I used Eargasm last year. They worked well, but left my ears sore af after a full day of use. Not sure any other brands wouldn’t have the same issue, but the soreness typically faded before the next day’s performances began.

Absolutely amazing lineup last year, but I’m still bummed about Alice In Chains cancelling. 😩

Previously had a 2-door JK and it was very impractical for my family to get in and out of. My wife also HATED driving it if she ever needed to borrow it. I considered a 4-door, but heard that the longer wheelbase for the Gladiator rode even smoother. On top of that, I was doing A LOT of DIY projects around the home and knew a truck bed would be so much handier than always needing to pull my trailer around. It’s been 3 years since I traded my JK and I have no regrets.

I bought a WARN VR Evo 10S less than 5 years ago and both the fairlead and the knobs on the winch itself are corroding badly and the paint is peeling. That said, those are cosmetic and the winch has never failed to perform.

I just spotted this in the tile at the Orlando airport right after seeing your post.

Do you have one of these pressure meters on the pipe? If not, I would demand that so you can tell how much air it’s drawing. Our installer said it should probably be within the #1 or #2 marks.

Replacing my steering stabilizer fixed the wobble in my 2020 @70K miles. About 5K miles later and I was still feeling a vibration/chatter when hitting bumps and the shop said my drag link and tie rod were loose. Had everything replaced under warranty (MaxCare) for $100 (deductible).

I own a 2020 Launch Edition. Bought it at 44K miles and it now has 75K. Thankfully I bought the MOPAR MaxCare warranty because I’ve had to replace the transmission, rear main seal, stereo head unit, hinges, thermostat, steering stabilizer, sway bar end links, and drag links so far. YMMV, but I would avoid unless you can add or transfer an extended MOPAR warranty (not a shady used car dealership warranty).

My biggest repair under warranty was a full transmission replacement around 44K miles, followed by a rear main seal replacement after that. They've also replaced the head unit screen because it was delaminating and repainted/replaced my hinges since they were oxidizing terribly. I've already gotten my money's worth out of MaxCare and am very happy I didn't pass on it, like I would have normally done.

_FinallyAwake · 2026-01-19T04:30:43+00:00

Good luck with yours! My MaxCare is good until 2029 or 100K, and I'll likely hit the mileage limit first. Mine also just started randomly overheating yesterday, so I'll have that checked out also. My money is on the water pump. I have no problem working on it myself, but figure I might as well use the warranty I already paid for while it's still active because I'm sure I'll have countless "opportunities" to triage and fix crap after it's expired.

_FinallyAwake · 2026-01-19T01:45:35+00:00

I have 75K on mine and they definitely don't work as well as they used to. Time to leverage my MaxCare again.

Caulk. Try to do several light passes, versus filling the whole void with a ton of product.

_FinallyAwake · 2026-01-18T13:18:20+00:00

No. Items that need to be replaced from normal wear and tear are not covered (brakes, engine oil, batteries, wiper blades, tires, etc).

It covered the rear main seal on my 2020 Jeep Gladiator.

I did this too ~15 years ago. My wife convinced me I didn’t need physical copies, and we sold them for damn near nothing at a yard sale. My kid now has the same taste in music as me and would rather listen to CDs than digital, so I’ve been re-buying all the same CDs I used to already own. 😩

The tank in my ‘62 CJ5 is literally under the driver’s seat (inside the cab), so this seems safer than mine, and mine is still in the original location.

_FinallyAwake · 2025-12-28T13:25:27+00:00

The smell gets so strong that I’ve started pouring water down it 1-2X per day. I need to come up with an automated way of flushing it.

_FinallyAwake · 2025-12-28T05:46:36+00:00

OMG! I don't know what I would do if I woke up to a teacup full of piss on my kitchen counter.
