    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    Jeez, I don't even want to add air to my tires when it's so cold!

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    Yea, but he's still willing to warranty the tranny & pay for the transporter out of his pocket, if we can ever find one willing to brave this weather... Thanks for the confirmation & recommendation. Thanks for that & I'll probably do the same as you & put a USB there as well as 1-2 up front...

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    Hey all, my '07 JKU is still sitting here in Montana as we haven't been able to get a transporter lined up to return it to Houston. Something about -26 degrees, a foot of snow & icy roads seems to discourage these guys from coming out here... Anyway..... the dealer in Houston is implying I was...

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    Here are some pics of my doors & the switches mounted into my dash: This JKU was converted from rollup windows to electric but the conversion wasn't very clean. I'd like to add some window switches to the rear doors so am curious what the factory electric window controls look like...

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    So there's no OEM switches on the doors for passengers to raise/lower the windows? Same with door locks? This JKU has door locking that operates only from an aftermarket fob; the standard ignition key fob doesn't operate them anymore, nor is there a master switch anywhere on the dash or...

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    The good news is the seller will warranty the tranny; bad news is the truck needs to be in Houston, which is about 1850 miles. Helluva tow, LOL. We're negotiating other options..... Question: Are the door cards for the power windows the same as the cards for the rollup windows? This truck had...

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    Yet another dumb question, I ASS-U-ME this thing has both a F&R diff as well as a transfer case, and in order to regear, I'd have to change the gearsets in both diff's?

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    Yup..... I always get a kick out of buying a "new" car & joining a new forum to learn about it and in the process discover I bought exactly the wrong model to do the things needed to make it right.

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    Any way to tell from the VIN or stickers on/in the vehicle? Right now it's sitting in a foot of snow and the nearest facility with a lift or jack stands is 1.5 hours away....

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    LOL, no not quite that naive for most sellers, but yes for this particular seller. Wow..... so $$$$ to fix just the tranny issue and $$$$$ for the swap. There goes my home remodeling budget....

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    Speedo is bang on according to GPS Dunno, Maybe ease of swap with another CDJR product? I'm talking out my *ss here because I really don't know. Need to research the other builds. No interest in converting to a carb, particularly since the car will be operated regularly anywhere from sea level...

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    Supposedly it was "gone through" by the seller who is a well known Jeep specialist in Houston, and who knew we were embarking on a very long road trip. I've always believed that taller tires lower engine RPM, all other things being equal, and give better gas mileage, so it must be the gearing...

    Hey From Montana, New Owner, New to Jeeps

    Just purchased an '07 Wrangler Unlimited X in Houston and drove it to Montana for a "shakedown" road trip. In summary: Wow...... (in a bad way). First of all, I discovered it was only getting 9 MPG out on the highway, so we could only get 125-160 miles per tank. "Experts" claimed it was...
