    DEALERSHIP EXPERIENCE - Do You Give Straight 10s?

    Honest reviews, and I always say in the comments that the dealer stated perfect 10s or it's considered a poor review. I hate getting surveys, and ignore most. I replied to the last Mopar one on a warranty fix after the 3rd reminder. I didn't rate the dealer, but filled out the comments and...

    Voltage in a Wrangler

    That makes sense in these more computer driven cars. I have been a bit paranoid on alternator issues since having to leave my Xterra on the trail 4 times in a 2 month period and field replacing the alternator. The OEM failed on a very muddy trail with multiple deep water crossings. Nissan...

    Windshield...

    Not a replacement topic... Is the ability to fold down the windshield a pointless feature in modern Jeeps? Have you folded down your windshield? Why would you fold it down? Show pictures if you have.

    VIDEO : Tracking Down Noise on a ProRock 80 Axle and what it Took to Fix It

    I loath air lockers. It seemed every 2-3 weekend trips, I would be replacing the seals in my old Xterra if I wanted the rear locker to be reliable.

    Creede to Ouray to Moab

    Honestly, I could live without the swaybar for highway driving. For how I drive the jeep vs how I drive my WRX, a swaybar is not needed. It's a jeep, not a sports car.

    Voltage in a Wrangler

    I don't know why I noticed the voltage while on the weekend off-roading trip. It hovered between 13.0 to 13.2. It didnt seem to increase with higher RPM. This seemed low based on previous vehicles that hovered closer to 14 and move more with RPM. In the morning, the voltage would go to the...

    Creede to Ouray to Moab

    So back to the rubber binding and clunking noise I heard on day 2. At camp at the reservior I started looking at bit more at the front end and discovered the source of the clunking. The nut for the driver's side sway bar link vibrated free, likely on the Stony Pass wash boards. I didnt see it...

    Creede to Ouray to Moab

    Rim Rocker is a 160 mile group of trails from Montrose to Moab and a new virtual B.O.H. trail. Not many pictures as it was a lot of gravel at a quick pace. Stopped at Buckeye Reservior for the night. Finished Rim Rocker to La Sal Pass into Moab.

    Creede to Ouray to Moab

    Then Cinnamon, Corkscrew and California Passes and the kale at the end of Poughkeepsie Gulch. I didn't do Poughkeepsie Gulch this time as there was a log jam of trucks at the wall and it was likely muddy making it very difficult and I wanted to do Black Bear and Ophir Passes before heading to...

    Creede to Ouray to Moab

    The weather was getting worse. I wanted to do Black Bear, but that's a no go when wet. So went to Mineral Creek (western part of Engineers Pass) Got to this old mining building I took a picture of my new Xterra, so tried the same picture with the new Jeep, about 22 years and lots of...

    Creede to Ouray to Moab

    Took a trip over Labor Day weekend to run a few trails. The original plan was to meet two other rigs in Creede, CO and travel Stony Pass to Silverton. The other 2 couldn't make it last minute, so I went by myself. Traveled from Denver to Lake City and over Slumgullion Pass. The Matterhorn...

    Power Tools

    I only had Ryobi. It is ok for what I did. When I 1st tried installing my lift, I tried removing the 1st LCA bolt and couldn't get it to budge. Home Depot had a deal going on with Milwaukee. Buy a 2 m18 battery kit for $299 and get a free tool. I picked the compact 1/2 compact, initially...

    Old but new tires

    When i worked at Pep Boys, they would not install tires older than 5 years regardless of tire condition. The Firestone shop across the street had the same policy. Likely most chain shops gave the same policy. Independent installers may install based on tire condition. I did have 10 year old...
