Guaranteed failure point once out of warranty.

They're not 'built to fail", they are built with parts from the lowest bidders, using the cheapest-possible methods. They simply will fail. When is irrelevant as long as most of it holds up until after warranties expire.

I agree. It's the trade-off for a 'presumably more reliable' non-turbo engine.

Anyone experience trade-in issues after they've dumped the aux battery/disabled ESS? It seems like winches and lifts and all that wouldn't matter, but messing with the innerworkings of the vehicle would create some hesitation on re-sale.

Credit card in quick-release wallet.

I guess my question is "how much bump is too much bump" for bump stops? Mojaves aren't necessarily made to have a front steel bumper and winch, but I've got one and a 1.5 inch Teraflex spacer. Doesn't bump on road, over potholes, but hits fairly hard on slow travel offroad. When does it go...

Send it.

This forum in 2047: "I can't believe ya'll are running 108's... That so 2035. 120's are the way."

Wow, that must have cost as much as a Harrison Ford superbowl commercial!

I understand their legal obligation to inform me. They've done that already, many times. I also know Jeep dealerships are desperate for sales and getting me to step through the door is a win. Robocalling is a thinly-veiled way to get business, justified by a recall that effected less than...

Yes. I refuse to get the recall done for these reasons. Starting last month, the dealership started spamming me with robocalls to have this work done, which I've since blocked.

Just use pulleys... 9k is more than enough for everything but hanging it from a tree. Even then, more pulleys.

...wait till you find out they used the same side valves on both sides, too.

How many of you have actually been to a dealership that gave you a straight-up, bottom line trade in value without a much larger/longer/exhausting conversation about buying another vehicle from them? In my experience, they won't tell you until they know you're an immediate buyer (from them)...

Sorry, meant to come back to this and explain a little... I've got the MT and feel it's the clunkiest MT in any vehicle I've ever owned (which is most). In fact, if you search my post history, I was very close to trading my JT in after only a year for an auto (though admittedly I also wanted...

No.

Holy crap ...how? I had 4.10s and couldn't stand it with 35's. I went 4.63 and it's back to 'perfect'. For anything more than 35's I'd look at 5.13 for sure, skip 4.88.

Since reading the thread that included trickle-charging the battery via the trailer plug, which I am now doing, my auto start/stop works flawlessly all the time. My conclusion is that there is so much residual/vampire draw on the batteries when not being used that the batteries are rarely ever...

So with a purely target-marketing perspective, "dark sky" is a cool name and speaks to me-- much like Harrison Ford did during the superbowl. Jeep seems to get marketing right. What doesn't speak to me is the "value" adjective. The other drawback is that you're still reliant on Jeep...

So in other words, final (if it succeeds) will be at least $40k with half the promised features. Yes, we've seen this game before.
