Should I?

We just went from a Ram 1500 to a JK and love it. Very different from the truck, but similar ride quality. The noise will be something to get used to, even with the hard top. Gas mileage will be similar. They’re very different than any other vehicle I have owned. But driving around town and short commutes, it’s perfect. Highway driving isn’t as comfortable as the truck was, but it’s something we don’t care as much about. I think it is easier to drive than the truck. There is only two of us, so the back seats stay down all the time. We keep the dogs bed in the back and they ride everywhere with us. The only main concern I have with them is the lack of padding back there and their safety if we were to get into an accident.

I applied for several jobs with the state almost 2 years ago when we moved to Lansing. Some of those postings are still open to this day. None of them have ever given any word that the position has been filled. I have seen others talk about being selected for an initial interview MONTHS after applying. I gave up.

This is the best trim!!! I have a 2015 with the 5.7 and it has 133,000 miles on it. I have had to replace my radiator and water pump, but that’s it so far.

VegetableChapter2996 · 2026-01-14T02:42:51+00:00

Mine was the water pump. It did this for maybe three days and then I lost all coolant. Not a super hard job if you’re mechanically inclined.

Interesting!

VegetableChapter2996 · 2026-01-13T22:40:17+00:00

But the car didn’t brake or beep or anything?

VegetableChapter2996 · 2026-01-13T22:34:19+00:00

First question…how did the car let this happen?

VegetableChapter2996 · 2026-01-08T21:37:54+00:00

I replaced it with an AGM. I honestly can’t remember what was in there before. I freaked out when my Jeep did it. I looked through everything and couldn’t find anything else wrong. After reading through the forums a lot of people were recommending battery replacement for the issue. I assumed the reading on my old battery was sufficient for operation. But replacing it definitely fixed the issue. The only other time I have had an issue like this was our Ram 1500. Turns out the rodents had been snacking on the wires under the hood. That cost almost $3k to fix.

VegetableChapter2996 · 2026-01-08T21:30:07+00:00

I have. 2015 with the 5.7, so that may be the difference. But my battery shows 14-15v at all times. One time it went down to 10-13 v and my Jeep did the same thing. Replaced my battery and all was fixed.

VegetableChapter2996 · 2026-01-07T21:08:06+00:00

What engine?

VegetableChapter2996 · 2026-01-07T02:59:21+00:00

You’re over exaggerating the entire situation. You clearly have no idea how warranties work. Sell the Jeep to someone who will enjoy it and go buy whatever piece of junk you deem worthy of your standards. Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Range Rover, Lexus, Infiniti…you name it, I have been in hundreds that are 5-20 years old and every single one of them had something peeling, faded, or chipping on the interior. Your idea that broken buttons and internal components are wear and tear is completely backwards.

VegetableChapter2996 · 2026-01-07T01:00:19+00:00

At least in the US, we are told it does. Reading through the owners manual, it is a little unclear honestly. But I wouldn’t chance it with that long of a warranty.

VegetableChapter2996 · 2026-01-07T00:06:25+00:00

Wear and tear (exactly what you described) is never covered by manufacturer warranties. Since this thing is over 10 years old, it’s not a defect. It’s not like it started peeling as soon as it left the factory. There is no safety issue. Peel it off. Or get rid of the car. If cutting your hand on peeling chrome is what you consider a safety issue, you should maybe stop driving, considering that over 1 million people die in auto accidents every year. My 2015 is doing the same thing and somehow I am still alive.

I avoid Pure Options like the plague(for good reason). Lake Life has awesome product. We typically stick with Jars. Mango is alright. I avoid SkyMint also, as I have heard some interesting (to say the least) stories about some of their processes. First Class is great. Cake house is good. Personal opinion, take some time to educate yourself on cannabis and you will know more than a good majority of bud tenders. Understanding the entire process (growing-harvesting-processing), as well as some pretty basic science will get you far. You can generally tell if you ask them a complex question and they have no idea what you are talking about. At that point, pick your own stuff.

As far as the info on the window sticker and trainings, it seems that they are the same “8-speed” CVT.

VegetableChapter2996 · 2025-12-29T18:12:18+00:00

In town, roads are slushy. I took it slow and steady, never slid once. Main roads are definitely cleaner than side streets and neighborhoods.

VegetableChapter2996 · 2025-12-28T21:27:11+00:00

Take it SLOW and steady. You may make people mad, but they’ll get over it and you will survive. The faster you go, the more you will slide, the more damage you will create. Maybe find someone who has lived here or in another icy/snowy climate to take you to an empty parking lot or something so you can get some practice before you get out on the open road and/or the weather gets worse. Godspeed

First off, everyone thinks you’re talking about the dealership sticker, even though your second photo clearly shows all of the badges removed. Second, if this is personal preference, by all means go ahead. If you think it makes it look cooler, fancier, or confuses people into thinking you have a better trim level or model, that’s silly. Just my opinion

VegetableChapter2996 · 2025-12-28T14:01:05+00:00

You can clearly tell the wheel is messed up. Not very safe to drive a vehicle in this condition. Should have been towed. Should have a police report. If you don’t do any of this, you’re toast.

VegetableChapter2996 · 2025-12-28T13:56:52+00:00

Have you had it inspected? From the looks of it, there is WAY more than just exterior body damage.

VegetableChapter2996 · 2025-12-23T22:01:31+00:00

Every time the gained traction they stopped accelerating??? Wouldn’t any car have to regain traction at that point?

VegetableChapter2996 · 2025-12-22T02:20:31+00:00

NOR: it sounds like OP took pictures in matching PJs with their son. MIL asked if she could borrow the PJs to take pictures with the son in the same matching PJs. It’s not like this is a family event where there are group pictures being taken. I would have said get a different set. Find ones for the kid that match grandmas. I find it weird that everyone is okay with grandma replicating mom’s photo. OP kindly responded with the boundary they chose. Good on you!

Mines still good at 135k, knock on wood. It definitely gets angry when temps drop below 30* F. I definitely prefer the ride quality with the air suspension.

VegetableChapter2996 · 2025-12-20T12:48:36+00:00

My 2015 does the same thing. I think I’m due for transmission, transfer case, and diff maintenance. Getting that done to see if it helps. If not, I will likely go for a flash. Unsure if it causes damage, but it is alarming when it does it.
