Got it, misunderstood the vehicle to which you were referring.

Probably depends on the insurance company. My nephew's 2016 2dr was just hit and totalled. He had a paint matched hardtop, lift, 35s, aftermarket wheels, ~70k miles, super clean, etc. I believe they gave him somewhere in the neighborhood of $20k give or take. It really surprised me to be...

Agree. I don't know why they get the hate that they do. It has proven to be worthwhile on every vehicle I own alerting me to an issue (puncture on the Wrangler and Escape, leaky valve on the SuperDuty) before I would have seen it otherwise. I don't know about most people, but I certainly...

That is what I did last Summer. I hate the locking ones and, unless you have something really custom, really savvy thieves have most of the universal patterns anyway. So they're a deterrent, but also can be an annoyance. For instance, when a dumbass like yours truly is in a hurry pulls a...

Agree. My starting point is that the "parts" are worth 50% of new at best. So the seller says they put 10k into something - I'd be willing to give them 5k if they are modifications I want. Many times they aren't (or are a total hack job) and can detract from the value. Then I strip off...

Got it, Thx! I was just curious, never had a reason to look for them.

Anyone know what gauge cluster that is?

Folks will bash on the OEM part, but there have been improvements over the years to help with the known problem areas. Mine is at 78k now (2016), and since it isn't a daily driver, I will probably just replace it with another OEM part if the need arises. I'm more concerned with infant...

My first thought based on your description was trans related, not engine related. I would replace the trans fluid and see if that helps.

Looks great! You've probably mentioned it before, but what size tires are those?

~2qts I believe

I dig it! Clean and stealthy looking!
