Yep. As other's have said, some nozzles don't play well with the filler neck. Sometimes, backing the nozzle out works.

I found rust on the jack and lug wrench on my '23 a while back. Fortunately it had just started, so I was able to take a wire wheel to it, but I'm guessing the cargo hold for it holds moisture if not outright water. I bought a bottle jack, a breaker bar and 22mm socket that I keep elsewhere in...

Pulled the rear windows and doors. Installed the tube doors. Summer mode engaged. :)

No notice yet, but between my '23 Sport S and my wife's '22 Sahara I guess I'll be making two appointments once the letter arrives.

That first hour isn't the issue. That's a given the moment the key fob leaves my hand. But why fix it in 5 minutes when you could spend that first hour dicking around prepping, inspecting, diagnosing and maybe fix it in that second hour... or third??? My point is efficiency is great for the...

When automotive repair work charges labor cost by the hour, there's no money to be made in diagnosing and repairing problems in minutes... :)

In before the thread lock... :)

I second the Red Line struts. Desert Does It seat jackers. Spendy, but completely changes the way you sit in the Jeep. Add in a dead pedal and you're still under $200 and, like the hood struts, are things that should come from the factory.

Home again, home again, jiggity-jog... A 400 mile slog today through some of the most boring scenery Flatlandia has to offer. The Jeep did phenomenal. I ticked over 25,000 miles on this trip and the current average mpg reads 28 on the dash. Tomorrow it gets a bath, as I'm pretty sure the...

Last day before heading for home. Devil's Tower We stopped there briefly a few years back but never actually went into the park. This time we did and it was fantastic. They regulate how many people can park at the base at any given time, so get there early or plan on waiting in line...

I put a little bit of white lithium grease in there every time I reinstall the doors.

Today was the Peter Norbeck Scenic Byway, then Custer State Park to Needles before stopping in Custer. Absolutely spectacular scenery. I would have liked to have gotten more photos, but some stops were so filled with people parking anywhere they wanted that we decided to avoid the...

We didn't go the camping route so we avoided that headache. As for offroading we did find SD240 which is technically a road, but really just a path with ruts where the wheels should go. If you head southeast through the park take a right at Upper Bigfoot Road. Just as you pass the park...

My wife got the idea to go back to the park at night to see the stars. When we left the hotel we realized that probably wasn't going to happen tonight. Storms started rolling in. Now, don't get me wrong, my wife and I love a good...

Day 1 of the Badlands. Like the Grand Canyon, pictures can't really do it justice. Nothing to see here, just a sheep chillin' in the morning sun. This big boy was just grazing at one of the scenic lookouts. Needless to say (unlike most of the asshats we saw) this photo was taken...

Weird. I was just reading an article earlier today about falcons catching bats in mid-air, feeding on them, then dropping the wings and other parts they didn’t want.

'23 with 24K miles. I got six "free" oil changes/inspections/tire rotations from the dealer when I bought it and I still have one remaining. I have changed air filters and done the AUX battery bypass. When the dealer "freebies" are done I don't know if I'll keep going back to them or start...

I'll just wait for the convergence of self-driving and AI where your car will slow your dumb-ass down for you when you've accumulated too many speeding tickets. I see a future in the nanny-state where your vehicle will be governed by the local posted speed limit. That governor will have an...

I like how a branch of this thread is meandering toward an existential Schrödinger's cat debate... :)
