Would a Dana 30 be worth using?
What do you mean by "a tall order for stock axles" I have a bone stock TJ Dana 30 With 3.73's and an ARB pulling tires that are 32.5" tall and have had all 4 smoking trying to climb a "stair step" I can not see them being under any more stress than that Oh wait yes I can ZJ with a 5.7L...- J-Thompson

will p255-70-r16 fit without lift?
You can not fit a tire on that rim that will work with an IFS KJ You would need a tire that is at least 12.5" wide To stay on the rim when aired down For perspective I run an 11.5" wide tire on a 7" wide wheel I think they are 7" may be 8" They are stock TJ wheels I can air down to...- J-Thompson

If I am wrong And there was nothing wrong with the paint or the application process and it is 100% customer neglect Why would Chrysler come off the money to replace even 1 set? And here is some food for thought Suppose my parents bought me the KJ for graduating high school in Louisiana Then I...- J-Thompson

So what? You still have yet to show me any reason why they did not simply get a "off spec" batch of paint and the bean counters figured out that it would be cheaper to replace a few LCA's then to face class action Think Ford/Firestone 25psi ,or what ever was on the door of the...- J-Thompson

Thinking about it the small facility we have here can batch 2000 gallons at once for marine use This would easily paint 20,000 LCA's So yeah a bad batch of paint could easily lead to a recall like this- J-Thompson

Apparently you have never seen what goes on inside the facilities where they make the paints that are used on cars I have ,as a contractor They make several 1000 gallons at a time And that is just the color not the hardener If when the paint or hardener were made either was off or if at...- J-Thompson

You have yet to show why it is the customers fault the paint on the LCA's is piss poor for '04-'05 Those are from an '02 The LCA's on my TJ look close to that ,surface rust like the sliders but where I live 50% humidity is considered very low Bottom line Jeep screwed up They have...- J-Thompson

You still loose Unless it is printed in the owners manual about a specific cleaning schedule and the dealer offers it then salt is the cause but cleaning will not help IIRC Mitsubishi recalled a select group of cars sold in a select area due to paint fade Maybe they should have just told...- J-Thompson

So only those year liberties and no other car ,truck or suv gets exposed to salt? Or by your reasoning only people who bought those year KJ's do a poor job of "maintainin" their vehicles I just don't see where you can say that because a company made a lower quality part or used a lower...- J-Thompson

Not sure about where you live but in Louisiana we are a "right to work" state which means that we are a "right to fire your butt" state I could fire you for having b.o. and you could do nothing unless you had a written letter from a dr stating that your b.o. was a medical condition so...- J-Thompson
