I supposedly need new tires. Basic Bridgestone tires with 27k miles on them need to be replaced. not the fender that was damaged, the salt damaged seats from winter, the sun roof glide thing, or the crack in the display screen from excessive heating. Nope.

Tires.....rated at 40k yet are at 2/32 supposedly at 27k miels. Just insulting. GOD I HATE HONDA!!!!!!!!!!

They're slowly growing on me. I just hear tons of horror stories for how often they break. My bosses 07 Commander has had a lot of issues recently.

Morning everyone

JARblue · 07-05-2016, 09:19 AM

So glad it's not Monday. But wait ... Monday was a holiday

:headsplode:

The Z will be getting her first ride on a tow truck today

Should be a quick fix unless Z1 sent me the wrong parts, in which case I don't feel so bad about giving up.

That was my concern as well and why I don't have one. It seems anything Chrysler makes has bad Transmissions.

Time to buy a Tiburon!!! I'm pretty sure I'll own a Volvo or Versa as my next basic beater. I don't need anything fancy. And the money I save can be sued to pay off the Z even quicker. Goal is to have no CC and no Z payment by the end of next year.

I've heard this a few times from random people, but my personal experience they've been great. Problem free, and I've had 6 or 7 of them now. The Wranglers especially haven't given me any trouble. Wouldn't hesitate to buy another for sure.

I picked up an 06 Escape as my beater after getting the Z. Hauls the kids, Home Depot runs and Awd for the winter. Plus it was cheap

Any specific model years or things to look at when buying one?

If you're looking at an older Wrangler I'd look at a TJ (97-06). Coils all around, has the great 4.0 inline 6. Most never leave the pavement so likely hasn't been beat on. The Sport model will come with better axles and rear ends (D44) without having to pay Rubicon prices. And there are a zillion of them around so if you did need parts they are cheap and easy to find.

I just sold my JK Unlimited before the Z. Would have bought a TJ instead of the Escape but I have just turned 3 year old twins and they are much easier to contend with in a four door instead of climbing in the back seat from the front.

The only Chrysler trans that's gave me a bit of grief was a 93 Eagle Vision TSI Auto that wouldn't quite catch D when it was cold, that was after 200k though. I've had multitudes of manual and standard Chryco trans and never had an issue otherwise. Maybe I just got lucky.
