    The CYBERTRUCK : What do You Think of It?

    Stolen from somewhere else but - this is going to be kinda messy to do in a wrangler (so yes a 5ft bed can be useful)...

    The CYBERTRUCK : What do You Think of It?

    Yeah its not a 1 ton truck.... nor is it as big as one and i wouldn't expect it to be. I already owned one of those - however if you need something that will tow a smaller trailer and 1k lbs or so of payload or so its more than capable - I used my last JT to redo the flooring in my home (vinyl...

    The CYBERTRUCK : What do You Think of It?

    Hey now - a JT can do all the truck things.... (actually better than other midsize trucks).

    The CYBERTRUCK : What do You Think of It?

    It's like a truck ... but for the gender confused - pretty much how I feel about all ev trucks. They can't haul/tow for long distances... they suck at going off the beaten path.. what is the point of making a EV truck if it sucks at doing truck things ? It's really just trying to identify as a...

    LOVE IT or HATE IT? JEEP's New Slogan - “Zero Emission Freedom”

    But man bear pig.... I thought Al Gore said that by 2012 California would be underwater or some nonsense like that. Then they said 2020 ... and here we are... So sick of the sensationalism.

    Accuair Drawbacks ?

    Yes I have and I called Accuair earlier today - I am almost fully sold on this. Was just wanting to install this myself - but it looks like the install is going to be a bit more involved. The other thing i like about this is you have onboard Air so no need for an arb air compressor. I also had...

    Accuair Drawbacks ?

    Hauling: I plan on loading it up with lawncare stuff every now and again, wood and stuff for small projects i'll have to do. (1000 lbs would be pushing it for me). Towing: I do have one use case where I will be towing ~5k lbs over 5k miles but will probably not tow anywhere near that. I also...

    Accuair Drawbacks ?

    I am still weighing this out in my head. I am thinking that 4.5" For what i'll be doing is overkill and something like the Clayton Overland 3.5" setup will be fine - or obviously the accuair setup. If i go accuair - i can save the $3k or so I'd want to spend on rock slide engineering powered...

    rear locker indicates locked

    My understanding is - you still can't buy the sensor separately, or the locker, and dealers have been replacing whole axle assemblies to remedy this (way overkill). I already ordered these and plan on keeping them in the glovebox when they arrive. *EDIT* - Was wondering if i just install...

    WAYALIFE Old Iron Recovery Rig

    It was cool while it lasted - i traded my '21 Willys in on that one. Lifters let me down and also tuning them is impossible without a PCM/ECU swap (which is a pain to do). So much easier to work on my Gladiator - i miss the sound, fuel economy and the diesel smell .... and the $35k i lost on...

    WAYALIFE Old Iron Recovery Rig

    That is one of the better/best diesels to buy. I traded in my last glaidator on a '22 Ram 2500. A few parts fell off of it - and after several dozen revisions i had something that actually worked ... then the lifters on it started to fail (a sound I was told and others that was just injector...

    Hello! Newbie from Maryland - 2011 JKU Sahara

    Welcome, I am in VA (not that far from you probably) - I frequently travel from Central-ish VA to Aberdeen (Proving Grounds), Bethesda, Quantico etc...

    Accuair Drawbacks ?

    I have been researching what lift I wanted for a while and I initially came down to an evo 4.5" enforcer lift or a metalcloak 4.5" long arm lift (it looks like it works great - but the JT can't really deal with load or towing - so you throw that out the window with that setup). I came across...

    What is this thing?

    It's a added crash bar - to prevent tire intrusion/injury in a very specific small overlap case. Essentially you would have to hit a concrete pole at just the right corner for that thing to even matter.

    I was supposed to be ordering a 2DR

    I was going for Sarge Green - but no dealer near me had one :( - my 2nd choice was black - which is proving to be a pain to keep looking good - i should have just went with white.

    Why did the Military stop using Jeeps ?

    I've seen J8's oversees - most forces aren't even interested in a hmmwv's ... Were these the ones with Angry Grills ? They do have a more menacing look to them. IIRC all J8's are diesels none of them are required to have dpf/scr so a non issue. If i was building something doomsday proof...

    Why did the Military stop using Jeeps ?

    Fair enough - you can pretty much toss the keys to a hummer to anyone and they will figure it out with little to no instruction and if they don't - they won't be flipping it. Was that really worth a 1/4 million dollars though ? Then again the M151 is what I thought earned that reputation the...

    Why did the Military stop using Jeeps ?

    ahh yes - i don't get what folks like about milspec so much it really is just "bottom bidder" stuff. To me the hummer just makes absolutely no logical sense. A slight bigger jeep would have did everything hte hummer does and costed way less upfront and the upkeep.

    I was supposed to be ordering a 2DR

    My Wife's JT is pretty loaded up we paid $53k OTD i believe it was ( we got hers the other week - she wnated a JLU - but liked the way the JT drove and the deals are too much to resist) - hers has just about every option except hte bedliner - which she changed her mind and wants linex'd now...

    I was supposed to be ordering a 2DR

    Yes it is a hell of a great deal for the diesel. I bought mine for what was $47k OTD I believe (3.6, no LED lights no 110v outlet in bed no headliner) no dual top/dual doors but otherwise pretty loaded up.
