The service department told me that the aux battery was sitting in a pool of water and that drained/shorted it out - in other words ruined the battery. How deep the water was I have no idea, could have been deep enough to reach the terminals. Either way the battery would no longer take a...
Earlier this year my aux battery died completely and the JT would not jump start at all because the aux battery was totally dead. Granted it had been sitting for a month because I could not drive due to surgery. But it should have charged up with a charger or at least be jumped. I had to have...
Yep, and it is not just from sitting overnight or a long period of time. It can be just a couple hours and I have a stiff brake pedal. Just takes a bit more uumph to push.
Larson was the worst of them. But Tacoma Dodge and Bud Clary, though nicer about it, did not budge much.
Bummer Tread Lightly does not apply any longer.
Hope you enjoy it when it arrives. I have enjoyed mine. Took it to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon for a camping/overlanding event and...
Did not know you had talked to him.
I went to several dealers in the south end, he saved me a couple thousand over what the local dealers were asking - and a couple even laughed when I presented what Kent offered and declined to counter offer - might have stayed local if they came within $500...
Kent Shurtleff at Peterson's in Nampa could have saved you a couple thousand - and it's only about $100 to fly out there to pick it up and maybe $60-100 in gas to drive back. And no BS going from dealer to dealer.
Don't have a RTT but do have a rack (fairly even with the roof) with a tonneu cover. Got a 2" lift, still on 33's. Around town mixed - usually 14.5-15 MPG. Here's what sucks - the cruise control. Did a long road trip from the Seattle area down to North Rim of the Grand Canyon, then to Moab...
Yes, which was a surprise because the Wrangler Rubicon had a plastic skid plate in the same place. And since the new bumper had a skid plate there, I actually have a sway bar skid plate kit from Quadratec for sale.
Ordered this a long time ago, turns out the bumper I got had a metal skid plate to cover the sway bar. This is still in the original box and wrapped snug as a bug in a rug.

Will sell for $150...
New RR HD bumper installed, OEM rock sliders not compatible. Thus a full package OEM Rubicon rear bumper and rock sliders. All mounting hardware included. License lights wiring harness not included, lights are still attached.
Asking $200 - it's a beefier bumper than the front. :) South King...
After installing my new RR Venator bumper I have this OEM Rubicon bumper available for sale. Was surprised that it had a metal sway bar skid plate - Wrangler had a plastic one. All brackets and bolts are included - you will need to get some nut-serts for the the lower frame brackets. We did...
Had the same issue with my rider bar on the Vanator - same rider bar looks like. A bear to bolt down with very little space. And yes on having to drill holes for lights - when the time comes.
Those look like used return parts - you know, as in someone installed, used for a while, did not like, so returned them. Then they were just 'rewrapped'.
Installed Rugged Ridge Venator front bumper with Rough Country 12000 lb winch, and Rugged Ridge HD rear bumper. Bad thing about the Venator - no pre-drilled holes to attach lights. But those recovery hooks are BEEFY.
Odd. I think I had the temp for less than a month before the plates showed up - I never did put them on the vehicle, kept the old plates on there until the new ones arrived.
