It's not really a holster, I was just using that term as a dedicated spot to put the key. The JL has a specific place to put your fob. It's in the center consol. That said, I bet there IS a belt-mounted leather fob holding holster out there someplace. Etsy? Nate

This thread caused me to go to the garage and check things out. My two door Rubicon's stickers are on the driver's side door, not the jamb. Huh. Never even occurred to me that I wasn't seeing them when my doors are off. 2018 thing? Two door thing? I'm stumped. Nate

For reasons I can't explain, the saddle leather seats remind me of Star Trek uniforms. No idea.

Preference. When I'm home, the fob stays in its dedicated holster. Contrast that with the wife's Lincoln and it's holsterless fob. She's digging in this purse and then that purse and shaking jeans in the laundry pile and, Oh! There it is! On the kitchen table. Nate

It's a running joke among JL owners. There's a meme. It's too big. There are hacks to make the metal key flip out less easily as it tends to deploy in your pocket (insert juvenile joke here). I do appreciate that it's meant to look like a jerry can and that there is a specific place to stow it...

Great idea. They'll probably introduce something similar in a few years when the excitement winds down and just before an engine upgrade or hybrid announcement. Simple and inexpensive cosmetic changes for which Ford can charge a bundle. I'm not slamming it, but that seems like the formula. Nate

That'd be nice. I'm in a market that only has one Ford dealership. There's another about 30 miles away, but it's a smaller operation. I went local because they're much bigger and figured that, should things get weird, they'd be more likely to get my FE than the dealership down the road. That...

It's a Jeep thing. :) No, this was a wrangler forum. Like here, some folks want their amazing rock-crawling, trail-rockin', river-fordin' rig to also tow a boat. Perhaps a dedicated, factory towing package would get some attention? That said, I definitely think that there's a misconception...

We had a similar discussion over on the jeep forum. Given the niche nature of the Bronco and Jeep, I could see a market in a dedicated towing package: bigger brakes, stiffer suspension, front end weighting, reinforced bits for higher tongue weight, etc. Some people clearly want the look and...

Ok

Go east towards Tortilla Flat. Lotsa spots out that way. So, I guess, add that into the equation. The depreciation may be a wash? Nate

15 minutes! When I lived in Phoenix it was 45 minutes to work and 90 minutes home. Oh well. At the time I drove a manual Acura NSX. Kinda brutal. Do you have any data on depreciation of similar vehicles with manual vs automatic? If you do, just ask yourself what your enjoyment from driving...

My Rubicon is manual. When I bought it the idea was for it be be driven by both my wife and I: trails, camping, parks, normal Wisconsin stuff. Then our daughter would learn and we'd live in a candy forest and be friends with the squirrels. Reality was that it's pretty much only ever used by me...

My thoughts are: if I'm already figuring how options effect re-sale on a vehicle I haven't purchased, I'm probably purchasing the wrong vehicle. Get manual if you're more interested in being engaged with the act of driving. Get an automatic if you're more interested in, um, drinking coffee and...

Sliderjack: Woah. That is fantastic. I'm jealous, I'm super jealous In fact but also very pleased that you're enjoying it and that she escaped the junk yard. I may circle-back someday. Every few years I get that itch....she still has such a special place in my heart, kinda weirdly so. And yes...

Love your avatar photo SliderJack. I had an 81' FJ40 in the mid-1990s. Same color. I used to drive around with my beagle on my lap, windshield down & top/doors off, his paws on the wheel, ears kinda floating in the breeze. Freaking dog loved that rig. As a current JL owner, the novelty of...
