    fuel overflow

    Don't your gas pumps shut off automatically when near full? Overflow has never happened to me in 7 years. And I even round up after the pump shuts off but never had an overflow.

    Winter driving

    The cost of auto insurance in Brooklyn (NY, not MI) is surpassed only by those in Beirut & the Gaza Strip.

    Winter driving

    I just got my insurance renewal policy. I get $485 discount for ABS combined on both my Js. That's significant!

    Winter driving

    Ok, whatever, ABS is bad, it sawks, it serves no purpose, it's for weak drivers & pu$$ies. Whatever opinion you want to impart upon us, the bottom line is I receive over $200 discount on my insurance for having ABS on my KJ & WJ. Now go ahead and bash that.

    Winter driving

    ABS is not meant to stop you faster or any better. It simply enables you to steer the vehicle out of harm's way in situations where brakes tend to lock up. Obviously, trying to execute a turn while you are skidding on locked up brakes will result in a high pucker factor. I would not...

    uprated battery

    This stock battery is the best freakin battery I ever had!!! 7 years old, 17 degrees cold, my daughter gets to school & I get to work on time! I am definitely shopping for a new battery tomorrow as I fear this thread is a wake up call.

    No more JEEP Service in Brooklyn

    Jeep is closing it's last service facility in Brooklyn NY. Kings county residents must now travel to Manhattan or Queens to get their KJ serviced. Just 3 short yrs ago, there were 3 Jeep service facilities in the borough.

    have to check this out

    My KJ will be 7 this April. Been to the dealer for LBJ recall 1 & 2 and THAT'S IT. This is not a high-mileage vehicle, but time & the Northeast's elements can take there toll nonetheless. Matter of fact, I have not even replaced the oem battery & it is still cranking her up, even on 7...

    new guy, interesting problem

    See if you can sell him "extended hospitalization warranty insurance" before you deck him.

    new guy, interesting problem

    Most everything people sell is a money maker for them. Why would folks be in business otherwise? It being a gamble notwithstanding, an extended warranty is like any other purchase. You can pay $1200 -$1600 @ the stealer, or you can wait 7 months after purchase until Chrysler sends you an...

    All Wheel Drive = Full Time 4WD?

    The QDI definitely xfers power side to side. Both front & rear vari-lok axles have gerotors that work similarly to the gerotor in the xfer case. "In Quadra-Drive, the NV247 transfer case is mated to front and rear axles containing Jeep's Vari-Lok differentials. Vari-Lok differentials also...

    All Wheel Drive = Full Time 4WD?

    The Quadradrive system - NV247 mated to vari-lock diffs - is more of a true 4 wheel drive system as power can be routed front to back or side to side.

    Question about TSBs

    Thanks to everyone for your posts. I'll give the dealer a whirl if emissions warranty is govt-mandated 8 years. The WJ first hit the street 11/2001. I still think its the leak detection pump vent valve referenced in the TSB. Thanks again everyone.

    Question about TSBs

    Sorry guys, this question is actually about my 2002 WJ, but jeepsunlimited is down. It failed inspection cause the comp. threw a code p0442 & p0455. Loose gas cap, right? WRONG. A new g/c didnt work. I found a TSB #25-001-02revA that says to perform a specific test BEFORE, looking for...

    What are some cool mods that are relatively cheap?

    You can do the Maglite thing and have some gap left over for Trim-brite chrome door edging. Cut it up into twentyone 9.5 inch strips and stick it on the vertical plastic found on the grille. I did it in 2002 & have kept it on ever since. I've even seen a few WKs with this mod.

    I LOVE my Goodyear Wrangler SR-A's!!!

    Yup - A KJ on Eagle RS-A is like a BMW M3 on BFG A/T KO. Not a good marriage.

    I LOVE my Goodyear Wrangler SR-A's!!!

    AND they cost $151 each @ Tire Rack for stock KJ size. Major rip-off.

    I LOVE my Goodyear Wrangler SR-A's!!!

    Those of you who got the Wrangler SR-A are fortunate. My KJ came equipped with Eagle RS-A, which is the same tire Nissan equipped the Maxima with. I recall Jon was running these as well & he was slipping & sliding at the car wash.

    I believe if you install the ARB bullbar, you won't be able to use tow hooks for front recovery point as the bullbar mounts up in the front tow hook cut-outs.
