I am planning to intstall a lift and tires in the Spring, but the dealership is being a real jerkstore about telling me exactly how it will affect my warranties. I don't trust those malakas at Chrysler as far as I can throw them.

Ditto, two of the service writers gave me an 800 number for Chrysler Customer Service and said "ask them."

What dealer did you purchase from?

I bought and service my Jeep at RiverFront in North Aurora. They have done pretty well by me aside from a few issues. My Jeep is the first vehicle I have ever bought and although I researched the hell out of car buying and am difficult to sell; I still got caught up in the excitement of buying a new car and allowed myself to be sold by my lying booty salesman, Bill Witt.

The service department does a good job. They have ignored and marginalized my SkySlider issues in the past, but the new service manager seems to be making an effort to help me. The only complaint I have is the greasy fingerprints they always leave on my interior. When I do perform any big mods, I want to get something in writing regarding my warranty.

On my last visit there were a couple guys passing out pamphlets at the entrance. I thought is was a coupon or promotional materials, but I checked it out while I was sitting in the service manager's office and it was a pamphlet bashing the dealership and claiming that they encourage harassment and use racist and homophobic slurs. Apparently the painter's union is in a labor dispute with RiverFront and they were trying to deter buyers. The pamphlet was blatant and graphically descriptive. I thought it was a little funny and so did the cops. They have a right to picket and if the material is libelous, then it is a civil matter.

Gotta be up a 6:30 a.m. to prepare for tailgating at Soldier Field. GO BEARS!

Purchased my Jeep. Went down a trail for the first time next day and got dirty. Immediately got the fever and ordered lift, rims and tires. Installed all that and a wood grain dash trim kit to cover up some imperfections from the previous owner. Ordered a new Clarion headunit w/ dvd and nav. I really need to get some pictures taken and show off! Im a new guy but im sure ill be on here alot in the future.

well i didnt spend too much cause i just did a budget lift (rock krawler) until i see if i really use it all that much. if not ill leave it, if i really start wheeling ill splurge on the jba 4" and get MT tires instead of AT's. Ive only spent a couple grand, i think haha. Surprisingly ive only got one picture of it stock lol. Ill try and go take some pics today.

thanks for the welcome guys

Here are some pic's I took from after wheelin on Halloween.

Diggerfreek · **Posted:** Mon Nov 02, 2009 4:03 pm

Nice spray pattern :twisted:

SkinInc69 · **Posted:** Mon Nov 02, 2009 4:25 pm

Haha.... thanks. I made sure I washed the side windows and windshield before I rolled them down or used the wipers so I didn't scratch the windows like I have done on past windows. :mrgreen:

There wasn't much mud and the holes where half frozen but it was still fun. The only problem was the wife was pi$$ed that I took her Jeep out again without her. :twisted:

That will teach her fir wanting to go dancing at the clubs and showing off her costume.

DirtyKK · **Posted:** Mon Nov 02, 2009 6:49 pm

heres a couple quick pics. ill have to make a little show off when i have time off and find a good place to take pictures. luckily you cant really tell in the pics but i had just washed it at the dealer when they put the tag on for me and found a huge puddle to barrel through and make a big splash on my way home :lol:

funny i had it modded when it still had the temp tag on it from the dealer

Great shape for a used 08, real nice Jeep. Looks good with the lift and tires, can't wait to get my KKs nose up a few inches.

Scar0 · **Posted:** Tue Nov 03, 2009 5:06 am

Nice set up. Looking good DirtyKK.

SkinInc69, What happened to your Pics? Looks like you are over your limit. :roll:

Jeepin_it_real · **Posted:** Tue Nov 03, 2009 7:43 pm

DirtyKK you should definitely storm trooper out your KK, you got the black rims and trim just finish it off with some tints and black out your taillights and do the black out headlight mod, it would look awesome

eh i dont think i would be a big fan of that look. plus im trying to keep it fairly stock and easily reversible if i ever decide to trade it in or sell it down the road. ive learned that the hard way with my last car, lost tons of money on a silly Japanese vehicle. the only other thing ill pry do now is tint the front windows to match and a few other things like skids a tow hooks. if i ride trails alot or anything ill pry ditch the rock krawler kit for a jba 4" i would say thats about it.

I added on the driver side front tow hook. Already had the passenger side hook on from the dealer. I followed the example of others here on forum by ordering from Savage Dodge and Chrysler out of PA. Had everything in three days. Easy enough job. Didn't have to remove bumper, but I did end up trimming some plastic to gain easier access for tightening down nuts on the M bolt. Next is to take off the little black air dam. Any hints or tips? Budget lift after that until cash flow allows for more substantial set up.

BrendonR · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 1:52 am

das4x4 - you mean the black air dam on the bottom of the front bumper?

There's 3 white (or white-ish anyways) twist-off plugs. Turn them, and pull them down/out. The air dam will simply then pop off (push and pry it towards the rear of the jeep) in a matter of seconds.

It's supposedly there for better airflow/fuel mileage, as it's easy enough to take off at any time, I'm simply leaving it on until I go offroad - then I'll either take it off in the garage before I leave, or, on the trail and put it in the back. Just a thought.

das4x4 · **Posted:** Thu Nov 05, 2009 8:34 pm

That'd be it. I've seen those twist things while under the Jeep, but never really paid attention as they applied to the air dam. Thanks for the input. I'll give'r a try.
