    Why did the Military stop using Jeeps ?

    Exactly case in point - was talking with a few folks about this kind of nonsense. Seen one of these https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_Light_Tactical_Vehicle and was like - eh what exactly about this is light it weighs over 5 tons if i recall correctly - it does have decent payload and is...

    Why did the Military stop using Jeeps ?

    Jeeps have had 24V systems since the M38 other solid axle vehicles have had portals since day one - like the Gwagen (also used by foreign militaries). The Jeep J8 also has a diesel: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_J8 (basically a modded JKU) - also used by foreign defense agencies. Neither...

    Why did the Military stop using Jeeps ?

    Was just an observation at work - if you know how much one costs us tax payers and how mediocre they actually are (they do look cool though) i think you would care more - unless you just like someone else setting your money on fire. I added a TLDR.

    Why did the Military stop using Jeeps ?

    This one has really baffled me for some time. I remmember growing up and seeing old CJ's CJ5's and probably what really got me into Jeeps (Mash/M38A1). I was told that the payload of the M38A1 left room to be desired and it didn't have much space... ok if anyone here has been in a HMMWV can...

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

    This entire thing is a scam lol. There is nothing clean about battery tech - just because you do not see the lithium mines or the pollution that is emitted from the production of all the various components to produce the parts needed for these newer EV's/Plugin hybrids etc is nonsense. I mean if...

    SPEED GOVERNORS Coming to California

    Watching these kids drive is scary - they are literally doing 70+mph with their phone on their laps texting and posting on instagram. It's as if smartphones have become a part of human dna or something...

    SPEED GOVERNORS Coming to California

    I honestly was thinking of that ! All of the folks seem to be moving to TX and AZ but bringing their garbage politics with them - so a group of us should move back to CA and change it for the better is what I was thinking. *EDIT* i would have to sell so much to make that happen and we aren't...

    SPEED GOVERNORS Coming to California

    I am sure you seen the good days and probably witnessed the epic downturn(s) first hand lol. Just saying its become common for folks to point and laugh at CA and get a sense of joy of the failure its become, but for me it's just saddening. Elections and the politicians we choose definitely...

    SPEED GOVERNORS Coming to California

    I seen the homeless problem, crime problem and sanitation problem first hand lol (just glad I did not wear my nice watch or drive my own vehicle there). EVERYTHING was extremely expensive there - my impressions of LA was that it was a city that was uninhabitable except by the ruling/donor class...

    SPEED GOVERNORS Coming to California

    I know some people like to gloat and point at how bad its gotten there - but it really makes me sad. CA is a beautiful state with great weather, and used to be the Mecca of just about anything anyone could imagine. I am hoping that things improve soon - but I've already seen how retarded the...

    The Single Cab 392 Sold for Just $65,000 at Barrett-Jackson

    That is a steal - considering you can't even get a 392 for anywhere close to that figure.

    SPEED GOVERNORS Coming to California

    We are supposed to heat out to base in March (for work) - I was thinking of driving out that way but everything I've read and seen (and driving through LA last time was terrible (not going to get into all the details)) - not even including all the traffic. I remember growing up in Florida I...

    2024 Xtreme vs Xtreme Recon

    In addition when we were ordering my wife's JLU (she's changed her mind and has a new JTR now) the Xtreme Recon has a lift - was told it has the actual 2" Mopar lift from the factory and you have the option of getting 4.88 gears but 4.56 are standard - also semi floating/floating rear is...

    BRONCO Off-Roadeo??

    This is the one thing I never understood about Mopars ... I think Dodge used to have a thing they used to do with Neon ACR's and other performance cars... Ford has been good about showing owners what their performance vehicles could do in the past and it looks like they are carrying that on...

    Who else got a new Gladiator ?

    Once my son is in college and I have less property - i will probably be thinking the same as well.

    Who else got a new Gladiator ?

    It's almost like the 2dr JL doesn't even exist anymore (even though I love those as well - just not as practical for me).

    ACC BAR for 2024-Up JL Wrangler & JT Gladiator w/Roll Bar Air Bags NOW AVAILABLE

    Figured to ask (since I wasn't able to order for a bit) - got one in the pipe - not sure if my wife is going to want one yet - but she's been on a role with "Where is mine" everytime i order something for my JT - I am starting to feel bullied.

    Who else got a new Gladiator ?

    I haven't had any issues doing all the stuff the Wranglers do around me - in some cases the wheelbase has been an advantage. I remmember this kind of snobbery when the JKU's came out and people call them minivans and telling folks who bought them they couldn't tag along on runs because they...
