Beware the Little Trees!!!

[roaniecowpony]

This thread reminds me of the old days, when people put Armour-All on their dash, all the time, and the dashes would crack all to hell. Way back then, I was too strapped for money, to afford wiping everythind with that stuff, and would just use a damp cloth. But, I was smart enough to know what UV Rays can do to plastics. I always used a Windshield sunshade, and that kept things from cracking. I don't like adding chemicals inside the cab, if I don't have to.

Yeah that Armor All stuff would coat the windshield and windows (and everthing else I suppose) inside when it evaporated from the sun heat. You couldn't give that stuff to me.

Purple sage and/or juniper (ashe junpier is a good variety) are the best scents in a Wrangler: natural potpourri if you will. Go out, off road, and get you some. Spread liberally upon the rear floor and under the front seats. Change as often as possible—

They both grow in abundance here. All I need to do is open the windows or remove the top!

I like to keep my rig clean (except during Canadian winters, cause that sucks for washing) as well. In saying that, I have never owned a vehicle more than 5 years. This current jeep will most likely be the first but it will still be under 10 years I suspect (based on retiring to Europe).
I will wipe down with anti UV a few times a year for sure though. I guess I like keeping it nice for the next owner. Lol. Seriously though, a well maintained vehicle will always sell for more. I keep all the boxes for high end electronics as well for resale.
I actually look forward to the detail that comes with spring. Usually means softtop is also going back on as well.

Yes, I was looking at some of those carbon fiber overlays online last night!!! They actually look pretty sharp. My only problem is that if I go that route, I wouldn’t want to just do one piece, but multiple pieces across the whole dash and center console! My wife was like “oh no you don’t!”

Update - So I decided to go the carbon fiber route and just ordered up “a few nice trim pieces” for the interior… wife not happy about it understandably… But I have the best wife in the world, and I had to promise no more Jeep “upgrades” going forward. Tough deal to make since it’s only January… but really it is fair. I need to stop!

And these upgrades are less cost in total than getting that one replacement piece from Mopar! The Jeep has gotten more than its share of love in the last couple months. I’m done.

(Yeah yeah I know… many have said that before and failed miserably, but for real.)

I’m partial to sage brush. Was lucky enough to have grown up with my Great Grandfather still around. He was a real actual Cowboy from 1920’s Southern Utah. Went by the name of “Sagebrush” and even in his 90’s always had a sprig in his shirt pocket. The smell brings back really great memories.

I used to love trees before owning a Jeep but now they are quickly rising up my shit list! I was attacked by an unruly gang of them last week.

Early on, I damaged my 2018 gearshift indicator bezel. It runs a couple hundred bucks online.
Floor Console, Front - 2021 Jeep Wrangler (moparpartsgiant.com)

It's not all that difficult to change, but I have the Tech Authority (OEM) service manual that shows how to do it. If you buy it online and DIY, post back and I'll relay the steps to you.

Where'd you get the manual? I had one for my old XJ and loved it.
