It doesn't do too bad, I don't get to use 5th very often, but I think with a re-gear it would be fantastic. I'm trying to hold off on that until I can afford an axle swap.

If it weren't for just having a bikini for the front seats, I'd go topless whole year round. I'm telling you, having people ride in the back in the beautiful Costa Rican rain is not so fun. Have had them use umbrellas in several occasions, but having one fly out and almost cause an accident probably was an indicator that this is not a good idea. Edit: for me, family bar=front/back bikini top Steiler Drep fucked around with this message at 09:34 on Jul 1, 2011 |

Boomerjinks posted:Put the top up (minus windows) for the first time this year. I burn easily so I normally run top up and no doors/windows the whole summer except for the exceptional day that it's too hot for the top. I get plenty of air and it's less damaging on my skin. Then again, I know there are people with soft top jeeps that drive them all summer without EVER taking the top or doors off. Those people need to have their jeep cards removed. InitialDave posted:I once had a Suzuki (in low first) that I stalled on a hillclimb just roll backwards with worrying ease, engine compression and direction of rotation be damned. I loved my dad's sidekick. I swear that thing went everywhere. I would buy another one if I saw a deal.

Is there such as thing as warranty transfer or "certified" when it comes to the newer used jeeps? I think I determined on the website your SOL if your the second owner, but I can't seem to find if any dealers (or jeep) offers a warranty on the used products directly.

I think I determined on the website your SOL if your the second owner, but I can't seem to find if any dealers (or jeep) offers a warranty on the used products directly. Depends on the year. If it had the lifetime warranty, zero zilch nada (except the Federal Emissions Warranty) transfers to subsequent owners. If it had a regular warranty and was sold pre-lifetime, that transfers for a fee. If it has the 3/36 from post-lifetime, that transfers for $0. If it's Certified Pre-Owned, you're the owner of that warranty, plus the balance of any original factory warranty, and it's transferable to subsequent owners, and the CPO buyer can extend it to lifetime. Chrysler will let you put a Chrysler extended warranty on anything that's under 4/48 from its in-service date. (For things like dealer demo or lease vehicles, that can be the date of delivery—for safety, assume the build date on the door/jamb is the in-service date unless they can show you a Chrysler VIP Report that says otherwise.) No inspections. Pick your plan, pay a Chrysler dealer or Chrysler, and off you go. Extended warranties are also transferable to subsequent owners for $50(?) or so.

Just tried to fold my windshield down today. The windshield came done, but the hinges did not move.  Buying a new set right now just in case, $64, gently caress me!

Thanks guys. I've been looking at the 2008-2010 range and I couldn't figure out the deal with warranties or transfers of said warranties if it was possible or not to subsequent owners. Additionally, I've only seen ONE "Certified Pre" vehicle at a dealer.

I'd seriously wait until the 2012 or get a TJ if i was you. The 3.8 in the JK is a gutless wonder. They also had problems with soft metal front covers, but i believe that was fixed in 08. Never seen oil actually leak through a metal before until i had a 07 JK. If you're ever going to take the doors off dont get power windows, makes them pretty heavy.

Sponge! posted:How'd you manage to break an I6? The head cracked. There was play in the piston/rings and the walls had no more hone. So short block is getting rebuilt and I'm buying a reman cylinder head. I could have slapped it all back together with a new head and gaskets and called it a day, but I have a crazy obsession with "doing things right" after watching my father half rear end his way through projects over the years.

I got lucky I guess. The bottom end on mine was still tight when my head cracked. Good luck locating a head though, lots of 2000-2001 heads are junk and there's not many of later years left around it seems. No, you can't use older heads either

I want to just order a cylinder head and have it be the right one rather than gently caress around in junkyards then bringing junkyard heads to be checked for cracks at the machine shop.

Just got back from a 1200 mile trip around Hells Canyon and had no trouble doing 80 up the mountain passes in a headwind with the top down. So don't believe all the "3.8 is a worthless piece of poo poo" hype. People are just mad and wondering why Jeep did away with the awesomeness of the 4.0L Also, re: power windows - the weight of the doors is a paltry payoff for the comfort and convenience of my power windows. They're not THAT heavy! Also, also:  This is at the base of McGraw lookout a few miles down a dirt road from the tourist ridden Hells Canyon Overlook. Notice the lack of other people? It was rad.

Of course, if they found it like that by the side of the road, then maybe they figured the damage was already done. Still seems pretty unprofessional to store it like that if it's not yet been officially declared FUBAR.

But, to alleviate your disdain, I got home yesterday and they're sitting in my apartment right now. This is the other reason I have the fabric doors. I keep them bicycle chained to the roll bar and they stay in the back seat pretty much everywhere I go (the exception is when I'm using the wrangler to work on the yard and need to fill the bed). This means I can go from top down and no doors to completely covered in a few minutes if I'm in town and a storm breaks out. I used to throw the roll-ups in the back but they were huge. Boomerjinks posted:I cannot wait until I have a garage all to myself. I am going to buy every single piece of "jeep part storage" equipment that quadratec sells! I would absolutely buy one of their hard top storage rigs if I planned on keeping my hard top. Also maybe a bag to fit my 2 soft doors.
