    First time as a recovery vehicle

    No chance yet, but I'm still waiting on the tow hooks to come in the mail...:D While I wait, is it safe to use the subframe where the tow hooke will go? Or do I stand a chance of bending stuff up if I use that without the hook installed?

    Electrical Issue!

    Sounds like a BCM issue to me... Try holding the trip reset button down with the jeep turned off. Keep it held down, and turn the key to the on position, without starting it... and the gauges will go into a self-test mode. IF that works, then you know it isn't the gauges.

    4x2 vs 4x4. Need Help

    Holy reviving a dead thread batman... Anyhow, I just needed to put in my $.02 about Pedal Braking VS. Engine breaking, and the choice of the 4x2 over the 4x4, They do the same thing, and engine braking by no means is the solution for slipping on ice. Sure, if you are stomping on the brake...

    I'm at 156,000 miles on my '03 sport. Thing runs like a top. Only problem I've had is with the hatch window latch, and I'm still trying to figure that one out.
