  1. B&M Manual Precision Shifters: Honest Review with Notes and Links on Purchasing and Installation

    I second @ALRUI 's recommendation. A tap/die set is as easy to use as a socket set, always good to have in the garage, and you'd be surprised how many times you'll find a use for it. Plus you can tap the holes for a more common pitch. A good set can be had at Harbor Freight. And I'd wager...
  2. B&M Manual Precision Shifters: Honest Review with Notes and Links on Purchasing and Installation

    A year in and still the best Wrangler mod I've ever done. Very sturdy shifters.
  3. B&M Manual Precision Shifters: Honest Review with Notes and Links on Purchasing and Installation

    That is the most meticulous part of the install. Like any set screw, very easy to cross thread. My advice is to work it from the driver's side (not looking over the shifter from the passenger side, which is what I tried first!). I used a small magnetic screwdriver, but what I've found to work...
  4. Stellantis is buying back my "lemon" Wrangler 4xe. They're not giving me a dime for my post-sale accessories. Does that sound right?

    Short answer, yes, that's right. Over the years, and for many reasons, I've gravitated toward bolt-on accessories so that I can easily send it back to stock if I want to. MOPAR accessories or not, it's our decision to modify the rig.
  5. Can I wax my Jeep two days after a wash?

    Every time you wash a Jeep the gods kill a puppy.
  6. New Jeep and the floorboard is a bathtub

    I've driven Wranglers for almost 20 years and the leaking really seems to me to be be hit and miss across all models, tops, and builds. Had a 2007 JK no leaks. 2009 JK leaked a little between the Freedom panels. 2021 Willys leaked like a wicker submarine (but the dealer fixed it after a couple...
  7. No ETorque for 3.6l/auto for 2024?

    Thanks for this! I'll wait to see if I pull the trigger on a '24. If not, I'll give it a try with my current rig.
  8. No ETorque for 3.6l/auto for 2024?

    Yes, you're correct. I did not mean to conflate the two like that. I merely bypassed the ESS in the engine bay, but deleting the extra batt is enticing.
  9. No ETorque for 3.6l/auto for 2024?

    From software engineering (not mechanical) I still find much to agree with here. Simple systems are better (French for "more reliable") systems. I rode BMW motorcycles for years and they are as overly-engineered as HP printers, meaning when they are operating in spec they are outstanding. But...
  10. New pizza cutters installed: 255/80r17 = 33.3"x10

    Look great to me. That tread/width will work great in snow and will be a lot better on the road than the wider ones. Looking good!
  11. Is Dark Harbor Blue going to be a new JL color? (POLL included)

    I wouldn't say it's the blue I've been waiting for, but I'm definitely not "meh" about it, so I have skewed the poll results slightly high (could have used at least one additional category in the choices). I like it. And the orange seats look great with it. The problem is, if a lot of people...
  12. B&M Manual Precision Shifters: Honest Review with Notes and Links on Purchasing and Installation

    Congrats, Tim! I was pretty sure you'd like them. I haven't even tried the transfer case yet but I think you're right; the higher knob just seems more ergonomic than trying to get to the lower handle. Enjoy!
  13. Why doesn’t Jeep offer cool colors?

    I had a 2009 Sahara JK that was Deep Water Blue and I don't think I'll ever have another vehicle that will get more compliments. I genuinely miss walking out into a parking lot and seeing that blue. Loved it so much I nearly had later Jeeps wrapped in something similar. No offense to current...
  14. Let's be honest here...

    This is where I'd normally post a "This guy gets it!" meme, but this forum's HOA would just remove it.
  15. Let's be honest here...

    Forget the haters. I get it. On my run through the neighborhood, I regularly pass by (and envy) a house with an attached three-car garage and a detached two-car garage with a shop upstairs. Oh what I could do with such a layout.
  16. B&M Manual Precision Shifters: Honest Review with Notes and Links on Purchasing and Installation

    Glad to hear it, Tim. You won't be disappointed. I've had them for a month now and I like them better every day. Improved my overall driving experience. Everyone that gets in the Jeep likes them. As mentioned above, note that the shift range cable (one in the center) has the tab on top to...
  17. Invest in a dash camera.

    Evidence is funny like that. But what you do with evidence is solely between you and your attorney. Personally, I like to be in the position of having options.
