From our Mexico trip.

My go-to cup. I've always been a dog person. This is my boxer mug. My wife and I recently discussed that our goal for vacations is to get a coffee mug for each place we visit. I'll get a shot of what we have so far (not much). Hoping to get some more this summer.

Understandable that someone wouldn't want to bash a $100K Jeep on the rocks. Plus, figure a Gladiator isn't what you want to buy for hard rock crawling, just too long. Better as an expedition vehicle.

I went to their website to see what the lowest price build is with a 392: $100K for a Sport (no lockers, standard TC). Before I bought the Ram, I was thinking of getting a Mojave instead. Figured the Ram is a better DD and can tow my Jeep. Comes with the 5.7 and better MPG than the Mojave.

And that's for a Sport. So no lockers or lower transfer case. Jeez!

In a previous car, that was the main symptom when I needed new motor mounts.

Mine was a left over '23 Big Horn that I bought new about a year ago. I paid $49K. KBB private party high value is $42.8K with currently 8800 miles. Bottom line, it is what it is. Since I have a short commute, I'm hoping to have it for 10 years at least. So no real complaints from me. At the...

I would ask your dealer. There have been rumors of them bringing back the Hemi for Big Horn and lower this summer. So not sure if that will be for '25 still, or if that will be when '26 orders start. Though keep in mind to never trust a salesman though. Common answer to 'when is the cut off to...

I haven't compared. Though generally speaking, springs have very little to do with ride quality. Shocks are what controls ride quality. Springs are just for height. *Unless you're comparing worn out, sagging springs. Or heavy duty springs for towing. As long as your shocks can tolerate 1" less...

Mine is a '23, but I'm not a fan of auto stop/start. I turn it off every time I start the truck. If it's causing you problems, turn it off. If you want to use it, maybe take it in for service and/or give it a month or two. I know many of the '25 have been having weird problems.

I rip to FLAC and put it on a USB flash drive. I leave the flash drive connected all the time so that I don't have to stream from my phone. I did notice music doesn't sound as good over Bluetooth. Currently not paying for any music streaming services. I figure that since I don't add new music...

I had a conversation with my stereo shop because I put in a complete system and didn't have satisfactory bass. My sales rep advised that it was because many of my music tracks were low quality (MP3). He connected his phone in my truck, subscribes to Deezer (high quality streaming) and played a...

I don't know what to say other than time will tell. You can't fix something when it isn't broken. You have to wait and see. The dealer is the same. They will not spend much time testing for something that is currently working. I'm an IT tech and will often have to close a ticket with the...

Regarding the blind spot: Not sure if they're the same as on the '23 (mine)... You have to manually adjust the blind spot mirror, it's not electric. Once you adjust them, it will eliminate the blind spot. That said, I've gotten used to mine, but also tempted to replace them with the standard...

This meme comes to mind. The guys at the alignment shop are only working on OEM suspension.
