I figured a lot of people would feel that way, and I shared the same thought about it being a great marketing tool...and yet with some trails being so close I couldn’t help myself lol. Now, I’m not someone who is willing to travel all over the country to do a thing like this, but it was fun to...

Doooh that’s a heartbreaker. Those pictures hurt more than when my ex-wife walked out.

How seriously do people take the Jeep trail badges? I’ve only had my Jeep for a little over a month and just found out about the badges a few weeks ago, and subsequently completed a couple this past weekend. Being a noob, I had some heart pounding moments and took one line I shouldn’t have...

Good info to have and something I hadn’t considered when I impulsively purchased my Jeep. It doesn’t have the towing capacity of my crossover (4,500lbs) but I never tow anything that heavy anyway. Looks like it’s plenty capable of handling a small trailer and 4wheeler, lighter camp trailer, etc.

That looks nice, gets good reviews too. I’d like to get a winch because some of the mud puddles in the Ozarks get pretty nasty so just a peace of mind thing. I hear you on the manual. I actually would prefer a manual transmission- I think they are more fun to drive...and that’s what it’s all...

Yeah that might just be better, as I would like to add perhaps a 2-inch lift at some point, and knowing the previous owner simply purchased some shiny rims and not much else probably means there wasn’t much off-roading extra stress on the vehicle. It’s a 2013, probably was a daily driver. That...

How long are the stock sway bars? These appear to be roughly 6 1/2 inches. I’m speculating, since there are not spacers, that the previous owner used a spring replacement leveling kit since the rake isn’t there and the front spring is longer than stock, resulting in a 1.5 inch lift. Thank you...

It looks to me there are some spacers. Here are some pics to confirm what I’m looking at and make sure I’m seeing things right: Front Rear

Hey, brand new to the forum and brand new to Jeeps and off-roading. I love the outdoors but it’s always been camping, backpacking, water sports, etc. My crossover I’d been driving for 7 years is on its last leg and with my oldest heading off to college in the Fall I no longer needed a third row...
