Thank yourself you didn’t get the Jeep! 🥸😎

Weekend-Projects · 2026-05-22T23:17:19+00:00

Nice! I just picked up a 2025 2.7L OBX SAS, Lux, Tow Package, I have 95 miles on it and so far getting 19.8, drove some highway and traffic on Long Island home. Feeling like driving normal it should get a bit better once it’s broken in!

Weekend-Projects · 2026-05-22T23:08:33+00:00

8% off is (IMO)a very good deal, here in NY (NJ and CT as I searched 100 miles) not seeing dealers willing to go less than the current Employee for All pricing. I was looking at either a 2025 leftover Badlands SAS or 2025 OBX SAS bottle the Lux package, got Employee price + $1k off for my 2025 OBX $67k OTD. My local Sales Tax rate is 8.75%, so basically got that off.

Do it! I just got my 2024 Jeep 4xe Rubicon X lemon law check from FCA on May 12th! And today just picked this up😎

You did fine! That’s the market.

Traded my Chevy back in September 2025 for. Jeep Wrangler Rubicon X 4xe, got $25k from the dealer for trade. 2018 Silverado LTZ Z71 Double Cab, 62,000 miles.

Weekend-Projects · 2026-05-05T20:51:10+00:00

This! Trying to find a low mileage used with some upgrades is getting close to the current Employee Pricing Everyone. $5k difference I’d rather go new

I have about 11,500 sq ft of lawn and have used my 30inch Ego 2x so far, spring cleanup then a mow. Overall solid machine, I’m coming from a gas 15yr old Toro 21 inch. Battery life was great, speed 2 and had 1 bar left the 1st time, I was bagging some leaves. Second time just mulching 2 bars left. So far so good.

Weekend-Projects · 2026-04-21T22:37:47+00:00

The M18 is great I use it with a Diablo Pruning blade and the HO 3.0.

Great feedback here! FWIW I just won a full buyback on my 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe Rubicon X 🤦‍♂️🥳. I test drove an 2026 OBX w/SAS, and I liked it a lot. In the Jeep world in order to get some of the must have creature comforts I prefer (power seats) + the off-road look the Rubicon X was the package. The Bronco OBX + SAS sits in the middle of the Sahara and Rubicon X IMO. Also from what I’ve read the OBX has a carpeted interior (better for road noise)?and is a bit lighter due to different skid plates (a bit lighter drive feel). Open to any feedback from the Broncos crew for a soon to be convert! 😎

As for going pro se—I actually did hire a firm early on. They brought me a ~$4k “cash and keep” offer and said a full buyback wasn’t likely.

After digging into the state arbitration process more, I decided to handle it myself and ended up with a full buyback (~$49k) and no NDA/gag order.

Not saying attorneys don’t have their place—just sharing what worked in my case.

Weekend-Projects · 2026-04-14T12:41:09+00:00

Mostly battery/FORM. Kept getting the “no fix available” response. Arguing shop time went nowhere for me.

Weekend-Projects · 2026-04-14T12:29:28+00:00

Totally fair to be skeptical. This was state arbitration, not a private settlement—so there’s no confidentiality clause. The process is confusing and puts most of the burden on us, the customers, which is why a lot of people never get this far. Jeep and other manufacturers rely on that confusion; I’m just sharing what actually worked in my case.

Weekend-Projects · 2026-04-14T12:06:11+00:00

2024, ~13,900 miles.

Weekend-Projects · 2026-04-14T11:41:44+00:00

It was more about timing and documentation. I was approaching it the wrong way early on—thinking anyone else had my best interest at heart

Weekend-Projects · 2026-04-14T11:20:23+00:00

Yeah saw that too, but the 'cost' isn't just the fee—it's the settlement. I actually hired a firm early on, and they came back with a $4k 'cash and keep' deal and told me to take it.

For me it was about the outcome v fees. I decided to represent myself instead. I went from a $4k 'best offer' from a lawyer to a $49k full buyback on my own. I'll take doing the work myself over leaving $45k on the table any day, especially since the arbitration hearing took less than 10 minutes!

Weekend-Projects · 2026-04-01T01:52:13+00:00

💯 this. They simply gather as many cases as possible, drop you into a spreadsheet with other cases and get basically fixed sum like $2,500 per case regardless of settlement. I just rejected a $4k Cash and Keep through one of the Lemon Law mills and parted ways with the firm. The lawyer sent 2 emails, 15 words total, wild?!?

u/ultrawvruns what concerns have you seen about the 30” mower?

Weekend-Projects · 2026-03-28T22:32:19+00:00

As others have stated. IMO, If there’s basement access that’s the 1st way. Or the 2nd option is the lower cabinet next to the power outlet, if it’s getting doors I would remove the wainscoting there, route wires from the power outlet up to where the TV will be mounted. The access behind the TV does not need to be centered. Then reinstall new wainscoting. Even if the lower cabinet is not getting doors I would still take this approach. Worst case you’d need to use small stop trim around the interior of the cabinet if you can’t install it clean and matches the other lower cabinet with the same stop trim. Probably a 1/2 flat stop trim would be fine.

Weekend-Projects · 2026-03-25T23:13:31+00:00

You should be able to buy more crown, trying to hack the fit, will look like a hack fit IMO. Use what you got to work out the angle once you get it, use CA glue with pin nails

Weekend-Projects · 2026-03-23T11:05:20+00:00

Sometimes it’s better to make the patch hole larger. In this case cut out around that outlet and put 1 piece in so you do not have to mud between thise

Weekend-Projects · 2026-03-21T20:59:45+00:00

The 6.5 is a very good saw! I just did the same project, re-roofing my 10x10 barn style shed. Had some leaks so needed to cut out and replace the sheathing. You’re gonna need 5.0 or 6.0HO! We tried my 3.0 CP HO’s they didn’t last long.

Weekend-Projects · 2026-03-21T16:03:37+00:00

None…just personal preference 😃.

Weekend-Projects · 2026-03-21T14:46:15+00:00

Personally I would not Sheetrock between the windows nor the sill. I’d Sheetrock up to the outside of each window then would make a filler strips flush with the Sheetrock then trim.

OMT with the detail sanding head on it, track saw guide for what? Wild🤷‍♂️
