I have mountain property and barely any soil under the sod. Took me over 20 yrs to get it all green and I have no aspirations of a weed free lawn. Good thing too as last year our great granddaughter came over, pulled out a sandwich bag full of dandelions and proceeded to blow them across the yard.

Did you discuss the paint sag with them? Personally that sag would bug me every time I used the jeep since it's on the driver's side.

I'd take it back and make them fix the run along with the door lock. A paint sag in an easily viewed area is never acceptable. No reason for them not to have switched the lock back or at least provide a key for the replacement door.

My stepson used to have a Liberty and both of his back windows quit working [would actually slip down] Since it was rare for anyone to ride in the back seat and to save him money I just propped those 2 windows up. On his there was a plastic gear that stripped out if I remember correctly. Are...

A lot of vehicles specify replacing it but I never have unless it was dripping when tight.

Maybe cut and splice the wires before they reach the connector ?? That plug on the XJ I used to have was toast and I couldn't find a replacement. I ended up making my own - not really weatherproof but I taped it up. Worked fine for the few more yrs I owned that jeep.

wired up backwards ??

I'm sure you know this but be sure to pay attention to the gas when you drain it. There is a good chance that tank will need to be cleaned out.

I've only been driving jeeps for about 25 yrs or so. If I understand correctly the duck thing started during covid ......... and the girl that started it has since passed away. I've been ducked three times.

My jeep is my daily driver except I no longer drive daily. My wife's car goes almost twice as far on a gallon of gas but is a LOT harder for me to get in/out of. It's supposed to start snowing later this morning so I'll need my jeep to go up/down my mountain driveway. 1-3" today and then...

That is neat, never seen/heard of that before.

Not a fix but rather a work around. I've had old vehicles in the past where the horn wouldn't blow via the steering wheel so I'd disconnect the wire going to the wheel and then run it to an add on button mounted to the steering column or dash. Something like this -...

Merry Christmas everyone!

What are you needing to paint? If you are wanting to repaint the entire jeep either blue should be ok. Repainting a section may or may not work as paints can fade over time. If you can get an aerosol can of each color and paint a piece of metal that should help you determine which is the right...

A little hard for me to tell from the pics but what I did with my 1990 XJ was keep the hard pipe and use regular heater hose for the short flexible parts.
