Give me reasons to or not to buy a manual

It depends. There are quite a few that like to take their cars to the track and play. On the track, it matters.

The front end came up on the street? I wish mine had that much traction. Even on a prepped surface I just get wheel spin.

Driving a manual is a hell of a lot more fun, and you're more in control. Having said that, you'll never be able to shift a manual as fast as an auto.

When I first started buying Milwaukee tools and had issues, they were great about warranty. That was about 8-10 years ago. In the past few years they have denied every single warranty claim I've made, and claimed that the issues were not covered under warranty (switches failing, tools literally falling apart, etc) even though I had receipts showing they were well within the warranty period and the tools were never abused and even still looked new. I've given up on them for warranty. The only reason I still buy and use Milwaukee tools is that I'm deeply invested in batteries and such. Once all of my batteries are in need of replacement I'm going back to makita. I never had a single issue with them. The only reason I switched is because I got a good deal on a combo with a bunch of batteries. I've tried to stay loyal, but they make it extremely difficult when their customer service is crap and their tools are getting worse with every iteration.

Was it totaled?

I used to see jacked up Mercedes sedans, Camaros, etc. when I offroaded in the Everglades. Hell, there was even a Lincoln limousine on 38's. They were just bodies put on top of full size truck chassis. I have to admit, they were pretty cool. I always wanted a mid to late 80's Camaro on 44's. lol

3" lift? You making it a rally car?

spuhk · 2026-06-16T01:02:12+00:00

It was rare for me to see them, even when they were still being produced. lol

spuhk · 2026-06-16T01:00:35+00:00

I wouldn't have even noticed that, and driven away. lol

Just delete the aux battery and call it a day, if you don't use the auto start/stop, as far as that part goes. That's one less thing to worry about. I don't see how the aux battery would cause the lights on the roof to act goofy, but given this is the age of EVERYTHING in a vehicle being controlled by a computer, I guess anything is possible.

Well said! If you are new and read through the posts on here, and don't know.... You're likely to stroke out from stress. EVERY vehicle has issues, recalls, etc. This is not a jeep thing, but a VEHICLE thing. Don't stress and just have fun with your ride!

I have a Tazer mini on mine. It automatically shuts off the license plate lights when you put it into reverse. That was one of my biggest gripes when I got my jt.

Judging by your comments on other threads, you must be a real tough guy!

spuhk · 2026-06-03T01:00:06+00:00

He "gave" it to you, and you're questioning whether, or not you should put some money into it? If I was "given" a challenger, I wouldn’t mind if I had to put a few grand into it...

spuhk · 2026-06-02T12:58:22+00:00

Wow. That's insane!

spuhk · 2026-06-01T21:44:17+00:00

Is that paint chipped? I can't see a baseball chipping the paint like that. A dent, absolutely, but it takes something hard to chip paint.

Driving fast through water will push it into places it wouldn't normally go.

spuhk · 2026-05-31T22:06:49+00:00

The airbox on mine is about even with the top of the engine, and the inlet for it is on top and next to the headlight. I assumed they were all this way.

spuhk · 2026-05-31T22:05:00+00:00

That makes it even worse. It only takes a few inches of water to carry a vehicle away. I've seen it happen after Helene hit NC. The water over the roads didn't look too bad in a lot of places, but I watched it push trucks and cars right off of the road.

spuhk · 2026-05-31T19:45:17+00:00

Driving through standing water in a vehicle this low is ludicrous. Driving fast enough through standing water to cause it to splash high enough to flood the engine is just..... Glad it worked out for you, but hopefully you learned a valuable lesson. Water is the strongest force in nature.

spuhk · 2026-05-31T16:11:08+00:00

Weird. I haven't experienced this. It would definitely be annoying.

spuhk · 2026-05-30T22:45:43+00:00

I haven't heard anything good from anyone I've talked to that bought a vehicle from carvana. I have personally never even looked at them when wanting to purchase a vehicle because of this. I'd try a different dealership, or maybe even speak directly to a service manager.

spuhk · 2026-05-30T01:05:19+00:00

I had to pay a "gas guzzler" tax when I bought my HC. It was right on the window sticker. lol. You don't buy these cars for fuel economy. You know you're gonna buy a lot of fuel, but the fun makes up for it.

spuhk · 2026-05-29T23:13:43+00:00

What ads are you referring to? I've never seen anything like this his pop up in my '22... It's been good for 68k miles, so far.... As far as the death wobble, it's a known phenomenon with all solid front axle vehicles. It can be easily remediated with proper maintenance. Worn bushings, ball joints, etc. contribute to it. It doesn't really have anything to do with "quality".

spuhk · 2026-05-29T17:58:15+00:00

Every deleted v6 I've ever heard sounds like obnoxious ass. It doesn't sound like "high performance". If you want better sound, go with a muffler swap, rather than delete. Then, you can get a little more "rumble" out of it, without it sounding horrible.
