THANK YOU

Yes, we got everyone out while it was just a small fire.

I carry a fire extinguisher in every vehicle since this lady in a minivan rear ended my JK:

A rear mounted spare reduces visibility?? I never noticed that. In fact I think there’s a marked improvement in my Jeep coming from my previous cars, the Countach, the Diablo and the XJ220.....

Let me add to the hype here, it’s totally worth it.

I would drive the crap out of that.

Ditto. Top and doors off in April, back on in November. I use a sun shade, I throw the front roof panels on if it rains and I carry an emergency jacket just in case. 100*+ is no big deal. I have A/C and I run it once a year just to see if it still works.

Wrangler potential realized:

You would think. Here’s my end

Yes they were. I went to check them out before the fire started and we got everyone out immediately once we noticed flames licking out from under the hood. Unfortunately no one had a fire extinguisher bigger than a coke can and a few minutes later it was a bonfire. I have since added two full size H3R Halguard…

Different strokes I guess. Which I’m glad for, someone has to buy up the cool cars so they keep making them.

I can’t imagine how EVERYONE is not driving around in a wrangler. The mileage is passable, the ride quality is fine if you’re not that princess who had the issue with the pea, it’s small, capable and great to daily. The modular build style means that one vehicle fits every role, year round. The roof and doors come off…

I never expected to be tempted by the JL. Even after the release and the excitement that it escaped castration at the hands of ‘what today’s buyers want’, I still sat contented with my JK. But the more I see, the more interesting it gets. Strangely, it’s not any major change like an engine or trans or suspension…

I saw one of these a few months ago with Canada plates, in that blue. It’s frickin gorgeous. The poor woman in the passenger seat had a bit of a shock when she looked up at the idiot in the jeep drooling on his window and flashing a big ol thumbs up. My enthusiasm for the car dawned on her though and she smiled and…

I want to know how much those aluminum doors weigh. And I’d like a good look at the new windshield/roll hoop configuration. Check for drain plugs too, though based on the changes they’ve made I can’t imagine they’d have left them out.

Actually the garage extinguisher is a Kiddie that has the plastic nozzle. I should take care of that. The new ones are good to go

Indeed. Did the soft doors give it away?

I just came here after cleaning out a spot in the garage for exactly this! I’m going to roll the Jeep in soon to mount these fire extinguishers and gear up for tomorrow out at Rausch Creek.

Yes, this. Man that thing is ugly and wow does this ever illustrate it perfectly
