  • Ram Outsold Jeep This Quarter. First Time in Years

    Stellantis is not going out of business. The clickbait title said Jeep and Ram were done, and the numbers underneath it are the part worth arguing about. Stellantis posted a full-year 2025 net loss of 22.3 billion, mostly from writing down electric vehicle plans after demand came in lower than expected. Jeep was down about 20 percent in the third quarter and about 8 percent for the year. Ram was up about 29 percent for the quarter, roughly 20 percent year to date, and outsold Jeep for the quarter for the first time in years. Jeep still leads the year, but only by roughly 45,000 units.

    • 51:45 – Nicky G cameo and episode wrap‑up
    • 53:57 – Legal disclaimer and final remarks

    Key Highlights

    • Third-quarter 2026 Stellantis volume was essentially flat at 324,270 units, about 600 fewer than the same quarter last year.
    • Josh's read is that Ram takes the year-to-date lead by December. He calls it a feeling, not a fact, and says do not buy stock off this conversation.
    • Tony's case for full self-driving on a Jeep or Ram: a chauffeur for $99 a month, cameras instead of Waymo's lidar pods, and no requirement that the truck be an EV. Off-road stays hands-on.
    • Josh was out a couple of weeks with a lung infection and a jaw abscess that ruptured. Tony had a non-melanoma skin cancer cut off his wrist the day before this recording, about an inch long and half an inch wide. The line from the dermatologist: if a sore does not heal in 30 days, get it looked at.
    • Unverified, and labeled that way on the show: Flock cameras may be reading plates plus Bluetooth, phones, and TPMS. Nicky G still closes it. The bread factory bit is intact.

    Like the video if the sales gap is the part you came for. Comment with this: do you buy Josh's bet that Ram passes Jeep by year end, or is the 45,000-unit lead still enough? Subscribe for the next round. Full episodes and the contact page are at jeeptalkshow.com.

  • She Built Rebelle — Then Can't Race It

    Emily Off-Road joins the Jeep Talk Show to talk about founding the Rebel Rally, why a long women's-only endurance event had to be bold and raw, and how course design, strategy, and firsthand competition shape every mile. She explains the third-day breaking point, why she skipped a saturated men's racing space, and how rented stock Wranglers helped prove unmodified Jeeps can succeed. Hear about her Morocco CARTA run, mini expeditions, the Trinity Road Rally, and why a Jeep Rubicon still wins the campfire "do-it-all" vote.

  • The Truth About Returning Old Parts for Refunds

    Join Tony and the Jeep Talk Show crew for the Tuesday night Round Table pre-party at 7:30 PM Central. The guys get into whether swapping an old Jeep alternator or power steering pump for a refund is clever parts collecting or just stealing, then debate backing into parking spots versus pulling in like God intended. They also cover the Wolfbox G900 Tri-Pro 3-channel mirror dash cam coming for review on the Gladiator and TJs, plus TJ e-brake headaches and why mom-and-pop shops matter.

  • Why the New Jeep Recon is Just Wrong | JTS

    Tony and Josh are back in the studio for a mixed-bag Jeep Talk Show covering Jeep Recon and Avenger news, the latest Grand Cherokee rear spring recall, Gladiator electrical fire recalls, and why quality lists keep ranking Jeep low. They talk brand loyalty dying, unibody doors-off design that looks wrong, slipping sales, Tony's 2021 Gladiator experience, and whether these new models can actually go anywhere. Plus an FU on drivers who treat the center turn lane like a suggestion instead of a tool.

    • Second Grand Cherokee rear-spring recall in six months plus Gladiator/Wrangler electrical connection fire recall Tony just received
    • Shop story: Chris's 2020 Gladiator head gaskets, Hurricane-engine loaner, and "Oh, Jeep Talk Show?" recognition

  • Sawyer Filters in Your Jeep: Kurt Avery Interview

    Kurt Avery of Sawyer Products joins Jeep Talk Show to talk water filters, insect protection, and how a company that lost money for 23 of its first 25 years now delivers clean water in more than 80 countries. Sawyer's 0.1-micron hollow-fiber filters take out bacteria and protozoa, last for years with backwashing, and have helped tens of millions of people while the company gives away most of its profits. Tony and Kurt cover malaria work, clothing treatment that lasts through wash cycles, disaster kits, Mexico tap water, and why a cheap filter belongs in every Jeep. Sawyer.com and Amazon carry the same gear they discussed.

    • The company works with 140+ nonprofits in 80 countries and gives away over 90% of profits
    • Permethrin clothing treatment bonds to fabric for about 6 weeks or 6 washes and helps cut tick and mosquito bites
    • Filters work on surface water, travel, boil-notice situations, and off-road kits; they are not for turning seawater into drinking water
    • Kurt's marketing background, early partner Gayle Sayers, and the long unprofitable years before the filters took off
