May you not have to deal with a DMV hairball, but be prepared if it’s not done by the renewal date. Late fees are confiscatory, and you can’t legally drive it to get smog checked with expired tags. I had a hell day of 3 trips standing in line at DMV and 4 trips to insurance once……. Insurance …...

and only in the time it took me to post :facepalm:

Now if the OP would just It would get to 37 pages 😉

To reinforce again, do not take delivery. Reorder from one of Ratbert’s dealerships. I made the mistake of not reordering when the XR package was announced and mine was in build after waiting 4 months— gears and tires, ehh- $4K should about cover it— and did, but unbeknownst to me the XR pkg...

Caused my cousin a fractured back, other injuries, months of recovery, medical discharge, and a lifetime of back problems. A rollover waiting to happen. My MD (M38A1) didn’t come with the military accessories either.

About $2500 quoted to replace the POS buried under the intake manifold. (check engine light). The fuel pump was expensive too. Output shaft leaking, CV boots throwing grease, sway bar links blown, check engine and other warning lights when it rains, they go out when it dries, can’t stop the (not...

:whew: …. :LOL:

hmmm- I wonder if they’re still available, :idea: I just might check 😁 thanks for causing me a search, spending money, and work 🙃 edit- yep, even new originals 💰

2030 Jeep Wrangler DJ— impressed ?

Isn’t Wrangle the second highest selling Jeep branded vehicle under the GC. Are they not used in more “challenging” conditions than the vast majority of other vehicles on the list ? Extreme off road use is not a list consideration, yet Jeep still shows reasonably well. 🤔

That’s worse than my 05 as reported- at least they didn’t nickel and dime me another $1000+ , and wouldn’t budge less than $500 over invoice, probably greedier there too now.

You mean like the unwanted - optional ?- sunroof and electronics upgrade that were on every V8 4R inventoried in the state and already required the top Trim that has every other “option” standard equipment. Kinda like buying a V8 Wrangler.

Actually, it was “they didn’t know it was ordered, just grabbed it off the truck and polished it” “So you’re charging me for your mistake ?” “I didn’t request it and you didn’t ask !” Uhh, three times before “I’ll take it off “ . The percentage of times they get away with it must outweigh when...

Will at East Coast Gear- “ we always recommend Dana”

Yep- regrettably the smog V8 was introduced with the same HP(160) as the Buick V6, but did creep up a little over the years. A friend de smogged and added bolt on performance upgrades (cam, Edelbrock, Holley, headers) for a respectable increase, but limited by the smog heads and pistons, a full...

CJ10 was produced , it would have to be a CJ11 😁 The “tonner” had D-60’s and a Nissan Diesel I-6 was available

Agree- the point is the agencies started complaining, picked up by the Media and snowballed into the infamous staged program about Jeep rollovers……. RIP CJ. Their have been a few times when I have noticed spurts of “Death Wobble” reports, but so far they haven’t continued snowballing. Always...

I’ve heard other things before too, the end result was the demise of the CJ The CJ5 was widely criticized by highway safety agencies for being more rollover prone………….. we know the rest of the story. If it starts a similar path The JL/M is widely criticized by highway safety agencies for being...

I’ll start with my 21 Wrangler Does Ride Like My GC in “sport mode” , steering and handling are very good with nearly un noticeable wander below 80mph. OK, I’ll give you the seats that are too hard,(reportedly corrected with memory foam pad swap and planned). No “suffering” heck, I have fun...

The steel ones weigh ~ 13-15lbs, Teraflex aluminum relocation brackets are featherweight and come with a tire bumper extension kit. ~$135-150. Up 2” out 1 3/8” as I Recall. The heavy RC steel one that would have put it in the reinforcement needed weight range is in the garage with other unused...
