    Poor JL/JLU iconic grille continues to get no respect

    To each his own, but man do I think this thing is ugly! How many ways can they destroy the iconic Jeep grille? It doesn’t look meaner by any stretch of my imagination. It just looks horrible! https://www.motor1.com/news/366138/jeep-wrangler-oracle-vector-grille/amp/

    How to sound deaden the interior of your TJ

    Operation Quiet - Collusion with the Russians (and Chinese) on Sound Deadening When it comes to the subject of Sound Deadening, it is not something most Wrangler owners care about. “A Jeep is supposed to be noisy” or “Why bother, a Wrangler is like a brick driving down the road”, many will say...
