Its not all about the right products, it's about using a rotary correctly. You can very easily burn the paint if you are not careful. I ran a detailing business for years before I moved and I would never let someone that has never practiced on an old car touch a new car with a rotary. For the...

I think the Commander only gets the Trail rated badge if you get the Hemi.

I have been using Griot's stuff for 8 years and will never use anything else. Once I ran out of Best Of Show Wax and had to go buy meguiars stuff. It sucked in comparison. Griot's may be a little pricey, but once you use it you will see it is worth it. If you buy the gallon size you will...

I'd go with Yakima. For the KJ you need a set of Lowriders and Crossbars. I've had mine for over 10 years and when I switch cars I just buy a set of new towers. Or in the case of my WJ to KJ switch there was nothing to buy. I have the Big Powderhound(6 skis or 4 boards),4 TLC Saddles(my...

I thought there was a kit the dealer sold that was a cabin filter. I thought a saw a thread about how to install it. If you hve that kit it would go under the hood in front of the passenger side. I will try to find that how to thread.

I was at pep boys the other day and saw 55watt 3156 bulbs for back up lights. I was worried that the high wattage might melt somthing. Would be alot easier then installing additional lights though.

Here are pics with Griot's Long Lasting Tire Dressing This first pic is of my tire two weeks after I applied Long lasting tire dressing. I love how it looks new and not super shiney. By the way, this was after a few rain storms and 2 washings. Same day just a different angle. [/img]...

For a good shine! Try using Griot's vinyl and rubber dressing. 8oz for 9.99. The stuff works great on everything. I like to use it on on a rag and clean all my rubber door gaskets. It also makes tires look like new, not that fake wet crap. If you like that look though, they have long...

I just had Revos put on and I actually saved money because I had the TPM's. all I told them was that I have TPM so you won't need to replace the valve stems and they took the valve stem charge off my bill. And with my 05 I didn't have to retrain anything. You should be fine.

meguairs gold is okay, but you haven't lived until you have tried the stuff from Griots Garage. There stuff will change your thoughts about car care. Here is a link to the water filter they sell. i have been meaning to get one, I just haven't had a chance...

The Part # and soon pics As in someone else's thread the part number for the Recall is CBXEF230. that seems to be the number for the kit that the dealer is getting. On my service invoice there is another number also. It says Balljoint 17011019. I have pics I just need to downlaod them off...

Mine is at the dealer getting LBJ's as we speak. I went in this morning because my faulty glow plug was getting replaced and I asked the dealer when are they going to start doing the recall. My service guy siad it was on my list of things to do today. Yeah!!

26k? Oh yeah, it's time for a tune-up! Where did you come up with the idea that a car needs a tune up after 26k miles. Mercedes says you don't need to change plugs for 100K. It was someting similar for my WJ Limited, maybe 75,000. If I had to do a tune up every 25,000 miles or so I would...

Thanks for your help. Everyhing you said was kind of what I was guessing, but I needed clarification. Thanks a bunch!!

So when I bought my 05 CRD from carmax it did not have an owners manual. They told me to call DC and order one and they would pay for it, Great! Well DC is backordered on Diesel owners manuals and they have no idea when they might have them. Long story short is I have no idea about what...
