I just think If you are paying for a Rubicon(no matter what color), you should at least have the OPTION to keep the red dash.
We can add Bikini to the list of colors that don't get the red dash.
I'm really just focused on the red Rubicon dash on a Mojito wrangler. In that case, I don't think they should charge anything to choose whether you want the red or silver. You would think that choosing red would be more expensive, yet on a Mojito Rubicon, they choose silver for you and charge...
I asked a local Jeep salesman how well the 2.0T are selling. His response was, "Wranglers, in general, aren't selling." I stopped by his dealership to find new Wranglers listed at $4,000-5,000 below sticker. I've never seen discounts like that around here. (in regions with higher Wrangler sales...
I know the exact spec Mojito! Rubicon I want to order, but I HATE the silver dash. I know I can wrap or paint it, but I want the factory Rubicon red dash. Why can't FCA offer an option to override the default dash color? I understand that they don't want the red dash color to clash with the rest...
But you are absolutely correct. FARRR more "silicon islands" come to the surface of welds done with metal cored wire as opposed to using solid GMAW wire. All that fact tells me is they should've known to remove the silicon.
I don't weld with metal cored wire...never have, no matter what wire they're using there's no excuse for the issues people are having. The bad welds are a disgrace and I have no idea how the frames got through with those welds, and those frame welds that weren't properly prepped for paint, They...
It looks like it. Mgroegers Jeep is OK...yours on the other hand, yours are properly bad welds. The red arrow shows the weld that basically hasn't penetrated the frame at all, and the yellow shows welds full of porosity(resulting in a VERY weak weld). I would feel comfortable saying that yours...
Sometimes if you don't clean the steel well enough and you don't have quite enough shielding gas, some silica(essentially glass) will rise to the surface of the weld. though I've NEVER seen that much silica on a weld.
What are the chances...in that case yeah, you're fine. I'd still hit the welds with a wire brush real quick and get some paint on them. That rust will eventually spread like cancer.
In the first picture has nothing to do with slag and rust. Its a bit of a transverse fillet weld, and they somehow achieved little if any penetration on the frame. I will provide a picture of a Passable weld that the paint has merely chipped off due to slag. If you have a weld that looks exactly...
An extended warranty could potentially be the cheapest and best way to make a customer happy...The customer leaves happy and there is no guarantee that the customer will ever need to take advantage of said warranty.
