Uneven brake wear, grinding noise, and brake rotor shadowing....
the pins should move with little force being applied. some vehicles are looser and some tighter. As long as they are not hard to move they should be fine.- Minimike

Replace what for a tune-up?
the engine.... just kidding, depends on your tune-up interval, a lot of newer cars only need a few things, such as air filter, oil change and an inspection. If you are in the higher mileage range you can do the following Change Oil Change Diff fluids Change Transmission Fluid...- Minimike

Uneven brake wear, grinding noise, and brake rotor shadowing....
Your caliper has 2 pins that allow it to slide left and right. If the top pin is seized you will notice the bottom of the pad will be worn more then the top and vice versa if the bottom pin is seized. Even restricted movement can cause this. (DO NOT CHECK ALIGNMENT) as someone else said 9 years...- Minimike

Aftermarket exhaust
If it sounds good, you will most likely have your foot into it more often, which means less MPG. Cut off the stock muffler and install a flowmaster 40 for lots of low end noise, or a 50 for a nice balance between sound and your ears not being damaged after a long trip. I have yet to install an...- Minimike

why am i get such terrible gas mileage?
lol thanks chill. I'm not a fan of bumper sticker, but I like windows stickers >:| In my opinion the escape would have been my next choice of vehicle. Good mileage and they have a good track record minus some rad bracket recalls and power transfer unit seal leaks.- Minimike

HOW TO: Install an HID Conversion Kit
To give some helpful hints here on the bi-xenon setup. Its VERY hard to get it working right. If you live in Canada or have a DRL system I recommend getting a low beam kit only. The problem with having DRL is that it runs the high beams at 6V. This will cause your xenon ballast to pulse and make... -
why am i get such terrible gas mileage?
lol tjkj2002... love that emoticon. I'm lifted and my hub centers to flare measurements are 21 front and 21.5 rear. I have noticed no change in mileage from stock. I put 31" tires on and again nothing really changed. I will remind you that you did not buy a jeep for "good mileage"... who does...- Minimike

why am i get such terrible gas mileage?
I was going to say that bad mileage and jeep are partners in bed. Shit mileage is what you get for a bullet proof drive train and a vehicle that out performs all other SUV's in its class (except in mileage lol). I get shit mileage but its worth it. I would like to see a Yota Rav4 or a Onda...- Minimike

project ideas?

Your Opinions on My Idea
I appreciate the comments. I didn't think this was going to be main stream. It just started as an idea for myself and others seemed to like the idea. I know its expensive but its definitely cheaper then a paint job. And right now my jeep could use a paint job. I wish I would have thought of this...- Minimike
