Hi all, now that old-man winter is here (yayy snow!), I figured I should be well versed in the art of towing. I have the factory tow package, and an 05 Auto Unlimited. I also plan to buy a snatch strap today, based on recommendations from this board. I'd like to know how to properly tow...

Would swapping the 195 thermostat out with a 180 thermostat possibly fix the problem?

Glad to hear there's so many local clubs :)

I was driving slowly on some real bumpy roads, normally my Jeep is bucking all over the place as I'm used to driving a Honda with much less torque. I tried using my toes to accelerate and I was able to drive it much more smoothly. Awesome tip!

Well, from past experiences with other message boards, it was nothing to jump-start an older thread especially if someone else had a similiar problem. Usually seemed to make more sense than to start up a new one that was about the same thing. Just kinda made sense to me, keep the problems...

Me so sorry ;)

Ah, neato, thanks :)

:( I wonder why so many new Jeep owners are having this same problem... Maybe I'll see if I can record the sound onto a high-quality audio recorder and post it. To my knowledge everyone on Jeep message boards who have this same problem have not recorded it for others to hear. Perhaps that...

I just noticed that there is a new recall out for my jeep. A TRANSMISSION CUP PLUG BRACKET. Could that cause the rattle?

Fix the problem?

Well, I've been surfing online and reading about other pinging Jeeps. I compiled a list of possilble causes (besides it being a jeep thing). These sound logical? Any possible additions to this list? I plan to bring it to the dealership soon and give them this list and say "go to work."...

I can drive it pretty smooth on a pretty smooth surface, but when I'm going over bumps my foot keeps shifting around slightly and I keep bucking around lol. I guess it'll just take some getting used to, thanx.

I noticed that when I take the hulk off road, it's a pain in the butt to drive the thing in 4x4 lo. 4x4 hi isn't too bad, but it is touchy too. When I mean a pain, I mean that it's nearly impossible to crawl with it. Is this just a 2005 Unlimited thing? If not, how do you go control the...

That answers my question as to why some companies that sell bumpers and brush guards talk about crumple zones. So I guess the best thing to do would be to keep the factory bumper and install a good bolt-on brush guard (which is a lot cheaper than a new bumper anyways)? Oh yeah, I guess safe...

"I had a Smitty Bilt push bar and brush guard on my Toy from '85 till I sold it last year, and it was excellent. Even broadsided an F-150 hard enough to knock it off the road in a blizzard one night (at about 10 mph) and it didn't even bend." Wow, that's what I'm looking for :) Thanks for the...

Other detailing products Sal makes are much more tricky to use than tire gloss... That's a discussion for a whole different message board I think lol. I was refering to other detailing products when I made the remark about talking to the maker of the product.

Sharpie, ROFL!!! Seriously though, it's easier to prevent fading than to fix it. Try a high-quality product like Zaino. The tire gloss will bring the black back to the plastic, but it will also prevent it from fading in the future due to UV protection. It's good stuff, plus, when you call...

Here's some bumpers I'm looking at. What is the strongest? ARB BULL BAR http://www.quadratec.com/cgi-bin/sgin0101.exe?T1=12000+101+T&UREQA=1&UREQB=2&UREQC=3&UREQD=4&FNM=00&UID=2005112613455026 http://www.jeepline.com/store/itemdetail.asp?ID=627150 EXTREME FRONT BUMPER W/BRUSH...

LoL I just posted a thread about grill guards to bounce off deer, but I'm now starting to think about idiots in the snow. People here don't drive well in the snow, and they frequently rear-end each other. So let me pose a couple questions. I notice that the tire sticks out past the rear...

Hi all, I was contemplating getting a Sentry Key Theft Deterrent System put on the Jeep. I have a question that I've yet to find an answer to. 1. Can a thief hot-wire the vehicle even though you have the Sentry Key Theft Deterrent System installed? If so, then what's the point of the...
