    Best bank to finance TJ

    Just to simply put it. I sold my rubicon last year. HIGHLY regret it. So now I want to buy another one but it seems my 2 local banks are not connected with the prices of tjs nowadays. Anyone got a recommendation for a good bank or credit union? Specifically in the west TN and middle TN area.

    OPDA Failure

    My 05 rubicon recently jumped time going about 65 down the highway. Got a couple questions for you fine folks about replacement parts, but first let me explain.
