Yep, I found and read this article as well when this all unfolded. The gory details: Vehicle is my wife’s daily driver, plus the “family truckster” when we go on vacation, haul the dog around, etc, but it generally didn’t see a lot of miles and was never wheeled. First symptoms I noticed in the spri...

Hello, and thanks for the questions. It's a 5.7 lift gate, not drop No rot...the car has been garaged since we purchased it. Full disclosure on any other possible concerns: We replaced one of the air springs a few months ago - right rear, I believe There's a small tear in the backseat leather undern...

Hello Jeepers! 2012 Cherokee Overland. Approximately 106k miles. Silver, tan leather interior, sunroof, etc…all the goodies. Location is SE MA on the 495 belt. This is a project car at this point: I’m told by two separate mechanics that the motor is history – flattened camshaft due to lifter failure...

I owe a couple of folks some beers. Thank you. In the process of poking around with the voltmeter, I found that the connection to the starter (that I replaced) was loose. I think I need to fire my mechanic. Best part, as I crawled under the jeep, I managed to put my head into a pool of something tha...

Realizing this problem could have a lost of possible sources, was looking for some advice on where to start diagnosis... My '03 Rubicon has been garaged this winter, tried the turn it over last week and I get nada save for a loud click. Engine doesn't turn. Background: Starter was replaced two years...

Guys - thanks for the feedback. Appreciate it.

Anyone care to offer suggestions on a replacement tire for the Michelins that we currently have on our 2012 Overland? The OEM tire has worn very poorly. Would prefer to find something that holds up a bit better. I run BFG on my pickup, and Goodyear on the TJ, both of which I like, but a quick search...

Looks good Brian.

What is the source of the front fenders? Is that your own fab, or did you buy?

I like the lens flare in the first picture. Makes it look like the Jeep was delivered by Angels.

Nice truck. This is me being jealous.

Eve was a sweetheart of a person. I was part of her first BSJ run a couple of years back. We found out after a short conversation that we attended the same high school. I recall being up to my knees in mud at one point helping to change a tire that had failed and the group joking about how burned th...

Welcome dEEpBluE4.

Was at Gilette tonight getting dinner with the family and my 11 year old daughter noticed a "cruise night" going on and suggested we have a look. Was hoping to see more Jeep represented, but only saw a couple - a Cherokee and a sweet J10. Never seen one "in the flesh" before. Two...

Sawzall! As a former house framer, that's an idea I like. Of course, I may need to use the Sawzall to make room somewhere in the jeep to carry it, but it's still a great idea. :=)

Chain....check.

Thanks for the file Kurt. I'll have a look before I go spend the money I don't have.

After the last run out, I'm thinking of re-evaluating what I'm carrying for tools. Was looking for suggestions from club members for "must have" tools. What do you think is critical that you carry? Currently I bring along a fairly basic Craftsman socket/wrench set augmented with some other...
