    Any back window adjustment???

    I'm wondering the same thing. My rear hatch tailgate window is pushed over about 1/8 of an inch and hitting on the bottom of the pillar. It's starting to prevent it from closing correctly. Anyone have thoughts on adjusting it? The last thing I need is that window to pop when one of my kids try...

    HOW TO: Install Sirius Starmate

    ok I hate to bring up really old posts but this needs to be updated. First, the new Sirius Radio's have a voltage step down in the cig-lighter plug so they go from 12V down to 5.2V. If you try and use 12V the radio just will not turn on so you need the voltage thing. There are a couple ways...

    Factory Subwoofer Install

    Takes about 20 minutes with a couple of normal hand tools. The wiring harness is made to plug into the Jeep wiring harness so no splicing is required. It is very very easy.

    Big Bear California

    I missed the LOST event this year for Big Bear but the wife and I drove up for the weekend of "camping" (i.e. Best Western). Here is a pic from the trail we were on today. Easy level 1 stuff but fun and great scenery. I made it a little bigger but it is worth it...

    Front Brake Disc Replacement?

    The old standard for drum brakes was to check them every second time you replace the front disk pads. Just pull the drum cover off and check the wear/blow out all the brake dust. They are not hard to change. It's alot easier if you get the two special tools for drum setups. A spring compressor...

    Bike Racks Galore

    I have the MOPAR tire mount bike rack. We like it. The bikes are much easier to get to for my wife as she is under 5'6". The roof rack she'd never be able to get the bikes down! As for the load issue, if MOPAR is selling it you can be pretty sure there is not much chance for long term damage to...

    So, the wife gets the oil changed, and they tell her...

    they always pull this with my wife. I always try and take the cars in now when they need to go in and if it's just for an oil change I tell them up front only to do the oil and what to use. for some reason these people think when they see a female they can take advantage...

    I need a tow rope

    Keep in mind when your thinking about overkill that the weight you see if pounds of force. Not weight pounds. The difference is the former you have to add some things into the calculations. Like friction (think stuck in deep mud), weight (this one you already know), and force applied (think the...

I probably have 10 full-ups since dec 10th :-) so it will be a while before i have any decent data, but I do know my 05 only gets like 13.7 MPG at best but it's almost all city driving...
