    Where the hell’s the spare....

    My son hit a curb with his Cherokee. No problem... just put on the spare.... only, there is no spare - just a pump and a bottle of patch goo it sprays in the tire. He ended up having to be towed to a local repair shop. They put what they had on the wheel - a Bridgestone Dueler H/L. The...

    Gotta Love My Family

    I was taking the family out to dinner last night and, when I got in the Jeep, I found this: I immediately accused Son Number 3 - the joker of the group. Wife and Son Number 2 started laughing. Poker faces they don’t have. They told me they got it at the dollar store and I should just throw...

    ABS & Traction Loights

    ABS & Traction Lights A couple of days ago, the ABS and traction lights started coming on right after I would start driving. They usually go back off within a minute or two and then stay off until the next time I started the Jeep and began driving. I haven’t changed anything on the...

    Daily Picks

    I am using the iPad app. When I turn off the "Daily Pick" push notification, it keeps turning itself back on. The other push options seem to work fine. Does anyone else have this issue? Sent from my iPad using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Floorboard Coating

    I swapped my soft top for my hard top a couple of weeks ago. We then had eight days of rain. Needless to say, the hardtop leaked around the freedom panels. I had standing water in the front and rear floorboards. It's not the first time this has happened (again, no surprise). I pulled the...

    Loop Road - Big Cypress Preserve

    I had been told to check out Loop Road in Big Cypress Preserve about an hour west of downtown Miami. Tamiami Trail was a road built in the 1920's connecting Miami to Florida's west coast. The Loop Road was an alternative route that was not used. It remains today as about a 24 mile long road...

    Times Change

    We used to say the world was held together with duct tape and baling wire. I guess it's now zip ties. [AIT sensor connector keeps popping off. Not anymore.]

    Soft Top Question

    So, I was doing about 80 or 85 down the interstate and noticed a gap between the passenger side of the soft top and the door surround. It wasn't there at 75 but every time I sped up, it reappeared. I don't know if it was on the driver's side or not (I wasn't going to try to look over the...

    Clunck in Right Front End

    I have noticed a clunk in my right front end. It seems to happen when I take turn over a bump (like a driveway curb). I jacked up the front end. There was no slop when I tried to move the wheels. All the bolts are properly torqued. The only thing I noticed is that the tie rod and track...

    River Raider Expedition Snorkel Install

    I have a 2015 JKU Sahara. I hydrolocked it at about 8000 miles - the pothole was deeper with a sharper drop-off than I expected. And, I was going to fast when I hit it. The insurance company replaced the engine (less the deductible) and I learned a lesson. Since I got it back, however, I've...

    Rust Prevention

    I'm doing some work that involves drilling holes (about 3") through some body panels. Is it sufficient to paint the edges and chips with touch-up or should I do something more?

    Wave from South Florida

    Wave from South Florida. I have a 2015 Sahara Unlimited. The engine is a 2016. Seems the "puddle" was a little deeper than I thought and my speed was a little more than I thought. Yep, I hydrolocked it... and it only had 5,000 miles on it. Lesson learned.
