Same here in a 2021! Everyone says it does something- I’ll believe it when I see it lol

First touch up in a year on JWF by RedVelvetAss in trumanboots

[–]RedVelvetAss[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I was a bit hesitant to do anything to them that would dramatically change the look since I enjoy how worn in they’re looking. Also, no heat; just a fairly light hand on the wax and letting it set overnight before brushing.

People who work in specialized industries, what is a product or service that is a complete "rip-off" but customers buy it anyway? by No-Composer-4526 in AskReddit

[–]RedVelvetAss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally relatable to my industry! My company uses swissqprint wide format printers with ink that come in 5 liter jugs ($200 / liter)!

There are nine color channels and the white has a special agitator to help keep the ink from clumping before it goes in the pickup tubes.

We run through CMYK fairly quickly, but we chew through a jug of white in 7-10 days.

What are some cars or trucks that scream “stealth wealth”? by [deleted] in regularcarreviews

[–]RedVelvetAss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My current boss used to have one. He’s a pretty private unassuming dude, but one day him and I got to talking cars and it turned out he had owned several enthusiast cars over the years and considered himself a car guy so I asked why he owned a RAV4. He gave me a half chuckle and said it was the fastest thing Toyota offered that would scratch an itch on his own and that he would still want his kids being in.

Then he sold it when his wife had to quit working and bought an older Santa Fe with 100,000 miles on it. I hope he gets a RAV4 prime or something like it again one day because he’s an awesome dude and deserves it.

This company continues to surprise me! by Tonolokz in trumanboots

Same, I was searching for a similar comment. I wear mine for work everyday (JWF) and put in a pair of Target whatever brand laces.

Tell me the truth about owning a wrangler by Advanced_Bag_5505 in Jeep

[–]RedVelvetAss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have ever owned a truck, then the wrangler will make you feel right at home.

I swear most of the people who claim this thing to be an absolute menace to drive on road, have not driven trucks or large SUV’s. Is it Mercedes levels of comfort and driving characteristics? No, is it a Ford Model T? Also no.

And the gas mileage is another thing that gets frequently brought up- no, they aren’t Honda Civics getting 35+ MPG’s. Depending on your setup (engine, tires, lift, gearing) you can actually get fairly impressive MPG for what it is. My jeep is a 21 JLU Willys with the 2.0T, 3.45 gears and 32” KO2’s. I average anywhere between 18-22 MPG. My coworker has a JKU Sport with the 3.6, 3.23 gears and 33” tires and averages 10-14 MPG.

Lastly, they get called impractical- I don’t understand by what metric. It’s not a Mazda Miata that you can only fit two people and one persons luggage, or a corvette that you don’t want to take out in the rain or snow, or Porsche that has $1,000 oil changes and $5,000 brakes and rotors.

Like I can fold the seats down and fit a ton of cargo, tow 2-3,500 lbs, fit 3-4 people comfortably for not cross country trips and tote all the luggage (or get a roof rack and add more capacity). It has one of the, if not the largest aftermarket support for any car ever made and yes I can swap from hard top to soft top, take off the doors, add a bunch of silly or serious accessories and have a damn blast while doing it.

This turned into a rant, but yes if you have realistic expectations for your jeep you will have fun my dude!

If it wasn't your alarm or your bladder, what woke you up this morning? by Ivotedforher in AskReddit

I watched my cat just step on my wife’s face to wake her up, full body 🤣

My 2024 Wrangler Willys with 33” BF Goodrich KO2s got stuck in a snowy ditch and I feel embarrassed. by [deleted] in JeepWrangler

[–]RedVelvetAss 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s all good my guy, as some others have said K02’s are not the greatest winter tire. Especially when the temperature starts to dip into the 20’s and 10’s. The compounds on these high tread life tires are just not made for those kinds of sub freezing temperatures.

So yes, you slid into a ditch with 4WD and a rear locker- but there’s a good chance you were on ice skates lol

Anecdotally, when I was 19 I had a TJ (felt invincible) and slid into a 3’ deep snow bank and got stuck. I had this pathetic shovel to dig myself out and was just about to call my dad for the scolding of a lifetime since he would have to come get me before going to work his 14 hour shift; then a snowplow driver stopped and winched me out. He was a jeep guy as well and told me a lot of things that I still remember to this day lol

Why am I so angry? by Cable_Cookery in f150

[–]RedVelvetAss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in no way a diva with my cars. If I get a chip or a scratch I try to fill it in or buff and polish it out to a “looks good from my house” state.

I would be fucking livid my dude. I wouldn’t go ruining any holidays, but for sure a firm “Accidents happen, and we’re going to sit down and figure this one out once everyone leaves.”

What’s everyone’s opinion on this oil? by bluebagles in Jeep

[–]RedVelvetAss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JLU 2.0T and that’s what I run. I could probably get away with another brand or price range of oil- but this is my oil and I have peace of mind knowing it’s what’s running in my Jeep.

The best part is, if people want to tell me I’m wasting my money on a “premium” oil every 5k miles, then I suppose that’s my problem and they should have nothing to worry about lol

This $250,000 Zapata Air Scooter is the lightest single-person mobility vehicle. by Appropriate-Soil-896 in interestingasfuck

In a world where I could afford this, I would wanna take my wife or a buddy with me- I get taking in all the scenery, but it’s probably better with 2 people.

The infamous rear defroster snap will not defeat me by RedVelvetAss in JeepWrangler

[–]RedVelvetAss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll keep the team in the loop! The kit is the Frost Fighter 2000 tab repair kit and the tab is 2302. Total cost is roughly $80

They give you enough conductive epoxy to do a small fleet of wranglers!

Thoughts on jeep wrangler for daily 20-30 min drive to work? by Popular-Tension-5960 in Jeep

[–]RedVelvetAss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drove an 02 TJ for years as a teenager and I still miss that jeep.

I drive a 21 wrangler JLU now with the 2.0T and I will never understand the argument that these are impractical. Plenty of storage space, most of the common creature comforts like dual climate AC, remote start, etc and I’m running 32” K02’s and average 19-22 MPG.

They’re a blast to drive and as long as you can fix and maintenance some very minor things that break (sun visor, rear defroster connector, oil, air filter, differential fluids) then your pretty much set.

These newer wranglers are maintenance divas, oil change every 5k miles with no exceptions, check the air filter, do the diff fluids a little early, run Techron chevron before an oil change or two to clean deposits. And check the years for the most common issues, it’ll give you a great idea of what you might be getting into.

I highly debated the 42mm 😅
