It IS true! That is why Jeeps come with a flat bed area in the back where you can put a beer (Pliny The Elder) cooler in to properly balance the Jeep. Maintaining a properly balanced Jeep is important!

What is your average elevation? My 2-door gets really good mileage at higher elevation (>5k), but the mileage really goes down at low elevation. At higher elevation the air is less dense so it is easier to drive through.

Yes, you will see 8th speed again. But it is still good to regear (to 4.56) if you can afford it. I have 35" Nitto tires on a 2-door Rubicon and it still does often run in 8th on the highway. However, I have the 2.0T motor which develops a lot of torque while at speed. I do wish the gearing was...

Maybe it was attached to a board, which immediately disintegrated once the nail went through the tire.

Where's the bling, bling, bling? 😄

The crummy dealerships do not seem to request surveys. I will be honest with all survey questions. If someone treated me kindly and intelligently, then the starting point is a 10 and they can only lose points due to poor service. If I was not even welcomed, then the starting point is a 7 and...

Jeeps (especially built ones) don't have a wonderful stopping distance so always allowing extra room is wise. He is lucky if there were no injuries.

Some of those humanoid beings may even be members of this forum! Perhaps they are Jeep fans!
