Nooo! I am loving the 3.6. Nice engine, I have never owned a turbo and hope to never do so.
I will drive this wrangler till I cant buy gas anymore, then get an all electric one or convert this one.

A guy I work with converted an old 60s convertible mustang to all electric.. it really confuses people when he goes zipping past them with no engine sound lol
I don't think the turbo part of those engines is what caused the fires. It's more likely related to the mild-hybrid gimmick electrical system.

Hey guys what 35's go on stock Rubi wheel? 12.5?
They can and people do it but it is not recommended to put 35's or 315/70/17's on anything less than an 8.5" wide rim. I looked into it and am not doing it.

Anyone know of a manufacturer doing skids for a 2door? Artec makes nice aluminum ones for a 4 door but no love for the 2 doors.

Great shots! Back in the 80's I lived in my car for about 6 months around Santa Monica Beach. Pismo is up north, isn't it? West of Bakersfield?
I'm heading to one of our beaches down here tomorrow AM. Did you air down your tires any for the sand or just keep them at around 36-37 psi?

Good Morning Lydia! My Jeep has had a bath and I'm just waiting to go to work. And after that a cool monthly car show cruise in down the road at the Pizza place.

Any updates on Barta
Sometimes, the salt is the least of your worries... Stupidity can do more damage than salt... :)

HOW EMBARASSING! Trashed the Jeep quite badly. Crazy! And I’m sure that is not the worst trouble some get into!

I’m at the dealer getting my nail flat fixed. They have a wicked coffee machine, having my second cup!

When you start having to worry about when high tide is, you've probably screwed up...

Hi. Yes it's up north by Santa Barbara and yes I aired down because I rode the dunes. Btw jeep handled sand dunes like a pro...

Well, post a photo of it for @LydiaSP613 since she always seems so coffee-challenged each morning... :)

Funny how new tires seem to attract nails and screws so readily.

Not yet that I've seen. I'm hoping for something that doesn't add too much weight and allows me to keep from lifting my Jeep.

I haven't seen bikini tops or soft tops either, but I'm fairly sure we will have options by next year.

Talking about small Fiat a few days back... came across this one by my husband. We have actually seen 2 people lift one to place in a tight parking space. Wish I had a camera! Any smaller, they would be a Tonka

Too funny!
My trade-in for Stormie was a red FIAT 500! Lol!
