I spoke with a couple of techs at a Christian Brothers location and they mentioned two issues with EcoBoosts to be aware of. The first was the 2.7L plastic drain plug and how it needs to be replaced every other oil change or it'll leak. I knew about this one. @Rick Astley recommends buying...

Well, I'm not. (Shut up about taxes! We don't need no stinkin taxes!) I'll probably go for the 2.7 anyways. Marriage is about love and understanding, and kinda not bringing up when you (very rarely) do what you want. Right?

Hello, I'm a car guy but not experienced with modifying off-roaders / trucks. I'm almost certainly buying a base 4-door. It'll be my daily driver. I'm considering the following modifications. Lockers don't appeal that much to me and I'm glad I said this online or else y'all would throw...

I'm still struggling to understand if the GOAT modes will be useful or if they're not a big deal. I'm getting a base model so no locking axles or sway bar disconnect. I'm guessing though that the modes may affect control traction control and shift points though. Would it be possible to later...

Build and price is back down to what it was before for the four door base with automatic standard, am I taking crazy pills? $33,200 before $1,495 D&D. I'm pretty sure that pricing sheet released last week is the real deal but I can hope...

Not the short comparison one that's stickied in this forum but the super detailed text link that looks like a manual format. I've been scrolling through my random f'd up search history and nothing ha. Thanks.

Hi, I test drove a new JLU Willys yesterday and had perhaps the worst experience there I've had. Bang for the buck, it appears that the Willys may be a better fit for me, sad as it is. (I never thought the idea of getting a nice new Jeep as a second choice would be unfortunate. Hey, nice to...

Hello, if you plan on buying a black diamond and changing the wheels keep me in mind. I'm in Houston, Texas. Thanks!

The stock wheels are 16x7 with 255/70/16s. I've never increased a sidewall on a stock small wheel and would like to know if it would be prudent to move to an LT285/75/16 which equates to a 32.7". That size will make for some big, building sidewalls. Providing the base doesn't have some...

I'm probably over thinking this but I'll be moving my tools in and out of the back of my Bronco every day and may want to delete the spare for daily use. For Jeep owners, are the aftermarket rear bumpers with spare tire carrier easily removable? Meaning, for road trips I could quickly lower...

Hello, I'm likely getting a base and am narrowing down my color choice. Has someone already made or would they like to make a white Bronco with the scheme of a new Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro? Meaning, a base model (already has black grille) with black 17" wheels with about 33's on them, body...

Looks really good. Until today I thought it looked kind of dated and boring. Well it looks beautiful at dusk and pretty good full sun. It's brighter red than I thought looking at pictures and has a very subtle.. Warmth to it but it was probably the metallic flake reflecting the sunset. I've...

I did a search for aluminum bumpers and didn't find anything. I'm having trouble finding relative strengths for a front bumper made of an aluminum alloy versus a regular steel bumper. I've read that the alloy bumpers are very light, obviously, and are fairly strong but may break in a collision...

Hello, we're trying to buy our first house next year and I've been doing a lot of reading. I already know about a partial property tax exemption (VA disability) and VA funding fee exemption. I'm also aware that the government doesn't actually give the loan, but it's a program through lenders...

Hi, I used the search function and couldn't find "crawl control" as being mentioned before though I know it must be somewhere on this site. I'm new to the civilian side of off-roading and its technology. I saw a Toyota Crawl Control demonstration and a couple online videos showing it getting...

I don't see anywhere if it shows it to be a manual locking differential or if it's electronic like the Sasquatch. All I see is the gearing steps up and the package is $795. Curious if anyone knows about this. Thanks.

Do y'all think there will be a difference between the MIC or modular? I'm not a Jeep guy so I have no idea how this works. I live in Houston so I will likely have to buy a hard top and wanted to start learning. Thanks in advance. PS-Yes I did see at some point a bit of information about...

When I worked for Nissan, all new vehicles would come from the factory with a few accessories such as carpeted floor mats, splash guards (little body colored mud flaps), cargo nets, a rear cargo protector (that roll up shade thing that covers the cargo area), and the like. Usually it would...

Drove a 2018 4 door Jeep Wrangler Sport today. As most manufacturers have, they've come a long ways in daily driver comfort and quietness. I last drove a 2 door in the late 1990s. If you haven't driven a Jeep Wrangler in years I suggest you do. Pretty good experience and I'm looking forward...

I've never owned a (real) truck and am interested in some alternatives to mud flaps. I'm planning on at maximum 32-33" A/Ts and doing mostly regular road driving. Off-roading would be mostly dirt and sand (beach). Perhaps there's something I don't know about and y'all can enlighten me, like...
