To all those who overpaid for a new jeep…

These guys have it right.

Melton in Claremore is having issues as well, they are offering $19.46 oil changes for up to 7 quarts of synthetic and a $5 service fee.

They told me last month they were extending it as it’s brought in so much business, didn’t know what that really meant until the little lady took her Honda in and purchased a $30 air filter. Damn I have one in the garage that cost like $12.

Its still on.

I was thinking people were looking on the lot and buying new/used like I did 3 years ago on an oil change, now I know better. They inform you of other services your car should have. That said they’re really not pushy and it’s a good deal.

Payed $50,000 out the door at JOE COOPER FOR NEW LOADED JEEP GLADIATOR. Just had 10,000 mile service, Oil had 5000 miles on it, was still at the full mark. Would not & never will buy from bob howard.

I always wanted a Jeep my entire life til i owned one and couldnt get rid of it fast enough and will never have another unless it is given to me free of charge with all taxes paid for up front and as soon as i get it will have a for sale sign in every window or wherever i can hang it.

I have got everywhere I needed to go with 2 WD and great posi track rearends and great mud tires.

If I need 4WD I should probably take another path.
Chevy rearends suck!
Based on 1985 and older stuff.
Your mileage may vary.

Never needed 4 wheel drive and have driven in snow, ice and mud in Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Colorado, Oklahoma, etc. It might have been nice a couple times; but most times not needed.

Most of the people driving around in 4X4 pickups and Jeeps never leave pavement.

To me 4 wheel drive is just something else to go wrong and maintain.

My mileage varies from Swampratt in regards to Chevy rear ends. Never had one fail. Did have 1979 Chevy company truck that the carrier bearing went out with less than 5,000 miles and dealership blamed driving through mud! Had to laugh in their face.

I am on my 8th Jeep. My current one is a Wrangler 4XE. It is the most fun to drive of any I have owned and each time I drive it I wonder if this trip is the one it will spit out some code, crap out, and die along side the road.

Do the new wranglers still suffer from the “death wobble”?

If you read the forums, yes people still say it happens to them. I have never experienced it with any of the Jeeps I have owned. I've read various opinions as to what causes it and how it can be fixed, but if it were that easy I have to wonder why Jeep has never addressed the issue with a cure to put an end to this blemish on their reputation.

Sold all my Jeeps and my new toy is a 315k 1999 Toyota 4Runner.

It still turns heads.
