Yes, the 8.1 Vortec is Chevy's big block beast of the recent past. It's a very, very good engine but pretty thirsty and not very common. Made for those who want diesel torque/power but didn't want a Duramax for whatever strange reason...

I was just about to say the same thing. How stupid is that? Just put the mileage. Even if you don't know specifically put it generally, it will still get the point across for most shoppers.

The happiest place I've found for mine is inside my front winch bumper. For the last year or two it's been velcro'd to the top of the winch. This is an Aluminess winch bumper with a lockable door on top of the winch. Works great unless the rig is parked in sun since the bumper is black and...

You can easily add any window you want anywhere you want to any truck camper with solid sides (assuming of course it's empty inside). I'd choose the truck camper for all it's other benefits and add my own if it's not offered by the manufacturer for a good price.

It was 3" HIGHER? It looks like more than a 6" lift in the pics, which is getting up there for a van, unless you're of that very very small percentage who enjoy pushing the envelope of death wobble.

I'm a short 2500 miles away.

I saw that the other day. Great looking deal. I'm betting the OP is in Connecticut though and it's a bit of a haul. I'd do it but not many will.

People have limited vacation/free time and want to maximize productivity on travel days. And EV's don't charge in the time it takes to stretch and take a leak but petrol tanks fill in that time. And WTH does the urine receptable have to do with anything?

I think it's an incredibly bad idea but we're missing the point here. Look at that hideous blue contraption. Isn't the idiot that designed it all about culling from the herd all that isn't the right color or doesn't look right to him and his.......people? I think Cybertrucks should be...

Oh I was just speaking to the sect that thinks that every new Jeep is 'not a Jeep'. There's some truth to that, they get more refined and less rugged, just like everything else. Who would want to daily a YJ though!

Historically yes but that's changed. Our JLU is a fantastic highway vehicle. It's a hard top so the wind noise isn't awful and it's not lifted or modified, I've only put Rubi factory wheels/tires on it. The OEMs were M/T's since it's a Willys. Also, gets nearly 25mpg on the highway and has...

Not to keep this thread so Jeep-centric but I found this interesting. Looks like 2018 was the best year of Wrangler sales. As a JLU owner I can believe it. Yes, a JLU is less Jeep but it's so much more all-around great vehicle than any previous Jeep. And I'm not a Jeep fanboy, I've only...

Mine was a Rubi. It wasn't just the gearing but the throttle mapping as well. First time I jumped out of my JKU 6m and into my buddy's new (then) 2018 JLU with the same engine and 8 speed I was blown away. Literally like unhitching a 5k trailer from the same vehicle.

I had a manual transmission 3.6 before her 8 speed auto 2.0. Never going back. That 6 speed Wrangler (a 2016) was the slowest, most anemic vehicle I've ever owned. Something about the 6 speed manual Jeep in those years was just lousy. I strongly recommend trying before you buy.

I bought my wife a '21 2.0 turbo Wrangler in 21. Has about 36k on it now and has given us no problems whatsoever. It did pitch a fit when the factory battery died a few months ago. Weird symptoms can happen and fool you with the dual battery setup (lithium auto-start battery or whatever it...

Nice article in the header ^^^^^ but is it me or did they forget the elephant in the room in the specs, the weight! Not mentioned at all. Anyone?

Very nice. BC is uncharted territory for me. Someday soon I hope.......

Where is that @NOPEC? I feel like I should recognize it but it's late.

Don't do a pressurized water system. There, I tried.

If I were in your shoes I would build a truck like the Ambition Strikes gray Dodge with side door MTB storage. Are you familiar?
