    Random Internet Shit you've come across

    Yes - Literally every day I get atleast 2 emails about some DEI related stuff. If you can be a DEI hire - they will fast track you in. Merit and credentials do not mean jack anymore - they want to fill the varied identity checkboxes. I guess you can always self-identify as (insert x minority...

    OBD2 Readers. Possibly JScan

    Tazer was the first thing I did as soon as I arrived home from the dealer. I just switched from Halogen headlights and tailights to led units - will do the DRL's when they arrive and the foglights this weekend. They are EXPENSIVE you are going to spend well north of $2k or so replacing all of...

    Long Drives

    I remember that video series (JL/JT experience I believe) at 8MPG and 40s hell no and I see your point. All/Most of the stock stuff on mine will be replaced in due time so I am not really worried about wear and tear.

    Long Drives

    Not sure why folks would shy away from long drives with a JT. The biggest complaint I had was with seat comfort. Seat jackers make a noticeable improvement. I can sit for 2hrs + without wanting to jump out of the thing (from aches/pain). Would highly recommend (not sure about linking...

    Have any of you guys thought about or have done a V8 swap ?

    Motech is on my list to call next. Have a spreadsheet open with a list of things I want to do with my JT now and i've started to organizing in phases - i think if I am going to do this it would be ideal to get this done first so I don't have to redo springs, driveshafts, axles and other items...

    I think you hit the nail on the head :).

    Have any of you guys thought about or have done a V8 swap ?

    Only way I am getting another vehicle is if its a Harley lowrider st is a bit enticing - but a touring bike would make more sense for that kind of riding. Or if i really need a 1 ton truck (key word being need). I love me a V8 (partial to chevy v8s - the hemi's are cool but really love the LS...

    Have any of you guys thought about or have done a V8 swap ?

    Hey there are those who Like/Love JT's and then there are those who are just wrong. :ROFLMAO: Just because I want more power doesn't mean I don't love my JT.

    Have any of you guys thought about or have done a V8 swap ?

    The only other thing I've seen with the LT's is the intake valve/ports carbon build up - which is common with most/all DI engines and biggest reason why some manufactures now run both DI and port injection. I had this happen on a couple beater cars I was using (all were direct injected). The 10...

    Have any of you guys thought about or have done a V8 swap ?

    Did that - and burned through countless shitboxes, ford fiestas, chevy cruzes etc. I expense my mileage, fuel etc so not worried about that so much. Also in the great state of VA - they rape you for property tax on vehicles and I don't feel like paying $1500 additional a year (in property...

    Have any of you guys thought about or have done a V8 swap ?

    Not sure what Motech's figures are - but was told to budget atleast $45k for a 392 swap. AMW will not even sell you a setup unless you are an authorized installer (so DIYers are SOL). Was told they maybe able to do a non MDS engine (I would in no way want a MDS hemi). If anyone was looking into...

    Have any of you guys thought about or have done a V8 swap ?

    The Problem: I have made my first round of my round trip 220 mile commute earlier this morning and I noticed that while it feels like I have more power than day 1 (it has about 5k miles on it now). It has to scream to maintain speed up some of the hills/grades that I am going up -...

    High pitched engine noise on '22 Gladiator

    That has to be annoying as all hell - i could deal with the door lock issue for a bit - but that sound would drive me crazy. I am not sure if its me but it seems like every 22 model year vehicle (domestic anyway) has had issues.

    Euro/aero fender removal

    I think that's the first thing most people do that have these on (at least here in the states) is unbolt and toss those pieces in the dumpster - they can be unbolted and removed without needing to cut anything. Side Note: Can you imagine being the engineer tasked with designing this -...

    Integrated Windshield Radio Antenna - Yea or Nay?

    I think its a wasted effort - and they could have just spent the effort elsewhere (more seat padding maybe ? ) and left it alone, or maybe gave us a stubby antenna ? Or just pocketed the money.

    Random Internet Shit you've come across

    The whole transgender thing to me is just a cop-out by lazy psychologists and psychiatrists to just make their delusion a reality (which can never really happen) - so they tell everyone that they should live within their fantasy so they can avoid trying to do their jobs and actually help these...

    Random Internet Shit you've come across

    This is why i don't watch any sports anymore - i don't care who ran how many yards in one play or who said what to who or what team picked up what player... They are mostly a bunch of soul-less mindless morons (NPCs). No thanks. I'd rather read a book, watch anything else on tv, watch paint...
