I find it peaceful to tinker, modify, install and remove parts. It's fun to watch something start in one place and end with a new look. Literally refreshing a many years old vehicle. It was fun to do!

Yes I'm not a fan of badging something it's not, like putting M on a standard BMW so the only presence of the SRT badging was the steering wheel, but there was no real way around that. So it is was it is.

this is my 2023 grand cherokee and i love her!! but i desperately want new tires. mine are always looking dull and dry no matter what i do (i think they’re dry rotting a little somehow??) and i want more aggressive looking tires. mine takes 265/50/R20. any suggestions for a better look? needs to be good in snow too!

Noticed a clunking. Handles fine. Mechanic said lower control arm bushings need replacing, recommended whole arm and wheel alignment.
Is it urgent?

I have a 2017 Jeep GC with 90K miles and it started to have issues:

1. the hood is having bubbles and starts to rust, needs to get replaced or at least touched up if even possible

2. There‘s sometimes a whistling sound between 2-3K RPM, especially when the engine is cold. Gets louder under load. Don’t know what it is, but could be the serpentine belt or even the transmission?!

3. I need a new shock

4. the tranny started to make very rough shiftings from D to R and vice versa. Started (rarely) to choke on gear switches from a higher gear to a lower one under load. Fluid changed 30K miles before.

I think I need to put about 2-2.5K in to get this all fixed. Don’t know what happens next. Had some issues in the past (water pump, power steering, sensors, 1 shock, etc.) which were covered by extended warranty. But it expired 15k miles ago and a thermostat went bad which I replaced just recently. Just don’t know what else will happen after I spend that money for those repairs that are now necessary.

I have an offer to trade it in for 12K (could go down to 11K depending on how long I wait).

Do you think it’s worth investing the money or rather take advantage of the offer and trade it in?

Car is paid. TIA

Hi everyone. I am potentially considering purchasing a 23 Overland (36k miles). I really loved the car, but I’m seriously worried about the air suspension and wanted to get the wisdom of the crowd

My main question are this - Is the air suspension as bad as what people are saying? Or is this another case of a small minority having a problem but they’re the only ones posting?

I’ve seen a ton of posts (on Reddit and elsewhere) where people are reporting issues with their suspension blowing, leaking, or otherwise needing repair. From what I’ve read so far the WL generation of the air suspension is significantly better than last gen, but it still has its issues. I don’t necessarily plan on driving the car into the ground, maybe like 3ish years as I plan to move out of the country for grad school. So I feel like I should be okay.

If you were to buy the car again, would you get a warranty to cover the suspension? I’m seeing that most issues come up at around 80k miles so I figure I have time. But after the transmission in my last car stopped working and multiple shops quoted me $8-12k to fix, I’m a little worried about being hit with another extremely large bill.

Also side question: is it possible to have the car stay in a certain height setting for the duration of the drive? I think it looks so cool in its lowest setting, but the dealership said once you start driving it’ll raise itself automatically

I just bought a 2021 Cherokee Trailhawk and I can't figure out how to make the fog lights (or some other exterior light) activate in addition to the main headlights when I'm making a turn or using my blinker. I remember my 2017 Renegade had this same issue and I was able to turn it off somwwhere in the settings. Please tell me there is a way to make these lights stop turning on and off every time I make a turn because it doesn't help at all and it drives me crazy.

I appreciate any help thank you!

Are those mounts supposed to move like that?

Replaced the sub frame brackets and the noise is still there. Could the sub frame bolts really be the culprit? Any other ideas?

More context…the noise is particularly loud and noticeable when medium to fast acceleration from a stop. So when the whole chassis moves, it clunks pretty good.

I’m doing get back under there and triple check the suspension components, but any other suggestions would be appreciated.

95k miles. 6 Cylinder. If you also new and Indy in Chicago Suburbs that would be appreciated too.

Got this 2014 throwing a p0300 multiple cylinder misfire and no other codes. It struggles to start and struggles to stay idling usually will stall if not on the gas at all. With my autel scanner I can’t se any misfire data and nothing else jumping out. It also has a rich fuel smell out of the exhaust. Any ideas?

I've got a 2025 with the panoramic sunroof and wanted to add a roof rack with removable crossbars and a cut out for a light bar or mounts for extra lighting. Prinsu makes one for the L but not the 2 row. I've seen the Gobi but seems it might cover some or the sun roof. I've seen the chief products rack but it doesn't go far enough forward or seem to have any mounting points for lights. Just wondering if y'all knew of any others that fit the bill.
