I recently bought a storage container for the Jeep: Yeah, I know. I know. But I own a purple Jeep... so subtlety has never really been a concern. :) Anywho... the size of the container is great. The problem is that there are four latches (2 in front, 2 in back) and each one has a small...

Mrs. Opus and I have decided it's time for a mini road trip this summer. We've decided on the Badlands as our primary destination. We've booked a few days at the Frontier Cabins in Wall, SD as our "basecamp" to do some exploring. We're thinking we might also take a jaunt to Devil's Tower...

I posted recently that the ESS in my 2023 Jeep had stopped working. There have been no warning lights or any other indicators of any problems. I don't have a Tazer installed or any other device like that installed. The Jeep just stopped shutting off at stop lights. Initially when I first...

It's a step in the right direction. https://tfltruck.com/2026/03/there-is-a-new-2-door-jeep-gladiator-meet-the-new-acela-dispatcher-4x4/

Just curious whether having opted for the Trailer Tow package for my 2023 Sport S means that battery/alternator combo might have bought me more time before I'll need to replace the battery? I don't have any warning signs yet, but going into my third year with the stock setup, I know it's only a...

I don't put the top completely down very often. In the summer I generally run it Safari-style to give me some shade. Yesterday, I decided to drop the top all the way but even with the locks engaged on both sides there's a fair amount of play where the top can bounce up and down. Even with the...

I hadn't really been paying attention to my average mpg. Looked down today and was surprised that I was over 28. But I am still running a stock suspension and A/S tires with a combination of mostly highway and city driving. I also haven't done the auxiliary battery delete so the ESS still...

Just a reminder that with the changing seasons you'll want to stay on top of regular maintenance for your Wranglers: I forgot to do that last year. One frozen ass commute and I learned my lesson. Never again. Remember... spring forward... fall back... And last but not least, for the...

Gladiators are reliable now??? https://www.hotcars.com/youll-never-guess-what-most-reliable-midsize-pickup-truck-in-america-in-2025-is/ Not just reliable... the most reliable midsize pickup??? What's next?

I've been running with tube doors and safari top for a while and have been lucky with only getting caught in one short downpour so far this summer. That one came out of nowhere as one of those "pop-up" showers... which, as you know, is a meteorological euphemism for "fuck if we know whether...

Looking for recommendation for replacement turn signal and DRL bulbs for the 2022 Sahara. I'd like to step up to LED bulbs, so something with a built-in resistor (i.e. plug and play) would be preferable. I see the usual suspects, Lasfit and Sealight on Amazon, but the reviews are hit and miss...

Thinking next year will be another driving trip with Mrs. Opus and myself. I wouldn't mind going back to explore more of Moab that we didn't get time to see previously. But I'm considering Badlands National Park as a nice combo of scenic drives while being relatively close to home. I know...

I posted this on my build thread but thought it was apropos here as well. Storage specifically made for 2-door can be hard to find. I ordered this set of bags from Amazon and they hold a surprising amount of stuff. They sit on either side on top of the wheel tubs. Previously, I had to...

I'm assuming the previous owner was a Denver Bronco's fan. Otherwise, I can't explain why on a Hydro-Blue Sahara they would have covered both the shifter knob and the transfer case knob with bright orange plastic covers. :) They are stuck on pretty well, so I'm guessing they are attached...

I've mentioned a few times that we would be looking to trade in my wife's Compass for a Wrangler. She has obviously been seething with jealousy ever since I got mine two years ago and, who can blame her, really. Well, on Monday she found a used 2022 Sahara at our local dealer so we went to...

or Jeepukkah, or Jeepzaa??? Normally, I would ask this right after the Holiday but, if you're like me (first of all my condolences, second) Santa brought some gift cards this year so you had to wait for his Amazonian elves to deliver your haul. I got some Bunker traction boards (thus...

This guy's repair game is strong. :) I find his videos to be oddly relaxing to watch. In this case, the work on the Willys seemed apropos.

Purchased a 3"-4" saddle adapter for my bottle jack. The adapter is meant to fit jacks 1.65" or less in diameter. Mine is 1" in diameter at the top which means there is a fair amount of play. Do I need to find a reducer of some kind to make sure they fit more securely together, or is this...

I'm not sure if this is normal and I just haven't noticed it as much before. Shutting off the Jeep I continue to hear a whirring sound like a fan running. I know it's not the main radiator fan. The sound seems to be coming from somewhere just behind the passenger headlight. I have the Jeep...

I am considering a dash cam for the Jeep. I don't really care about having a screen so I'm leaning toward something smaller and more discreet like the Garmin Mini 2 or Mini 3. For those who have had experience with them, would you recommend them or not? If not, something similar?
