I got very unlucky. Cam phasers needed replaced at 20,000 miles. Both front CV axles needed to be replaced at 25,000 miles. Multiple trips to the dealership to fix floppy windows. Multiple soft top warranty repairs (until Ford decided when to stop honoring the warranty). Purchased a hard...

There are two things that cause me driver fatigue on long trips: constant steering input, and constant loud noise. I thought switching from a 2022 Jeep Wrangler to a Ford Bronco would improve both those characteristics, but I was sorely mistaken. The Bronco is so obnoxiously loud on the...

I started over and bought a 2026 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. My 2022 Bronco Badlands SAS was riddled with issues that Ford didn't want to address. I put a ton of time and money into the Bronco, but I couldn't get it dialed in to make it anywhere enjoyable to drive. Maybe I'll come back in a few...

But the new CEO of Jeep said just the opposite. "The brand aims to defy the "sea of sameness" in the SUV segment by using high-impact, limited-edition colors." The full Wrangler 2026 lineup was just revealed:

I'm not selling my Bronco because of the state of the showroom, I'm selling my Bronco because of the attitudes of the service and warranty claims departments. Don't tell me you won't honor the warranty because I take my Bronco off road or the part (soft top rear window) is not warrantied...

Wreath.

I did everything I could to get my Bronco quiet for my wife and daughter. They really hate how road noise affects their hearing aids. They either turn them off and can't have any kind of conversation whatsoever, or they leave them on and deal with constant discomfort, noise fatigue, and fast...

Even the 2026 Bronco Sport is getting Orange Fury. I don’t understand the logic behind these decisions.

2026 Mustang got great color options - and would all look great on a Bronco. I don't know why this is so difficult.

The Sahara and 392 are the only Wranglers that don't have a 2-door option. The Willy's and Rubicon have the 35 inch tire package option for both 2 and 4 doors.

My Mojito Jeep is currently being built with an estimated ship date of November 12th.

Story time! At the Southern Missouri Off Road Ranch, commonly known as SMORR. First picture is PeeWee's Crossing we took during the day. This is a Jeep Badge of Honor Trail. We decided to do a night ride on this trail. The creek has tons of tree roots and sharp rocks. I had my head out...

When is the last time you bought a new Baofeng? I purchased this set: https://a.co/d/c9GzVLk and there was no programming required at all. Op, I suggest the radios I linked above. The batteries last forever, but the units can be charged via USB right from your vehicle. They have a really...

What gearing was the rental jeep? I drove a Rubicon with 35" tires, 3.6L V6, and the 4.56 gears and I thought it was super peppy. It was so good I decided to order one. Selling the Bronco.

I'm kind of mad that my Ford Bronco tool kit doesn't come with tongue depressors. My Bronco after 3 more years of recalls:
