12 Days Of Jeepmas 2025 Part 1 and CAD / FAD Axles
About this episode
The I Speak Jeep podcast kicks off the festive season with the first part of '12 Days of Jeepmas' and a deep dive into axle technology. Hosts Neil, Scott, and Jeff humorously discuss the evolution of Jeep axles, particularly the issues surrounding central axle disconnects (CAD) and flawed axle designs (FAD). They share personal anecdotes, including a Christmas tree retrieval adventure, while also preparing for their annual Jeep-themed holiday song. Expect a mix of technical insights and lighthearted banter as they navigate the complexities of Jeep engineering and holiday cheer.

Welcome to the 2025 edition of 12 Days of Jeepmas. Jeff has done his best to improve upon the last couple years and so stay tuned towards the end to see what lyrics he came up with. Neil obviously will be singing the song but this year... Scott challenged Jeff to bring his guitar and play live music for Neil to sing to. Will this be the worst edition yet???
Aside from Christmas shenanigans, this episode focuses on front axles in Jeep. Specifically talking about CAD and FAD. Find out what SFJ4x4's team really think of these axles and why.
Tune in next week for the 2nd part of 12 Days of Jeepmas!
