Doing an Oil change at 500 miles and causing $9700 in damages.

Goodness, how? Did they underfill or overfill?Doing an Oil change at 500 miles and causing $9700 in damages.
Yes I am very happy with it, well made and no rattles with a 37"KM3How do you like the TeraFlex hinge/tire carrier ? Worth the money ?
It has a door. An ARMY door! The troop strap is known to stop all instances of injury in all circumstances, keeping your passengers safe. If the vehicle rolls over or ejects people, it’s because you did not properly secure the troop strap!All in the birth place of the Willys\Bantam Jeep
Bantam Jeep Prototype, 1940
Looks OEM doorless to me
Can't wait for the details on this one.Goodness, how? Did they underfill or overfill?
I did the change, and was not oil in the jug, there is a thread about itGoodness, how? Did they underfill or overfill?
Truth. I did rotors and pads on my wife’s crv when she drove it into the studs. It was cheaper to buy an impact gun, impact sockets, a one person brake bleeding thingy, a decent (higher quality than oem) rotors and pads bundle, and all the other little knickknacks required instead of taking it to a shop, let alone to the dealer.Just a FYI…doing brakes and rotors is extremely easy. Just watch a few videos and you’ll be fine. Even if it takes you way longer than a mechanic, you’ll know you did it right and way cheaper!
I went back and forth between Willys and Rubicon when I got my 2020, ultimately decided on the Willys. But, there were some climbs where I could have definitely used the lockers and also I would have liked to have had the factory 4.10's, especially after I went up to 37's.
I should, but am not going to, say the 37's with the stock 3.45 gears was a mistake. Lol. I just...I just have a traditional 4-speed transmission now, that's all. Ok, fine, it was a mistake. I should have re-geared at the same time. But I don't want to spend the money on re-gearing a Dana 30 front axle and shoot, the Rubicon axles are wider than the Willys/Sport axles so even though I have a Dana 44 rear if I upgrade the front axle then it'll be wider than the rear, so OK I need rubicon takeoff axles and regear those and...shit I'm at 10k, let's just cut losses, keep the 37's with no regear and order a 2023 Rubicon and get the beefier t-case, better brakes, factory 4.88, lockers, sway bar disconnect, and 3 more years of warranty. And a hard top, so I can put a luggage rack up there without spending $4k on the LOD softtop rack solution.
So yeah. I shoulda done a Rubicon from the get-go and I would have had it in Punk'n like my Willys. Hydro Blue is a good replacement though, still bright and flashy.
Not getting the black leather seats.Not getting the tan leather seats and color-matched top.
Keeping it.Buying it
Right there with you.A little different than most posts here, but my biggest mistake so far was ignoring rain clouds as the sun was setting, thinking it was just getting dark and I would beat the rain to the house on a 1 hour topless drive back to the house. Earned a torrential FL summer storm just after sunset with the top down at under 800 miles on the Jeep. Lesson: don't ever, EVER think you'll beat the rain.
Luckily she airs out quick.
My only regret was taking mine out at less than 6 weeks old onto unmapped tracks without a clear wrap or armour panels on the paintworkThe reverse is also true though, I know of several Rubicon owners that never even get them dirty.
My hardtop is nice and comfortable on the Queen bed in the guest roomSometimes I wish I went dual top, but I don't have a great spot for long term hard top storage and not sure if my Jeep would fit in my garage with the soft top after moving to a 3.5" lift and 37" tires.
Did you use a step drill bit like a Unibit ? They work well and a traditional twist bit is a no-go for me when doing any drilling on a vehicle.Blasting holes in the pop can material rockers for a set of metal cloak exoskins. No matter how careful I was the drill bit would grab and obliterate the metal. Oh well they are on now.
