If you trust your painter to properly remove any corrosion you already have and not just spray liner over it. The way I look at it is, Jeep will do it for free; so let them do it then get your Jeep repainted at your leisure, corrosion free. The corrosion was quite hard to see, it's little...

Hence the reason they are all now referred to as "technicians", not "mechanics". If the computer screen doesn't tell them exactly what to do; they are lost. A mechanic can fix the problem based on training and experience, damn the computer. A true, worthy mechanic is going the way of the...

I was told by the Jeep guy in the campground they were swapping parts because of the manpower it takes to refinish the paint. Looks like that doesn't happen anymore.

When I brought mine in, I was told the same thing. They gave me a lift home. About 3 hours later they called, said all was good and was sending a ride-share out to pick me up.

When I was chatting up my service tech about the recall, she said a lot of people lost their minds. She said when it was first released, some customers called, one said he disconnected both batteries, to send out a wrecker, pick up the Jeep and drop a rental off at their house. He didn't care...

I'll admit, I was concerned but not worried. It didn't stop me from driving, it didn't make me take several glances out the window to see if there's smoke. I never looked for the telltale signs of hood paint wrinkling or unusual smells after shutdown. My vehicle was made in 2023 and has 45k...

I was fortunate. While camping, the camper next to me came over and introduced himself. He casually walked around my Jeep and asked, "Did you ever have your corrosion warranty addressed ?" I did the "Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, Willis ?". He laughed and said he works for Jeep and how I have 5...

That Ferosticker is very intriguing. Me likes. I'm leaning towards getting 2 or 3, two for the engine bay, maybe one for under the dash. I live in Texas, where the outside air temp gets way over 100* for weeks/months on end, even in the shade. So just sitting there, the Ferosticker is...

Well, today I got my authorization email from Jeep, Stellantis approved the repainting and corrosion removal in several areas of my paint, covered under warranty. My otherwise flawless paint job is about to get seriously flawed. I don't believe they can match the Hydro Blue Pearl paint job...

I got with my buddy about the "bans" as he told me about that a few years ago. He said since COVID it's gotten worse. He said the current bans are now against homemades and "school bus conversions" because bus conversions have gotten very popular. He said they are REALLY hard on school buses...

When those quick-release came out, I was like, "Oooo, gotta have !!" But then I realized I wouldn't be saving that much time. I spin the Torx bolts out with a bit in my cordless drill; takes seconds. Then spin them back in with the drill. I've only taken my doors off once so far and I did...

Is it just the cynic in me or does anyone else find it suspect that literally no one has came back with, "Mine's at the dealer waiting for repairs." ?? I would assume that Jeep wouldn't throw out this recall where it's costing them millions in manpower hours across the nation if there really...

If that set up is on your personal property, I officially hate you.

I like seeing pics of trails that do not have two never ending black lines on the rocks from the tires of 150,000 Jeeps prior to yours making the same run. 👍

Yesterday when I pulled something out of my pocket, a few bucks tumbled out. I'll freely admit that I think twice about bending over for change, but a definite for folding money. When I bent over, I noticed the bolts under my step rail were bright orange with rust. Here's the kick in the...
