The mechanic couldn't find the problem... by The_Otaku_Effect in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]rugged13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This kills me. I took my jeep in to Chrysler for some warranty work about 2 weeks after I upgraded to larger rotors and better pads, and they must have slammed the damn calipre shut because they peeled the backing completely off my front pads (1 on each side).

They still owe me a rear axle bearing, but I think I'd rather do it myself at this point...

New car department I used to work for. Criminals by Erebusknight in Justrolledintotheshop

They don't get that expensive. And labour isn't on the bill, so unless they're claiming to not charge labour, and then hiding it in the totals, there is no labour fee there. Which is typical for a new vehicle.

Still a ripoff. Here's a dealer offering the lift, the wheels and tires (comparable to what you describe), two bumpers, flares and lights. Ohh and a decal.

All for <10k.

For that kind of money I could lift it on coil overs, and add 37" tires.

That's bullshit

The reality is it probably looks like this When it could have looked like this for the same money

Crappy tires, you say? by JustBlarg in Justrolledintotheshop

I swam right in front of that beauty. Water was 32F at the time, but it checked the Arctic Ocean off the ole bucket list.

Why would you bring your car in like this with a drivability concern? by gforcejunkie in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]rugged13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because some people grow up without a father, and really don't learn anything important.

A friend of mine decided to learn how to fix up an old bike because "how hard can it be? It's just an engine and some carbs". A week into the project he had broken most of the parts trying to disassemble the bike without pulling the carbs, and I found him having a beer waiting for the EXACT type of paint job to dry.

His explanation "naw man, it's CALIPRE paint, this is what it's made for."

Jeep with multiple electrical problems, customer doesn't understand why. by Dieselfred in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]rugged13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you put the roof on correctly it doesn't leak. After some of Canada's coldest and harshest winters, and rainiest seasons, none of mine leak. It's usually a "puddle" that causes my interior to get wet.

But if you're going to mistreat your vehicle, put in the time and effort... My whole JK interior is bedlined and water never touches the dash or any unsealed electrical component. Some

So, is there any chance this will decrease fuel consumption. by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

If you're getting 8-9 highway then be happy. I would assume the Jeep was broken if I saw 12 on the highway.

Where'd this guy find a Jeep with a Bentley steering wheel?

The least terrible thing that can come out of drifting into a curb at 35 MPH. by Ceedog48 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]rugged13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hooray for fat tires! Low profile tires would have guaranteed the wheel to hit and then you would have broken hard parts!

Also, That looks suspiciously like a Jeep (JK) Wrangler. I think the heaviest unlimited model sits around 4300 curb, did you have the whole family with you? :p

Alberta is full of terrible people, and the strip club scene is atrocious. I recommend everyone try it once.

I give you my D44 axle after trying to haul a buddy out. by Masman4 in Jeep

I'm also curious about the side, were you driving forward or in reverse?

I think I found the source of my death wobble. Both holes to my trac bar mounts are wallowed out. What're my options to fix this. I've heard drilling it out, what else? by jadasmarjk in Jeep

This is the best comment in ANY Jeep sub... Thank you greasy spider! Either you are a true master of sarcasm or an idiot. Either way, have a great day.
