  1. Jeep priced me out of Gobi

    There are a few issues with your logic here ... Firstly is the notion that "they" are pricing you out of the market ... Who are "they" ? Jeep is following market trends .. And the market is pricing you out of the market ... The market plus some unrealistic timing and expectations on your...
  2. Jeep priced me out of Gobi

    I bet you can get it painted Gobi for less than 12 grand.
  3. Fuel Door Solution

    11 pages. And, I nominate this is the most rediculous gripe I've seen. They design an entire vehicle. With a complex engine, environmental systems, 4 wheel drive system, everything. And your concern is a fuel door that opens 20 degrees to little and your looking for an "after market...
  4. Fuel Door Solution

    Didn't claim it would be cheap. Just that it would make his hand feel better. Your probably right that following this advice would result in pain in other places.
  5. Fuel Door Solution

    Make your wife pump the gas. No more issue.
  6. WARNING! Gen 3. Oil change not possible.

    I wasn't debating. I was just pointing out that your statement is short sighted, unrealistic, foolish, and does not take "the reality of the once in a lifetime situation" into account. However if you wish to remain in Dreamland where service managers can conjure up oil filters, loaner cars...
  7. WARNING! Gen 3. Oil change not possible.

    Sure, talk to the guy who is not responsible for the issue that likely can't do anything about it. Then give him a date that he can't meet and threaten to return the truck that he can't take back and you can't make him take back. While you're at it I recommend that you stick your tongue out...
  8. MPG’s

    20 in the summer on the highway with no wind and using summer gas. That's about the best you will see in a Mojave. 16.4 in the winter ? Yep. That's about what I see.
  9. O

    Gives a whole new perspective on the concept of a moose knuckle ...
  10. Snake Oil or has anyone actually had plus results with ECOMAX ?

    Energy per fluid ounce of fuel Weight Wind resistance Rolling resistance If that device does not change one of the above things, well, you know ...
  11. Jeep Care Compensation.

    Id say your lucky your getting anything ... They aren't really under any obligation to do so ... I got my warranty extended to 7 years 100k for my troubles ... It seemed fair to me and I was happy to get it ...
  12. Door hinge preventative maintenance?

    They are lined with a plastic (delrin or delrin like sleeve). Any simple grease will do and more importantly wont do harm ... I used a waterproof lithium grease. If your concerned about corrosion, than something like corrosionx or corrosionX XD would also work fine .. Dust ? Just dont go...
  13. Wierd button under steering wheel

    I had one of those in my truck. No idea what it was for. In order to figure it out, I would push it every day repeatedly for 5 minutes. I kept doing this daily until I got a letter from another jeep owner in Australia asking me to cut it out.
  14. Heated Steering Wheel Heat Intensity

    Don't they collect balls at the border of California? Californian balls. Hmmm. Just sounds like sushi to me.
  15. Grill insert? Will it reduce airflow?

    Reduced airflow = reduced cooling thresholds and capacity. If there was not an engine temp increase, that the OAT outside air temp was low enough to still stay ahead of the engine cooling requirements. All good. Until the threshold is crossed and the temp begins to climb. The jeep has a...
  16. Grill insert? Will it reduce airflow?

    40% reduction in air flow ? Not a big deal ? I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that is not a reasoblnable conclusion. Change anything in a mechanical device by 40% and expect it to be no big deal ? Nope. Especially cooling. Not a mechanic, no data to cite, and I could be wrong. But...
  17. GMRS License

    Oh it's one of you. I'm as anti tax, anti regulation, anti oversight agency as anyone but c'mon man relax. And before you say it, yep I'm a ham operator. But that has nothing to do with it. There are limited airways, when left "open" things degenerate to the lowest common denominator. Like...
  18. O

    Ok, you win the obscurity award ... I love Kim Mitchell and Max Webster ... Congratulations on being the first person to mention that band to me in 30 years ... Im a big fan of Canadian rock from that time (April Wine, Coney Hatch, Sass Jordan, Triumph, Saga) ... They know how to do it...
