Any opinions on S&H?

Might end up doing this anyway because 20 years/142k miles..

Did some things. Added a cargo rack and box for more cargo space. Rack is pretty nice and sturdy, but not sure I buy the “700 pounds static load capacity” and not about to throw a RTT and the whole family up there, but still good for a box and a small basket with things and stuffs. Install was...

Just kidding. It’s tire rub.

When the steering is full lock (to the left, if that matters), there's a lovely grinding sound coming from the front of the Jeep. Initially, it thought it was tire rub, but i don't appear to have clearance issues and the sound has a distinct metallic flavor. Haven't gotten the Jeep off the...

Anyone have recommendations for Jeep shops (repair, maintenance, upgrade, etc.) in Northern California, specifically near Sacramento?

First day in almost a month in which (a) the weather was nice, (b) I wasn't working, (c) the kid was occupied/being watched so I finally was able to take care of this. All in, took about 1.5 hours between wiggling my fat ass under the Jeep and doing vehicular yoga to get arms up in there in a...

Finally took care of this. All in, took about 1.5 hours between wiggling my fat ass under the Jeep and doing vehicular yoga to get arms up in there in a position to apply any kind of torque on the socket wrench. By far the easiest vehicle I've worked on to replace all the oxygen sensors.
