Hey there, I’m wanting too add some spotlights or something too my Jeep. Not sure where too put them I feel like either side of the winch will look silly, what do you think?

Cheers

I am building syncro vanagon. I need help to choose right tyres. Can some one help me find specs of that car? I think it is 16 inch.

I've been watching the used car market, in anticipation of my next auto upgrade, which will likely be in the next 6 months to a year. I've been driving Jeeps for over the last 10 years, so the 4XE Wrangler seemed like an interesting candidate. With plenty of time before my next purchase, I'm able to take my time in researching and observing what's going on with this platform and the used car market. What started out as excitement for my next Wrangler has turned into concern and maybe a little skepticism.

The Wrangler is not the only 4x4 platform I'm considering. I'm also looking at the Bronco and LR Defender, but I never buy new cars - always used with low mileage. One thing that stands out with the Wrangler 4XE used market is that there is are so many 2024's available with very low mileage in my area (southern California). It's is such a dramatic difference from the other vehicles I'm looking at that it seems odd. I don't know what to make of it. So many of these 2024 used Wrangler 4XE's have such low mileage that they're really still essentially new. They all pretty much have had one owner and no reported accidents, but something doesn't seem right about it.

Lease end buyouts take 2 to 3 years to materialize, so it can't be that. Are people buying these new and just ending up woefully disappointed or having too many issues? It doesn't seem like a situation that points to satisfied buyers.

I'm interested to hear what people in this community think.

Hello maybe somebody can explain what happened here. My girlfriend switched into 4x4 low in a parking lot and the truck started binding up in the front. Jack in the front and as I slowly jack the vehicle up the front driver wheel started spinning slightly like it was trying to catch traction as if it was around up. What the hell is wrong with my front end because after I jack it all the way up and put a new wheel stud in I need to be replaced anyways and spun the shaft forwards everything seemed to be okay. It feels like it wants to do a forward over its left shoulder. Like a nose dive. Can anyone help me with what it is?

Taking my 4x2 Dacia Duster on a long trip and I am looking at ways to improve it's capabilities on less conventional terrain i.e., loose surfacing, light off-roading etc. Not looking to do anything strenuous, just to give myself more options whilst travelling about. The 4x2 Duster has decent ground clearance and is said to be pretty good with loose-surface ability from stock according to what I've read. I've got 4x4 experience. Any suggestions?

I put some dents into the roof of my Pajero when walking on the roof while loading and strapping down camping gear.

I don't care about the dents as I'm going walk on it again. I'm not very tall so it's much easier to get up there, plus it's great fun. However, I want to know if this could cause any further damage and cause problems down the line?

I guess water could pool there when it rains. I keep the car outside so it will get rained on. Would this cause any problems?

I know I could get one of those suction cups and bend it back out, but I'm just going to walk on it again so there's no point.

Any advice appreciated as this is my first 4x4 and I'm new to this.

So I am in Kentucky for work and heard about the Byway. I have a 5th gen 4runner ORP with a 3" lift and 33" All terrains and was wanting to know anyone's experience on the track? I've seen a few videos while researching but that's about it. It looks like a lot of fun and I love the national park but my rig is still somewhat in the build process (no winch, no rock guards, etc). What do y'all think?

I know the surface level of "use 4x4 when you're on loose surfaces, and not on pavement because it will bind up your drivetrain", but i'm trying to map that over to scenarios that aren't as black/white. For example, I was recently on an icy backroad that was paved, and I was switching between 2hi and 4hi because I the road conditions were changing constantly based on if it was in the sun or not (we're talking changing every few minutes if not more). Is that necessary? I guess more generally, how hard is it to actually damage your drivetrain by using 4x4 on pavement and should I just leave it in 4x4 if the roads are bad even if there's pockets of good grip?

The main reason I ask is because I recently went on a test drive with a salesperson in a 4x4, and they just left it on the whole trip because it was snowing and the truck didn't explode, so i'm trying to find the the sweet spot of "being kind to your drivetrain and aware of binding" without babying the components to the point of not even using it right.
