    Rear shock replacement cost

    I'm pretty sure my rear shocks need replaced. I'm hearing a popping sound on hard acceleration. What is a good estimate for a shop to do this right now? I don't want to tackle this myself because of rust.

    Test drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee today

    I was fully intent on buying a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee today. The Jeep itself was really nice, but I didn't like the drive for a strange reason. I did not like the slanted windshield. I like our TJ windshields. Forget them aerodynamics! This happen to anybody else?

    Plate in between frame and skid plate

    Looking to buy a non-TJ

    I'm at the point where I love my TJ so much that I don't want to run it in the PA winter salt anymore. I want it to last for many more years. So, I'm looking for a second vehicle to run in the wintertime. I want something reliable that's in the 5,000-dollar range. Obviously has to be in 4wd or...

    Cracked exhaust manifold question

    I've seen on sites that the older TJ ones don't crack as much. Why? Did they change the exhaust manifold?
