I'm currently deployed and have that situation with my Jeep. I say let her drive it once a week. The fluids need to be kept moving through the vehicle. Sitting for 6 months to 1 year will be very hard/bad on seals/gaskeets. You might have alot more work cut out for you if the vehicle is not driven ...

the window will sometimes stick to the rubber gasket/weatherstripping making it more difficult to open. if you pull the release handle on the outside of the door, you should hear the window latch mechanism pop. as long as you know that the window latch mechanism has released, you should be able to l...

2 things regarding that net and our anchor points... 1. the anchor points in the floor and walls are garbage. the ones in the floor are cheap pot metal and can't take a significant load. i busted one in the floor strapping down some 2x4's that were sticking out the hatch window. the ones in the wall...

i have a suspicion that one of my TPMS sensor is leaking as well... not really sure how to check it though. edit... after some googling, it seems like the leaky TPMS culprit is *usually* a loose retainer nut on the valve stem. not sure if this is the cause of your problem, but i'll definitely be che...

not that i want to pour salt in your wounds... but it looks like you JUST missed the 80,000 warranty on catalytic converters.

that sucks.
