It was the 258 and a Carter carb. I bought is from the original owner in 2006 and ripped the Carter off replacing it with a Holley. No issues....

Having been through the HPFP failure I would wait and see if it gets built and delivered to the dealership. Once a real solution is available your new vehicle will be retrofitted with the fix. Other option is to pick up a used model with low miles in anticipation of the solution coming through...

Reliability isn't assured for any vehicle make or model anymore as they're all mass produced as cheaply as possible to squeeze as much profit out of each unit. With that out of the way, the ONLY issues I have ever had with a Jeep as on my '84 CJ7 and '22 JT Overland Diesel. The '84 had a...

No update from contacts in the industry either. A good friend is the diesel tech at a well known DFW CDJR dealer and he's a bit pissed off. He's got work stacked up and no resolution / solution in sight.

I just took mine off and put it back on after installing my front and rear dash cam. No squeaks, rattles or jiggles after installing center out and making sure the rubber U's and foam pads are still there. I can't say my doors have ever squeaked. If they did, I would check to make sure the...

The CLOSEST you're going to get is the Power Wagon. It gets a bit upset when you take the doors and top off but otherwise it has solid axles and a solid driveline.

My alignment sleds are 5' long and extend roughly 2' on either side of the hub and are good for getting the hubs parallel with each other. It shouldn't have to be stated, but for completeness, the wheel has to be braced straight in the neutral position (not turned left or right) and no weight...

Used to set alignment with the same type setup on HD trucks on road stops. Would get their alignment in spec and have them check it next time they have it serviced. Only once (first time) was the alignment out of spec.

I think your objective review is what 50 - 60% of the jeep buying public is looking for and Jeep / FCA / Stellantis has finally pulled their head out to service this market. Comfort above all else and capability when needed. There will still be the Rubicon and Mojave models that cater to the...

My technique of bolting angle iron to the two lower hub studs and measuring front and back has served me well. Once a year I take it in for a proper alignment and it's usually within spec.

I'm thinking of going out next weekend to have a little fun.

I use a drill with a torque clutch set to 5 and just snug them up. Nothing crazy as it's fiberglass but not loose.

CarFax is useless. AutoCheck can be as well. They are only as good as the data reported to them and often it's wrong. Take it to a Jeep dealer and have them give it a once-over before you lay down the cash.

There are two rubber half circle grommets above the sound bar that the top sits on to dampen vibration. They are usually on there pretty good but can come off if hit just right. Check to make sure you've got all the rubber feet / grommets in place.

A few over the years '84 CJ - carb'd engine - no top - 5 speed '91 XJ - 6 colors of ugly sold it, bought it back later and sold it again '95 WJ - straight 6 and bullet proof. Not idiot proof. '95 YJ - still traumatized '02 TJ - still miss it '22 JT - P0300 of death '22 JT - HPFP left the chat...

I tighten mine inside out. Start with the two in the middle, the next two then outside two. Then tighten the two up top.

What I didn’t mention is the service experience. This was excellent and the dealer resolved all issues as quickly as possible given the circumstances.

My daughters both had 2022 Renegades and loved them. One dropped an injector at 2000 miles, the other had electrical gremlins and both were reliability nightmares. They were gone in six months.

By then she’ll want something different.

My daughter looked at those and we were close to pulling the trigger until the dealer waffled on the agreed price. She ended up with choice #2 - a VW Taos which she absolutely loves.
