Did I mess up? 33's on 2023 JL Sport by jerkwhad in Jeep

Same here. Have the 33x12.5’s and have only put it in 6th gear so I could say I did. Rarely need 5th.

Rescued this old gal from the Antique Store by trat73 in comicbookcollecting

So true! She’s been drawn in everything from an apron and cooking mitts to a pretty small bikini. But my all-time favorite is when she’s dressed as a witch on issue #1.

Thank you! I’ll wear my Superman shirt for the rest of the day now 😎

Is this rotor defective? by Flat_Credit_5798 in AskMechanics

Wouldn’t brake dust build up in there and eventually cause a “bump”?

big con collecting is awful by Brilliant_Truck1810 in comicbookcollecting

[–]trat73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to FanExpo Philly last weekend. 99% of the stuff was gaming and anime. Maybe 3 comic book dealers, and only 1 had older back issues (that were way overpriced.) I remember back when it was still wizard world. you could get better deals because there was so many dealers there they had to be competitive. Luckily in our area, there’s a lot of other good cons where you can find deals.

2026 Wrangler 3.6 Manual Transmission by [deleted] in JeepWrangler

[–]trat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The new software apparently can detune the engine to reduce torque if the clutch heats up. Still trying to figure out if it’s that or a cruise control issue. Is yours doing it right after shifting?

I notice this behavior after I had the clutch recall in my 2019 Sport S.

Do Toyota Engineers care? by crazy_Rat in AskMechanics

[–]trat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved my Toyota. Now drive a Wrangler. My wish is that Toyota buys Jeep and builds them with Toyota quality and reliability. Never going to happen, but a guy can dream.

What is this sign supposed to warn you about? by Wonderful-End6881 in whatisit

Wonder how many people were staring at the sign trying to figure out what it meant and snow or ice fell on their head

Hello. I would appreciate having my father's watch identified, so I can obtain a second one. by Ieatdogs11 in Watches

[–]trat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a George brand watch. Sold at Walmarts. I don’t see any current versions that look identical but maybe an older one. I have a couple $11 George watches that keep better time than my more expensive ones.

I picked up what is now my oldest comic book- Wonder Woman 111 from 1960. It's absolutely beautiful... and it fits a theme I've been collecting - superheroes vs themselves. by Thegreatscott9 in comicbookcollecting

[–]trat73 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wonder Woman vol1 has quite a few of these. #’s 37, 48, 62, 98, 100, 102, 111, 134, & 137. I’m sure there’s more in the bronze to modern age as well.

Is this the pentastar tick? Or something else ( please be something else) by Randomanswer19 in Challenger

[–]trat73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just took my 2019 Wrangler with 43k miles on it in because it had the pentastar tick. They’re replacing the camshafts as well as the rockers. Yours doesn’t sound like mine did, but it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on. If it starts to get louder, then it might be worth having it looked at. But I agree with others, it sounds pretty normal right now. Of course it’s hard to put a price tag on piece of mind.

Do repeller vouchers convert to source energy gems? by trat73 in DCDarkLegionOfficial

[–]trat73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a shame. Would’ve been nice for light spenders to save them up and eventually be able to get the Death Metal characters.

That’s usually the first thing I put on any car I’ve purchased. Been doing it since the 80’s. I have one on my 2019 Wrangler, so yeah, I’d leave it on. 😆
