the spec...

The sure fire way to make a small fortune in Jeep ownership is to start with a large fortune and then A) buy a Sport or Sahara and convert it into a Rubicon, or B) Buy a Rubicon XR and gut it to get a new lift, wheel, and tires.

I joined this forum to help me understand the factory options available to put together a build sheet. During all my research I found multiple threads that look at options by asking if “option X is worth the $”. I too rapidly fell into that rabbit hole and created my own Excel sheet listing...

Don't forget to take the doors off and put the left foot on a door pedal while driving around the burbs.... that applies to all colors.

The Jeep website clearly shows both 3.6L engines with no covers. The two best engines, the 2.0T and 3.0T have them. Time to let this dead horse rest.

You are in the right area of the country for EV friendly ambient temperatures and tax credits so that is a Yuge plus. I would say join the 4xe forum and bone up on the common gripes of the hybrid platform, specifically the FORM mode where EV is not available for long periods of time. The goal...

A sure way to make a small fortune in Jeep ownership is to start with a big fortune and A) Buy a Sport or Sahara and upgrade it to a Rubicon, or B) Buy a Rubicon XR and upgrade it to 37s, wheels, and a lift.

Its a young TJ with 27K miles... The 4.0 not even broken in. But my EV charger is just inches away from where the 4xe would have been parked.... :(

I spent many hours on the 4xe forum and the one common denominator is that 4xe owners believe the 4xe should run in battery only (EV mode) and when the battery drains out the Jeep will run on gas. Much like a power generator at home when lights go out the generator kicks in and when the lights...

Check the Expiration Date so you don't end up with some old tires.... Look for the manufacture week-year code on the tires to ensure they were made in this decade or at least the end of last one. Tires older than 10 years are considered expired and must be replaced, then again YMMV and what the...

Sounds like a good build... Two things on my mind. 1. Winter package is nice but is also expensive at $845 MSRP. It is worth having in the northern latitudes where temps go in the 30's for more than a few months and can be put to a good use. On the other hand if the wife says get it... well...

Too late for the OP but MYCAR (mycarcontrols) is where its at... I have it in the Acura MDX ... It even shows you where your car is parked and if you have multiple cars you can manage them all with the app's garage feature. We use the app strictly since you can remote start from anywhere in...

One thing to keep in mind is the loss of the "tax credit" when the old vehicle is "traded in" as part of the sales transaction since most states have a 5% or 6% sales tax on car purchases. This is an important consideration with high value cars being replaced. If your Jeep is worth $30K and...

Not to be a Debbie Downer but there are no guarantees in life. The Jeep could be stolen or damaged in a crash, vandalized, or just hit by a natural disaster. The tranny or engine could granade on you. Selling the Jeep means saving on insurance, maintenance, and gas too. The funds could be...

Where do y'all shop... years ago I did my VW TDI turbo and bought it new for well under $400... I found a new replacement for a 2019 model for $421. What am I missing? These turbos are not exotic and are mass produced. Do I have the wrong part? Most people don't keep cars that long anyway...

No offense and apologize if it was offensive to anyone. I am totally serious with my Jeep Model selector Workflow. If the money is there and the vehicle will be used mostly as a suburban 4x4 luxury mobile with some mild trail work thrown in then the Sahara lineup is a great option with the LSD...
