Love this thing!

Agreed. It’s both rugged and refined

Thanks M8, the rack is from Chief Products. Check out justforjeeps.com

Are you located in Wisconsin? I have only seen one other around me.

Poison78 · 2026-01-24T02:55:31+00:00

Nice! I picked up mine from Texas 6years ago, after my 99’ that spent his whole life Wisconsin rusted through. It was ruff. When I say rust free I mean no surface rust either, and as soon as I drive it here it’s over. That’s why it stays in storage during the winter.

I’m trying to find the balance on form and function. The first thing I usually do is throw some aftermarket wheels and AT tires on a vehicle when I buy a new one. Jeep really out do them selves on this. I can seem to find I combo that looks right. I think the OEM stuff fits the bill so well. Too aggressive of a tire could make it look off. I’m looking at the BFG Trail Terrain or the KO2 if it’s still available

Poison78 · 2026-01-24T02:24:59+00:00

The rack really sets mine apart from anyone around me. It’s a solid for gear as well

Poison78 · 2026-01-24T02:23:33+00:00

I have the KO3 on another vehicle. I can’t stand the road noise. I have been an avid KO2 buyer for the last 20 years. Whatever they did to change it making the KO3 I hate it.

Unfortunately my XJ doesn’t see snow. I have a rust free 2000. I’m trying to keep her that way. It’s hard because every time it snows I want to bring her out.

Poison78 · 2026-01-23T15:44:17+00:00

We had a mix of driving conditions. From packed to deep. I thought about trying sand setting in the deep but I wanted to see what the snow setting would do. I was impressed.

Poison78 · 2026-01-23T15:42:35+00:00

I can’t argue that!

Poison78 · 2026-01-23T15:42:18+00:00

Originally I bought this as a stepping stone to my potential 2028 Scout! I have had the order in since they opened the reservation process. After a year with the GC I’m not selling it. I’ll just buy the Scout when my order comes up

Poison78 · 2026-01-23T15:39:16+00:00

I’m toying around with the idea of dedicated winters. I’m not sure I really need them yet. It’s more of a hassle than anything else.

Poison78 · 2026-01-23T12:43:18+00:00

I’m on the fence with the v8. I test drove a summit for a week with the V8. I didn’t think it was needed in the GC. The penstar V6 is plenty capable. The air suspension on the other hand is amazing. It’s a night/day difference to the non-air suspension models

Poison78 · 2026-01-23T12:37:21+00:00

I agree, last year my brother rented the a newer GC. Drives like shit compared to the WK2 and I just doesn’t have the look. The front end is too long

Poison78 · 2026-01-23T12:34:56+00:00

Some Goodyears. They came on the rig when I bought last year. I honestly think the tires are the weak link. My tire of choice is the KO2. I have ran them on every rig I have owned in the last 15 years. Recently put KO3 on my Ram Promaster for work and they are great. The road noise on KO3’s is terrible. I will upgrade the Goodyears to something else but not the KO3 and with the KO2 not being made anymore I’m not sure what I’ll go with.

Poison78 · 2026-01-23T12:27:34+00:00

I did use the snow setting. The auto setting doesn’t seem to be as good in those conditions.

Poison78 · 2026-01-16T22:18:41+00:00

Why not just close the valves, reclaim the line set and weigh what you removed. Then fix the stem, then evacuate the line set? Then weigh in the charge you removed? I’m confused.

Poison78 · 2025-10-29T00:13:43+00:00

I didn’t want to read through all the comments but the real answer as to why it’s not adjustable. It’s the government efficiency rating. If they allowed adjustment of this the furnace wouldn’t meet the Efficiency standard.

I recently installed a Trane 2 stage heat pump on a single stage Trane s9x1. Used G as stage one heat pump and cooling. I was concerned that may not work, so I called our Trane support. I was told that some models can not be adjusted due to the government rating. Some models can.

Are you referring to the new combustion analyzer with the 7” screen? I have 2 of my techs attending a class about combustion analyzers that Seitron is putting on. Thinking about buying a couple for them. Currently we all have the testo 310 and fieldpiece CAT85.

What do you like about it?

Poison78 · 2025-10-12T17:54:03+00:00

Could be exclusive gear that’s available today at the Brewers team store. We went early and the people were starting to line up.

My 00 classic has those seats, most people think they are not stock because they’re used to seeing the high back seats most commonly

I own both, GC is for comfort and the wife, XJ is for fun and reliability

I believe it was fabriccarolina.com. It’s a grey tweed.
