It's an inline 6. Sitting here now negotiating. Thanks for the help.

Give them a hard time about gas mileage and the fact the original equipment has been fuged with heavily.

Those tires/lift will push that bitch down to like 12mpg:ciappa: hwy.

The inline 6 has been basically the same engine for 50 years. Even though the engine was taken over by ChryCo. in 2006 it's pretty much the same AMC engine. All they did was some minor tweeks to reduce noise and reinforced the block with extra gussets. It's been a solid engine for a long time running.

The engine isn't the thing you have to worry about with Jeeps, it's the other parts.

I have had a jeep since I was 16 and had only a couple parts failures.

Had a 1997-2003 radiator got hit by a rock and caused an overheat.

Rebuilt the engine and it never missed a beat.

Had some tranny issues too.

My 2004 Rubi had been fantastic and never misses a beat.

That I6 is a great engine... those things will run forever if you take care of them and they are very torquey.

Lifts aren't so bad depending on what kind it is and how high. Check the drive shaft and u-joints for wear due to the lift. Large tires also wear the brakes down faster.

Now if they've done mods to the engine/trans I would be a lot more weary of it.

Brake pads are cheap and easy to replace yourself, and if you don't know how, buy a hanes manual for your vehicle and do it yourself. I never understand people who let themselves get charged ridiculous labor prices for simple poo.

Buddy of mine went to a place to get his brakes done...within an hour, he was told that one of his belts were worn, and that they would replace it right then and there. He grabbed the belt and brought it to me and some of the guys...there was nothing wrong with it. Just a little wear, but no holes or tears. Those fugers will get you.

Whenever you take your car to get repaired, always ask for the old part. By law they have to give it to you. There are a lot of shady shops that will replace your part, and then use your part in someone else's car after they clean it up.

Personally, I would never buy a truck/jeep for that much money that has had any suspension work done.

After the previous owner has that crap done, you have no idea how hard they were on the automobile. Some 30 year old accountant with an extra 2500$ gets a lift kit and some tires and he turns into a "professional off road driver" and part time rock climber.

I'm not disagreeing with you per se but...

If you don't trust the shop working on your car any more than that, take your car somewhere else.

      What do you grade this draft?

      By Newtcase · Posted

      I didn’t like this draft at all. XL, our first pick had one good season out of five and doesn’t have burst off the line.  I wanted Ladd here because I think he’d have been a much better pairing for BY9s weak arm.  We need to be an excellent west coast style offense if Bryce is gonna shine.  A burner that takes 3 steps to get moving and doesn’t separate at the line is a bad choice IMO. I don’t even want to talk about drafting a RB after having Foreman make us feel better about trading CMC only to send him packing and give Sanders top FA money last year to fall on his face.  We always try to get cute and find value.  The fact that we were the first team to take a RB (one recovering from a serious injury no less) tells you we didn’t get the memo 31 other teams got.  RB has a huge role in protection responsibility, it’s a huge reason some great backs are situational…they suck in protection.  A rookie RB helping protect BY doesn’t warm my heart.  We should have taken the top C on the board here IMO. LB and yet another project TE that’ll probably just frustrate us all for how long he hangs around seemingly doing nothing.  Then a bunch of dice rolls that aren’t changing any fortune unless it’s a complete accident. TLDR This whole draft looks like JAGs to me at best.  I don’t like the XL or JB picks at all.  Always happy to be wrong when I have a negative take.

      Sugar Defender Supplement - What You Should Be Aware In Update 2024

      I'll tell you how you should benefit from using this in a moment. However, things are alright now. You might have to be really skilled to use their find effectively. I'm not the most ideal customer when it is put alongside that condition. Here are the pros. I put my foot in my mouth. I had high expectations. We'll face up to reality. My notion is based around my assumption that nobody has a partiality concerning doing that. There is a culture that has been built around some hindrance and also you should understand how some command will impact your life. Really honestly, if you actually reckon about it, how good is that stuff? Whenever somebody experiences the doohickey, it is best that they do not hesitate to talk to a professional.    OFFICIAL WEBSITE ----> https://www.onlymyhealth.com/sugar-defender-reviews-blood-sugar-supplement-complaints-1709036624   Go Down For More Info:-   https://www.onlymyhealth.com/puravive-reviews-side-effects-and-complaints-1709979035 https://www.onlymyhealth.com/fitspresso-reviews-coffee-loophole-recipe-dangerous-side-effects-and-complaints-1710235827   https://medium.com/@lancebrum/sugar-defender-buyer-beware-heres-the-real-story-must-read-cfbe26c6a174 https://hackmd.io/@lancebrum/SugarDefender https://www.eventogo.com/event/sugar-defender-supplement-what-you-should-be-aware-in-update-2024/ https://www.techdirectory.io/new-york/adtech/sugar-defender https://gamma.app/docs/Sugar-Defender-Buyer-Beware-Heres-The-Real-Story-Must-Read-7vy0ew8b8doq9hm https://jciodev.microsoftcrmportals.com/forums/general-discussion/59f21551-e405-ef11-a81c-6045bd0b2619 https://pgccouncilcsp.powerappsportals.us/forums/general-discussion/604e7f79-e405-ef11-a73d-001dd806eee4 https://thecontingent.microsoftcrmportals.com/forums/general-discussion/5f1e49b0-e405-ef11-a73d-6045bd01c1cc https://twor.microsoftcrmportals.com/forums/support-forum/1bf52a1d-e505-ef11-a73d-6045bd3fd1cb
