The Mojave wasn't out when I posted this. I didn't know they were steel on the Mojave, that is odd that the one model would have a different material, would think there would be an added cost to having two?
The truth, I just want and miss my Jeep. Last night, went out to shoot the blue moon and was thinking about a foreground subject and the thought popped in my head to use my Gladiator, then I remembered I don't have my Gladiator.
Venting! Who should I be mad at, had a transmission that was shifting rough, waited two month for part to come in, after putting in part, discover transmission is shot. Fluid turned black and there was metal. Warranty company wanted me to authorize it to be torn down (this way if they decide not...
Yeah, I'm seeing I'm paying a price for wanting to be able to take the top off my truck. My last Toyota had over 200,000 miles with only tires, battery, belts and brakes being about the only things needing replaced in that time period.
All 70k miles are road/highway, the stock is crap after the guy that is rebuilding my front end showed me his dumpster full of rods, Jeep is crimping the ends on, welding is too expensive. Tell me a crimp is going to hold when stress. All the ones in the dumpster had the ends pulled out about...
Properly engineered ball joints do not wear out at 70,000 of street/highway driving. Stopped at Wheat's Off-road in Orleans Indiana, going to cost me over 2k to fix the wobble. He showed me the factory rods, the ends are crimped on, no welds, had a dumpster full of them. Beefing up the whole...
I've been told that the problem could be fixed by Jeep just by going back to leaf springs. If they are going to use coil, they need to drop the solid axle if they can't cure what I've heard just about every Jeep owner say has happened at some point with their Jeep. All one has to say is death...
My frustration is that every time, something different has "fixed" it at least till the next time. First the dampener seemed to fix it, then new tires and an alignment seemed to fix it, then just putting on my snow tires seemed to fix it, then putting back on the new tires, last year, and the...
Alignment done last spring when I got the new tires, exact factory replacements, that did stop a wobble that I was starting to feel. It is like if anything is not just perfect, from PSI to alignment, you can have death wobble.
After one year? My Jeep has been into the dealer for all service intervals, and been well maintained. So no it is an engineering problem when I get a card from lawyers about it.
Yeah, it seems that everything has to be perfect with the front end. Just changing from the snow tires, I did have one wobble with it when we hit 70 east out of Indy in December with the snow tires, to the less than a year old set of exact factory replacement tires that were all at 36#'s, and...
I have a bone stock, 2020 max tow, first year took several long highway trips hitting speeds of 80 maybe even a little more with no complaints about the suspension. Second year, on a trip hit a poorly maintained highway (I69 north out of Indy) and almost every bridge felt like a speed bump in a...
Loved how easy it is to open, hate the noise when I get over 60-65 mph, took it off when I went on vacation because of the highway noise and was planning on being totally topless on vacation. Never put it back on, gave it to another member of our Jeep club to see if he had better luck.
