    I am not rich by any means and I have been driving since 1971 (legally since 1973) and I remember when gas was under 40 cents a gallon. I remember the first time I saw gas at a $1 a gallon I was like ****** time to sell this gas burner lol. I had a Ford 460 with C6 which got about 10mpg on a good...

    I bought my first new truck in 1977 and have owned many since, both 1/2 tons and 3/4 tons and i have generally found it is easy to overload them If you haul a camper. I have weighed them on the scale and usually found the weight on the front axle is at or has exceeded its gvwr. I agree if only...

    Comparison shopping: Colorado, Gladiator, Tacoma

    Congrats on both but especially the birth of your child. My younger brother was born on Christmas Day and while my parents always tried to make it a special day for him on top of Christmas, he always felt jilted. It is really tough for a parent to arrange birthday parties when everyone is...

    JKU / JLU as a family travel vehicle

    I have never seen 0% on a wrangler and doubt the Gladiator will see that any time soon either.

    PSA regarding vehicle service

    I have a good buddy who is a mechanic in a busy dealership and makes well over $100K a year with lots of time off. He has a college degree in Business from Ohio State and if you ask him what he does for a living he will tell you he is a tech. He drives a Jeep and Ferrari 458 lol go figure

    Opinions Solicited......Another Head Scratching Mid Size Truck Choice Thread

    I might have missed it but why no F150 in the mix? So much more truck for the money and I have a buddy that has a new 3.5 EB and another with the 2.7 EB and they are getting great mpg.

    Opinions Solicited......Another Head Scratching Mid Size Truck Choice Thread

    it is funny I looked at a bunch of new Bison ZR2's and regular ZR2's and half of them had a plastic piece by interior handle that wanted to fall out. As far as CR and Honda reliablity I take it with a grain of salt. I currently own a 2017 Civc, 2014 CRV and 2016 CRV and prior to those several...

    the 3.6 with 8speed really does well. I have test drove 3 JT's a rubicon, sport s and overland and was impressed how nice they felt with the automatic. I love my jkur with auto but the 8 speed really is a better match and better mpg to boot.

    What is the top tool for a recovery situation? [Poll]

    all depends on where you live and the terrain you are wheeling in. I actually sold my Tred traction boards because in 5 years they never got used, except when a buddy intentionally buried himself in the sand to see how they worked, a shovel takes up no room nor does any of the other stuff. I...
