I frigging HATE the press in studs for the strut mount. I ended up having to weld one last time I put the struts in, and now I have to weld a different one just to get them out again. They just keep spinning loose! |

Actually, I remember read somewhere somebody posted that there was a ford vehicle whose wheel studs worked for top plate bolts. Turns out, there is a ford dealership in the family. Can someone hook me up with that info? |

The oil filter location! That's about all I've ever hated, oh, and lack of much dash-top space. |

Oil filter location Window regulators Gas mileage The way the stock rims collect mud throwing the wheel balance off That every single thing squeaks and rattles every time you hit a pebble On the bright side none of that makes me want this darn thing any less... JEEP ON! |

Ya know, I haven't lost a single window regulator yet. I've had it from 43,000 miles. Has 106,000 now. (Now that I say that, watch me lose one this afternoon!) |

I dont know why people are complaining Exactly....Just got back last evening from a short 340 mile run, most highway maybe 20-25 back roads, 10-15 city even with snow, rain , slush, slipsliding around still averaged 19.7 from hand calculations. ( was trying to see if that bored throttle body did anything at all ) |

Gas mileage.........this thing is great for a 4x4. Try my V10 4x4 Excursion it gets 12 highway and 9 city and drops to 6 when I tow. Forget about going seriusly offroad at 9000lbs. But it has its purpose. If you want great gas mileage that is what they make prius and civic for, But I would not recommend going anywhere this jeep goes. This is by far my favorite vehicle......But to get back on topic, I hate that the stereo is not a basic single or double din. There are a lot of nice double din Nav systems out there that without moding the dash can not be easily installed. |

How is your weight so heavy. Curb weight of an 07 gasser is only 3,655 lbs. Do you have 2,500 lbs of cargo/accessories. ...correction. 4x4 model is 4,033 so 2100lb of additional weight? |
