Episode 560 – New Holland Overland On JTS!
This Week In Jeep
Jeep Hits MULTIPLE Houses In Accident
So here we have a 2021 Jeep Wrangler, and by the looks of those red shocks, it’s a Rubicon… a relatively new Jeep, modestly equipped with some aftermarket goodies it seems, including what looks like some wheels and tires even. Alright, nice Jeep man…
Got the matching spare, that’s good. Went with the hardtop, a nice choice.
Oh, but the Jeeper in this story didn’t learn how NOT to exceed his own AND his Jeep’s abilities when someone you’re attracted to is sitting in the seat next to you.
Ohhh, so close. See if he had NOT decided to show off and go all Tokyo Drift…
In a residential area… when there is snow and ice covering everything in sight…
Well… then I suppose he might NOT have ended up smashing through several properties, fences, decks, stairs, landscaping, and more in this nice neighborhood …wait for it… NUTLEY St. Oh, but it’s not just the bruised ego and the copious amounts of property damage, oh no. The driver of this Jeep did receive injuries through this escapade on ice, but refused treatment, …what?… still showing off their guy?
His passenger, yes a female, reportedly told police she was unharmed.
By some miracle… This guy escapes getting a ticket, and the police even said it was all due to icy road conditions.
…right…. that sent you careening through not one, not two, but no less than three properties before coming to rest on the driver’s side door of your Jeep in someone else’s front yard… It’s a good thing the neighbor had a retaining wall holding up their driveway, or their cars would have stopped the progress of this Jeep.
Here’s What Happens When You Combine a Jeep With a School Bus
-Jeep Hits School Bus Head-On In Hudson Valley, NY
2021 Jeep Cherokee hits guard rail
Then hits the bus with 18 students – high schoolers –
All were taken to a nearby medical center for evaluation
– I prob had tests @ school
– no injuries
Jeep driver – flown to a different hospital – multiple fractures
That day in Neversink NY – Jan 25th cold – 7 deg projected high of 28
– road conditions
Fatal Jeep Accident Blamed On-Road conditions
Well just about 4 hours north from where Tony is sitting right now, a Jeep Wrangler left the roadway when the driver, a 30-year-old woman, lost control of the Jeep and it went off the roadway as she was coming down the exit ramp to Green Oaks Blvd from I-20.
Ordinarily, this is where the story would turn funny or ironic, but in this case, it turns tragic. Investigators pronounced the woman dead at the scene and determined she had not been wearing her seatbelt at the time of the wreck. Thankfully there were no other people or pets in the Jeep either. Now unlike the other two stories where snow and ice had (allegedly) been a contributing factor to what happened, authorities are saying that wet road conditions were to blame for this Jeepers passing. This is odd because the total rainfall for the entire day was .08 of an inch. I’ve seen seagulls piss more than that.
Regardless, I’m sure this was preventable, and our condolences go out to the family.
Tech Talk with Jeep Talk
TOPIC/QUESTION: Jeep Speaker Selection – Final Segment
In Episode 548 we began a new series all focused on selecting the right speaker for your Jeep. We’ve covered how to find the right speaker size, what that size means to the sound of the speaker in relation to other sized speakers, and what the materials a speaker is made of mean to its sound quality. I ended the last tech talk by telling you that we’re going to go deeper into the frequencies that speakers can play. So far we’ve 
kept things scientific, but relatively generalized, using metaphors and analogies to explain complex principles of sound design and audiology. Now, we’re going to get into some actual numbers you can use, and the two most important ratings of a speaker’s performance. Sensitivity and Frequency Response. These numbers can always be found in any given speaker’s spec sheet. This may be part of the manual that is included with the product, or on the outside of the box, and is usually listed out, or may sometimes be shown in a graph format.
What the frequency response rating does, is tell you the listener/buyer what the manufacturer says the speaker will faithfully reproduce, music-wise. This number is representative of the speaker’s range. How low of bass it can play, and how high the trebles can go. The lowest number and usually the first in this particular rating is the bass, how low can the speaker actually and accurately produce bass notes. The 
higher number is the high frequencies, the stuff the tweeter will play, the high hats, the flutes, the higher notes of a female singer, you get the idea. This set of numbers is kind of important, especially if one of the things you’re looking for out of a new set of speakers is more bass. If that’s the case, then you’ll need to get the largest speakers you can fit in the location of the Jeep where you’re trying to install or replace a speaker and find the ones that have the lowest number on their frequency rating. A quick note on frequency response… With some more high-end options, you may see some speakers exceed 20,000 Hz and beyond… but the range of human hearing is only from about 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz. So if a speaker is producing sound outside of that range, it is wasted audio and power. If what you are looking for is the ultimate in sound quality and performance, and need more beyond a simple speaker replacement, then what you’re looking for are speakers that are made with higher quality materials, and can handle more wattage, giving you the ability to amplify these speakers to really make them perform. When you have extra power for your speakers, you don’t have to worry quite as much about the sensitivity rating. Speaking of power, speakers convert power into sound waves. Different speakers work better with certain power sources. Factory stereos mostly deliver lower power; aftermarket stereos offer a bit more, and aftermarket amplifiers provide the most power possible.
The more power you use, the more loudness and musical detail you get, but you want to make sure your speakers can play accurately while playing loudly. So here we enter the second of our important speaker ratings. Sensitivity. Sensitivity measures how much sound a speaker yields from the power applied to it. Essentially it’s a measurement of efficiency. How much sound can the speaker make with every single watt of power the stereo or amp is putting out. If you have a low-powered factory stereo (typically 25 watts per channel or less), speakers with high sensitivity ratings (over 90 dB) will make the best match. If you have a high-power system like an aftermarket stereo or external amplifier, then consider speakers with lower sensitivity ratings. Properly powered, they’ll provide excellent sound quality. So if you are unsure of the available power of your system, then don’t worry. Just opt for speakers with the highest sensitivity rating possible. This will ensure that the speaker will give you the most bang for your buck with the power you have. A more sensitive speaker (one with a rating over 90 dB) will always sound louder than a speaker with a lower sensitivity rating (one with a rating under 90 dB). Ok one last note to leave you with, another pair of terms you will likely see a lot in your search through the car-audio world, is MAX and RMS power. Max power is the absolute maximum power a device can either handle or put out. It’s generally over-inflated and is not a real-world example of what that device can do. This applies to both stereos as well as speakers and amplifiers especially. The RMS rating is a rating of what the device can handle or put out for a continuous amount of time. Your Jeep may be able to do 110 miles per hour (its max rating) But it can’t do that for very long before the Jeep is likely going to blow up. The RMS rating for your Jeep is more like 65. This same example can be applied to various aspects of car audio. Well, that about wraps it 
up, you pull my cord on car audio I’ll go for days. It’s a topic near and dear to my heart and a field I worked in professionally for over a decade. And I still do system design and installs for people all over the area I live in. If you have a specific audio question answered, shoot me an email and we’ll get it all sorted out. Happy listening Jeeeper, I hope these last several Tech Talks have got you geared up to upgrade the speakers in your Jeep now.

Jeep Life – With Jeep Momma
What NOT to Buy for Your Jeep, Jeep Momma’s Top 5.
This Jeep Life might make me some enemies. Here is a little disclaimer first. Not as good as Josh’s disclaimers though…
This episode of Jeep life is the opinions of Jeep Momma and not necessarily of the Jeep Talk Show and not meant to offend anyone; they are just my opinions.
I am talking about modifications & accessories for your Jeep. Some people say Jeep stands for Just Empty Every Pocket. When you start buying accessories and modifications that spending adds up so sometimes you need to be smart about spending your money. Here are some Jeep Momma tips to try to save you some money and maybe even prevent you from being teased by friends or fellow Jeepers.
Number 5 Eyelashes – Let’s just leave fake eyelashes for the trendy young girls. These things don’t need to be put on your Jeep. Just plain stupid… In My opinion.
Number 4 Electric Slide-Out Side Steps – Having a step to get into your Jeep for some is important especially if it is lifted. However, you need to be very careful about what kind of step you purchase. There 
are side steps that slide out from under your Jeep when you open your door. While these are cool they could do a lot of damage to your Jeep or they could get torn off if you ever decide to take your Jeep off-road. There are better options out there that are more practical for a Jeep. I love my Barricade Rock Sliders. They protect my Jeep while I am off-road and on the rocks plus they work great to get into my lifted Jeep.
Number 3 Colored Headlights – Led Headlights are a must but please don’t make them colored. Colored Headlights are useless unless they are white, yellow, or blue are illegal to drive with so in essence, you are wasting your money because you can only use them when parked. I guess if they match your accessory color, and you are taking pictures for social media they might be of use but you are better off spending your money on some other colored accessory that you can appreciate when your Jeep is on the road.
Number 1 The Angry Grille – …This 7-slot grille is iconic and what Jeep is famous for. I believe covering up the seven slots is sacrilege. Why even get a Jeep if you are going to disrespect the 7 slots with an Angry Grille. It breaks my heart when I see Jeeps with these angry grilles as they are covering up one of the cool things about Jeep.
