Should have named it Mojave Green, like the super aggressive rattlesnake.

Imagine if someone in 1976 could have looked into a crystal ball at a Munroney sticker from the year 2021. They seriously would not believe it. Imagine them looking at the sticker of this Jeep...or a new F-150 Platinum for $80k. Pure disbelief.

I kind of can't believe it myself. :eek:

I'd own one. :)

That seems to apply to a lot of things these days. Not sure if it’s rampant inflation or I’m finally morphing into my dad but I seem to have sticker shock daily. $30k for a new motorcycle, $80k+ for a 21’ ski boat...and don’t get me started on home prices, and my wife keeps talking about moving.

The old saying, “he who dies with the most toys wins” is becoming quite a challenge.

Dayum. How will I ever retire?

Looks like you got the bigger UConnect screen, that’s the only thing I wanted that I didn’t get. It’s a big difference in size and resolution over the base touchscreen. I plan to upgrade mine at some point but it’s about $1,200.

Wow. Best commercial I've seen in a long time!

I think it rides a little better after I dropped the tire pressure down to 37psi. That’s what’s on the door sticker. They were at 48psi.

I assume that’s where it’s suppose to be, I guess I’m going to have to pull out the manual.

I remember being at a car dealership in the mid seventies. There was a Jeep Renegade on the floor with a price of $6,000 or $7,000, don’t remember exactly. But I remember my dad saying who in their right mind would pay that for a Jeep. At the time I believe a vette was around $9,000.

Well crap, I bought the jeep at a dealership 30 miles away. I had to go back this morning because I forgot the spare key and hardtop bag for the trade in, no biggie.

Now I just got a call and I dated the check wrong, 2022, and they would like another. They offered to meet me and switch, but it was my fault so I’m heading back. I’ll have 300 miles on this thing soon.

It’s not like I have the funds in the account to clear. I did tell them to hold it for a few days till I transfer fund from my brokerage account to checking.

The dealer must not have followed the pre delivery checklist. Tires are overinflated at the factory. Mine were in the 40s as well

Mine too. Greatly reduces the wandering and vague steering when they are the correct psi. Supposedly upgrading the steering stabilizer helps too.

Wow, supposed to be 37, but were at 48? WHat monkey did that? That's 30% over the recommendation. I guess if you were trying to do some hypermiling, but then who would hypermile something like that?

Cars arrive at dealers sometimes way over the recommended tire pressure. Service departments don't always check the tires. Lazy, and saves them a couple of minutes. What's in the door jamb is the correct pressure.

A post-dated check needs to be replaced.

Tire pressures can change up to 5-6 pounds depending on time of day and in sunlight.

They also change going to different altitudes.

Best thing is to get a super overly accurate tire gauge. I got one for all my motorcycles but it works on everything and measures to 1/10th of a pound.

I especially like the "Whack a Mole" bit near the end... lol ;)

I added a 12 volt plug to the bed so I can run a fridge/freezer. It’s supposed to hold 40 liters, it’s the biggest one I could find that was not to tall. I’ve also added a hard cover for the bed. When I go shooting on Thursday I’m bringing popsicles.

I ran 10 guage wire and used a 15 amp fuse at the battery. The plug is rated at 20 amps.

How long can you run that without killing the battery?

From what I understand, once cooled down they don’t draw much. And you can pick a setting on the fridge to keep from draining the battery to far. I am going to try it out with a portable battery pack I have. Also some use a solar panel with these.

I ask since we have an older one and it will draw enough to blow a fuse now and then even after it is cold. Maybe we need to upgrade.

Which model is that?
