    Which one of you bastards was stalking me? And no, I didn’t draw that. It’s proof you can find ANYTHING with a Google search.

    20th Anniversary Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - ONLY 4000 Will be Made

    Generally, stuff in the top-end vehicles ends up trickling down as options in the “regular” cars eventually (for better or worse, if you don’t like the grill). Right? every brand does it that way. Not a lot of groundbreaking stuff in these special editions, but for example I bet the onboard...

    Volkswagen To Release An All Electric International Scout??

    Die? They are the 2nd largest automaker in the world. In the US they don’t get a lot of traction, but they are a behemoth globally. They just IPOed Porsche. They can barely keep up with global demand for VWs and all their other brands. Fun fact: one of their largest part SKUs isn’t even a...

    Volkswagen To Release An All Electric International Scout??

    VW is heavily committed to electrification, so no surprise that a future vehicle like that would be electric. So is the new, re-launched VW bus, after all. VWs are generally very well-built cars, so this might be nice as a mall crawler, or even for day-trip off-roading where a 300-400 mile...

    New Jeep for a New Adventure

    That seems like a hell of a lot of Jeep right there. Seems like everything you need for the road trip!

    What was done to your rig this week?

    Calibrated my speedometer with ECRI. I relied upon Wayalife’s fantastic review/instructional video. The hardest part (by far) was getting the wiring plugs unplugged so they could go into the bypass unit. Those suckers are tucked WAY up there for big fat fingers like mine! But with some...

    Inflation? What Inflation - LOL

    To be fair on the egg thing, there is a genuine supply problem due to avian flu hammering the chicken farms. It’s not “normal” inflation like many other things. I’m more annoyed about inflation on stuff that’s supposed to be cheap because it’s always been cheap crap, like soda and white bread...

    20th Anniversary Jeep Wrangler Rubicon - ONLY 4000 Will be Made

    Bottom line they are both amazingly optioned up, but with the predictable premium for getting a special edition. Targeted for niche buyers. Standard marketing playbook in any industry. Seem like really nice rigs, just not good value.

    What was done to your rig this week?

    Installed 285/70-17 Falken Wildpeaks on the Black and Tan Edition takeoffs. Replacing the stock 20” wagon wheels and 275/55-20 all season rubber. I’ quite pleased with the new look, and knowing the jeep is better capable when I want to get off pavement. There is no observable difference in road...

    POLL : How Much are You Planning to Spend on Your Jeep This Year?

    Brand new jeep last October. 95% daily driver, 5% weekend toy. Will do some mild upgrades this year for better functionality on the weekends, probably $5k or less. Will resist the urge to do major mechanical mods, or a winch, until I have the luxury of a sabbatical or retirement, and some...

    Curious how rare my 2023 rubi build is as im told from dealership it is?

    I think it’s fairly unusual to have both the safety ad advanced safety groups, but it’s not a unicorn. At least around here, when I started shopping there were basically no Wranglers on dealer lots with those options - custom order was necessary for that reason, even if I had found everything...
