I get bored in traffic and my mind wanders to stupid mechanical questions at times. I often wonder, what would happen if I were to shift from N into a gear without the clutch while ESS has the engine off? Would it be the same as putting the transmission in gear with the engine off? Or would...

I've seen a couple of DIY threads about using the 48v battery, but curious if there are any commercial products on the market to tap the battery for powering on board accessories? Is that just not going to happen?

I wonder if this will be a viable emergency notification option https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/07/iphone-14-gains-satellite-sos-for-off-grid-emergencies/?guccounter=1&fbclid=IwAR1MHXIAdmnAc10ayVgv3NnkoecHhEzq9gtrJ5rxPdoWNZ_TB_IIRcCuMgo

Hatchet Overland's JLU camper is now in production. It's a brilliant design. After some emails and a lengthy call with one of Hatchet's founders, Craig Fisher, I pulled the trigger today for a November install when I will be traveling through Colorado. Very excited to get this installed!

Can anyone help a couple of refrigerator questions. The pitch of the JLU back seat makes measurements almost impossible! Looking at the Iceco VL45ProS. Will it fit on the driver's side with the rear seat up? If so, is there enough clearance for a slide? How about a Slide and Trailgator/table...

I see people grounding accessories directly at the negative terminal of the battery. I thought the preferred practice was grounding to the strip on the frame on the passenger side by the battery. Does it matter? Is there a preference depending on the draw of the accessory (compressor v. led...

I ordered a 6sp JLU Willys in April because I wanted my son to learn a few skills largely lost on his generation -- like how to shift gears, how to turn a wrench, and how to care for a relatively simple motor vehicle. Today was day one of Wrench Turning University. We started at 8:00 am by...

Ok, the 6 spd/3.6 is a lot of fun and I have zero complaints about the clutch. It is very fun to drive. The Willys JLU is still stock, so it's set up as the engineers intended. But what in the world is that 6th gear about? What were the Jeep engineers thinking? I was sure I would find a use...

If you haven't busted one yet, you're not wheeling hard enough! :CWL: These are like-new tail light assemblies I took off a two day-old JLU. $100 for the pair, plus shipping or pick-up in Houston. Prefer local pick up but I have Mopar boxes for them. These are plug & play with one bolt per...

I grew up in the '70s with older muscle cars, and a few, somewhat newer, sports cars. All of them had manual transmissions. The men I looked up to growing up all drove pickup trucks and Jeeps. They, too, all had manual transmissions, to the best of my memory. As I got a bit older, I bought...

Apparently, you can now build a 2023 Rubicon with a snorkle. Coming to a mall parking lot near me soon. :LOL:

I see lots of folks claiming that the driver wheel well location is too hot to mount an ARB compressor, but I suspect a lot have been installed and I haven't found anyone posting instances of compressor failures using the Grimm mount in the wheel well. Curious if anyone knows of any case of...
