    Choose my engine - Disco 1

    How will you use the Disco once complete? Towing, climbing, and hauling stuff will strain a 4cyl I'd think....if you want different, go aluminum 4.3 V6...most of an LS but not all of an LS, LOL.

    Looking for recommendations for Breckenridge/Boulder/Estes Park area

    Head to Boulder then west to Nederland (Switzerland Trail, Middle St. Vrain trails nearby) and then north to Estes Park.....go over Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park and down to Grand lake. From there you could wiggle back towards Fort Collins and Loveland off road, or head down...

    Off-Road Rescues in Colorado Are Getting Out of Hand

    Let's make them do a couple of hundred hours of supervised work in the field repairing trail damage caused by themselves and others.......and then we can have them speak to every new purchaser of an ATV or Side by Side for another couple of years! And if caught badmouthing their punishment on...

    Off-Road Rescues in Colorado Are Getting Out of Hand

    One word, ACCOUNTABILITY. As soon as they are held accountable (to the fullest extent possible) then you may see some behavioral change. Until then, meh......

    What's the deal with repair parts these days???

    Let's see here. I had a JK. And to be fair, it did not have any specific failures at the time of sale. I do not think that prepping to replace lifters and rockers at 60k is typical, however, given my experiences with the GC, and a fair amount of other research, I chose that option prior to the...

    What's the deal with repair parts these days???

    It is exactly this issue, specifically with Jeep, that led me to sell my 2014 JK with only 60k miles and zero issues to that time. We also have a Grand Cherokee (same engine/different trans) and it has NOT been so trouble free. I had a stockpile of parts in the garage for the JK for the time...

    Resolved Subscription Renewals

    I recently had several apps come up for renewal. Many, if not most in fact, send a "Pre-Renewal" notice email that the time is coming just prior to hitting you for the funds. This seems like an appropriate way to handle subscription based renewals as it gives the customer the choice of whether...

    Satellite Communicator--Which is Best Deal?

    I will admit that I am not a Garmin fan...having owned several and NEVER really working well with any of them. Zoleo is refreshing!

    Satellite Communicator--Which is Best Deal?

    I have a Zoleo. I like it a lot, it works, the plan is reasonable, and it's not a Garmin product. That's all I want/need.

    2017 Jeep JK Rubicon Recon

    I too am at 4.10s and 34" tires........and live in Colorado, and pull a teardrop. Not happy with how it works. In all my math crunching, I "feel" like somewhere between 4.56 and 4.88 would be the place, which doesn't exist. And all the reading and advice I've looked at says "don't under do the...
