To sum things up easily, the Jeep mechanics these days are not what they used to be. It’s not as simple as that. Today for the most part, we walk into dealerships assuming that they know everything and know how to fix everything but the truth is, they are mediocre at best. I unfortunately, I’ve...
On my profile, you’ll be able to notice. There was a few issues in the beginning of ownership and shortly after. It spends some time in the shop for misfiring on cylinder one I think it was and it was extremely bad at the time. It was finally repaired because of a wiring harness that has shorted...
I picked up two front doors from a local guy for 300 bucks. They’re from Bestop and they are brand new. Unfortunately they do not come with the door latches. The cut out is there, but I need to buy them. What is the correct part number or can anybody link me in the right direction? Every time I...
It has been a while, but I originally had them both hooked up to the one harness and it was nothing but problems. Since then, I had hooked them up to the Oracle plug-in play harness that plugs into the trailer harness. Zero issues seince and it looks awesome. Thank you for the input though. It...
Just wanted to give everybody an update. I’ll try to keep it brief. I should be getting my Jeep back by the end of the week. Yeah, one entire month. The shop replaced every single part on the suspension. I insisted that the truck go to a specialist in the local community because I didn’t like...
I started to get a little frustrated with the Shop today. I told them that they can’t handle this vehicle. I know that sounds a little cocky, but truth be told, this front end on the Rubicon is not the same as a minivan or Honda Civic. They really don’t mess with cars like this very often. I...
I know that this post is a couple years old, but I’m hoping you can help me out. I had a similar incident with my Jeep. My front right was hit and the lower control arm was bent and then they had to order a bunch of other parts. Right now they are throwing even more parts at it because it won’t...
16 days later and still don’t have it back. They subbed it out to a 4 x 4 specialist, and have replaced damn near everything on the front end. I know that he’s swapping out Tie rods and something else tomorrow and then they’re going to try for alignment one more time. If they don’t get the...
Well, things could be definitely worse. But it was just about where you assumed as far as damage. Obviously the control arm was replaced. Control arm mount was bent, but the frame is straight as an arrow. They subbed out to a 4 x 4 shop in the area that’s well known. I was happy that that...
I won’t get into the embarrassing details, but the front right corner hit a stationary object. Didn’t notice too much cosmetic damage until I got in the vehicle and noticed the steering wheel was upside down while I was driving straight! Where the fun begins,…..
First thing I noticed was the...
I received both of these bumpers at no charge from a friend of mine. The golden eagle is off a 2018 Jeep Wrangler and it was put on my buddies Gladiator. The stubby is off of an older wrangler. Both were involved in some accidents and need some work done. Are either of these ones worth my while...
Can you please share with me how you connected your Colorshift headlights to the XBT?? my headlights came with one BC1 controller and I’m so glad that I found out there’s other options. I noticed the.XBT has a flat for pin connector. How did you connect your screw on connectors? Did you just cut...
I have a 9 inch Oracle Colorshift and one single BC1 Bluetooth connector. Of course I was not aware that you can only control one zone with one single controller. I was about to purchase two more controllers so I can control the other halo and the Demon eye. Then I found out from somebody that...
Just so everybody knows, I am a construction foreman and I talk shit like this all the time. So I’m not surprised by their actions at all. One video was so bad that somebody in the background yelled at them and said that there’s a camera in the car filming, but they continued to talk shit...
It’s been a little while, so I wanted to update everybody. My Rubicon finally went into the shop a couple weeks back. I went over every single issue that I had. I’m sure if you’ve read the post or look at my post, you’ll have a better understanding. I take it in and it’s there for a few days and...
Just an update ,…
jeep is finally going into the dealer today. This is the 5th and I hope final time in the service department. If you read my original post, what would you guys suggest that I have them look at? I know it’s a dealership, but it seems as if most of you guys know more than they...
So I brought her in today and I got a new seat cover for driver seat. Warranty covered it. Everybody at the shop. Tried to tell me it was normal but I’m glad it was changed out because it looks great right now. This was something I had brought up in the beginning of the og post.
With that said,…...
Oh, I’m well aware that there “fueling while engine was running” for engine lights was a stupid response. I’m just saying that it makes them equally as stupid for letting me take delivery of the jeep.
I completely understand what you’re saying. I don’t think I’m going to give up on it quite yet. As to everything you suggested, I’ve gone through all of that. I have tested and taken apart and put back together all of that stuff. All my fuses are seated properly in the terminals are, nice and...
