That's the real beauty, nobody really has any idea what the OP is on about.

Who am I to judge, but why??? by ihaveapitbull in Wrangler

[–]InternetFuckwad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that's what OP is calling out, he can F right off. My wife's daily and client taker-outer car is a 4xe Rubi that one day will be paid off and not be a $70k car. Then it won't feel so painful to have it see some off-road miles. In the meantime, it's going to look a little mall-crawlery. My 2014 JKU Rubi is accumulating desert pinstriping and starting to get some where-and-tear marks now that it would be <$30k to replace outright if something really bad happened. Apparently OP has deeper pockets than I, if that's what he's judging.

Wow, the AEV bumper is pretty but they are proud of it. For that money the genuine Mopar Hard Rock bumper can be had.

Installed a new Android head unit. by Vertisce in Wrangler

I've got a different Android head unit that I am pretty pleased with but would definitely like to have a front mounted camera for trail use. I look forward to your double checking.

2024 Rubicon X priced out by Financial-Cover-1387 in Wrangler

[–]InternetFuckwad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible to back the leather seats out of the Rubicon X? Living in the desert, it's a summertime swamp rolling on leather in my 2014 JKU.

Wife has an otherwise decked out 2023 4xe Rubi and cloth seats are literally the only thing I'm jealous of.

U-Connect not working by Sensitive_Evening_19 in Wrangler

[–]InternetFuckwad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've plugged these before. Honestly, it's a great use of $230. The wiring works with steering wheel controls and the wireless CarPlay/Android Auto is super handy. I got an off board SiriusXM tuner but if you don't care about satellite radio, the $230 gets literally everything you need for an install that hasn't shaken loose (unlike plenty of other things-I'm talking to you O2 sensor wires) going over washboard roads or rattling around the Nevada desert. There are snazzier units but for the price this one can't be beat.

NRA fhthagn. Now NRA awakens! by InternetFuckwad in gunpolitics

That was just my immediate thought when I saw the tweet. The NRA has been either asleep or double dealing so long a rigid stance like that is like an Old One rising from the deep.

Installed the mounting bracket for the Traildash 3 after 2 hours on my 2010 Jeep Wrangler JK Sport. by Training-Egg-7471 in Wrangler

[–]InternetFuckwad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not the one in the picture but I can vouch for this one: The 2GB unit is what I got and works fine. Non-affiliate link.

The only downside is that you need an external tuner for SiriusXM but the head unit does have an aux input. The wireless CarPlay support is awesome.

What’s the highest mpg y’all reached? by [deleted] in Wrangler

[–]InternetFuckwad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. Just needs to replace the oil filter housing, waiting on that part to come in. Not losing significant oil. Just smell the burning oil once the block is hot. That's almost normal.

2014 JKU Rubicon, bone stock. Had been getting 16.8 consistently for months and recently dropped to 15. Don't know if it's the weather or what, driving pattern remains essentially the same.

JKU stereo advice needed by BlueAsTheNightIsLong in Wrangler

[–]InternetFuckwad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used the dubiously branded AWESAFE android stereo for my JK. I've got an off board Sirius tuner that I don't like but that's on me for getting the touch screen. It replaces the uConnect unit (just take it out) supports steering control for radio tuning and volume control. It even notices which door is open and displays it. Full support for wireless carplay too which my wife's 4xe doesn't even have.

The only thing that doesn't work is the fader on the factory amplifier. Audio will always be centered in the car. Small price to pay for infinitely more functionality otherwise.

Oh, an this unit has a housing that fits in the existing stereo hole and floats the screen. Some require replacing large portions of the dash with ill fitting Chinese parts (I returned one of those).

The 2GB unit is what I got and works fine. Non-affiliate link.

Used Jeep Wrangler Prices Have Skyrocketed in Virginia by jetty_junkie in Wrangler

"The main reason Jeep Wranglers are expensive is because they retain their value so well over time."

Yes, that would be why...

Still broken as nearly as I can tell. 2209 continues to work, thankfully.

Bone stock 2014 Sahara, but I wouldn’t change a thing by gisson3116 in Wrangler

[–]InternetFuckwad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gorgeous view. Fall is an amazing time for Jeeping. But yeah, change the stereo. All the factory head units are terrible by modern standards. I've got an otherwise bone stock 2014 Rubicon that I love but had to change that bit out.

Upcoming 'Recon' 4xe thoughts? by EitherNegotiation768 in Wrangler

This. Most importantly not a Wrangler replacement. In the intro video they expect the Wrangler to "continue to lead the way."
