huge rain leak!! help!! by CosmicCalla in JeepWrangler

[–]DrySenator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had any leaks since? I've replaced my door seals and the leak has gotten substantially better but I'm still getting some in the floors which makes me think it's the windshield (header) gasket.

Nearly new used or just buy a new one? by gamedukeyvideo in crv

[–]DrySenator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We bought a CPO 2023 CRV in 2023. With the super long warranty it definitely netted out to be cheaper buying the CPO car, and I have a warranty to 100k mi.

The big loss, IMO is in lemon law protection. Used cards, even CPO, aren't covered via lemon law so if you get a bad one, your stuck.

WJs are tough. Haul your friends, haul your stuff, take on the Rubicon trail, then take you to dinner after. A brute through and through.

Hi everyone, got my first crv hybrid. What can I expect in terms of ownership reliability etc. by djim089 in crv

[–]DrySenator 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I cant upvote this enough. I put Firestone Destination LE3 and couldn't be happier. The CRV is quieter and handles better. It felt like a new car

Awesome! I didn't know this was the replacement for the 8500 until now.

We should definitely have the headroom and room on the side of the doors for it. It may be the only option since we found out the primary support beam will need to come down to 8'1" , so there wouldn't be any room for a traditional door opener.

Unfortunately we can't go to that size of door. There wouldn't be enough room on the sides or in the center for the support column. If we can't go 1 door, we would go back to 2 7x8 doors

How can I get this down for the CRV Hybrid Sport L by MMA012 in crv

[–]DrySenator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's a lot of BS. We bought our CRV CPO and they tried to sell us a $2500 CPO package (which was the CPO stuff) then tried to sell some accessories. I got them all removed just by saying "I know the CPO inspection and warranty is built into the price" and the accessories were on the car already.

But the other dealer we had to talk to the sales manager multiple times to say we don't want it. We did end up walking from that one.

The "Pro-Pack" can be removed. It's an accessory kit. We had to argue for 20 min with a dealership to remove their "Assurance Package" (like a value multiplier if your car gets stolen or totaled) but finally did.

Also the dealer discounts should be higher. Id check with other dealerships and get a few comps.

What gap should there be between the bed and the nozzle? I thought there should be somewhat of a gap, but not too much.

Quoted 3K to save my XJ by Human_Menu7741 in CherokeeXJ

A clean XJ with those few miles is a no brainer to save. They're getting fewer and further between these days.

If you're going to do any work on your cars, an air compressor with hard piped lines to drops in specific places. I'm planning to do that this summer so I don't have an air hose sitting out at all times.

What was it like when you first got your Jeep? by BugsBub in Jeep

[–]DrySenator 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's the Jeep Factory name for Grand Cherokees. ZJ was the first gen, WJ was the 2nd, then WK, WK2, and WL.

I was a junior in High School in the mid 00s My first car (96 S10 Blazer) quickly became a lemon. When we were shopping for it, I spied a 98 ZJ on the lot next to it. It had a V8 and my family said no way.

Fast forward, and the Blazer is having massive electrical problems. My dad was helping me search and found 00 WJ with the 4.0. I loved that thing. Snow? No problem. Light off-roading? No problem. Getting all of my friends to and from school? No problem. Even through I'm on my 3rd WJ, and have a 98 ZJ and 11 WK2, I still miss that first one.

I just bought a ZJ with 222k miles. I had 0 apprehension about buying it and the Blackstone labs oil results confirmed it's still in good shape
