Wrangler or Tacoma?

Wonder how much of that was gladiator.

 

Literally? You seem to literally love that word. Not sure if you think it really gets your point across?

I’ve literally done an axle swap with literally 100% new parts and literally had serious death wobble. I literally went and got literally only an alignment and literally never had death wobble again. I know, I must literally not know what death wobble is then, right?

 

You are LITERALLY doing something wrong to find yourself in death wobble with “100%” new parts.

seems to me it’s less alignment and more that you didn’t torque things to spec in the proper order.

I’m just saying

 

Won’t go near a FCA vehicle again. Taco for me

 

Ha, k.

 

Im pretty sure I used the word once there and correctly. I don’t think it was death wobble if an alignment fixed it. That or maybe the alignment tech tightened something you missed.. you know... on the parts that are actually known to cause dw. You really didn’t need to be a douche either.

 

I've had new 03 Jeep TJ 4.0 straight six strong reliable easy to diy maintenance motor, 2door hardtop, very agile and fun on trail period.
Max towing 2,000 lbs WTF? No storage. Ok carry on only, lol. A love\hate relationship.

It may be love!

Bought new 13 Jeep JK, 3.6 v6, 2dr, soft top because I wanted to actually go topless without 3 grown men to remove top. More refined on road experience but still agile and now more powerful and actually kind of fast. But still no room, no towing and not so reliable now.

I jumped ship and have felt the Toyota difference! Wow, Towing up to 6,800 lbs, more interior room with full size doors, bed to haul over 1,000 lbs, composite bed won't rust out I may add and still very capable on trail. Built in inverter too! A realistic purchase.

 

I had this 14 wrangler polar edition. As pretty as it looks after owning my taco 2 months I decided to sell it! I'll never go back! I just got a second taco last week!

 

The Ray 10’s look great.

 

Jeeps are great vehicles to own.
You will learn how to fix and troubleshoot almost about anything.
You'll know it like the back of your hand inside and out.

 

Had a 12 taco with 170k when I traded for a 16 JK with 11k on it. Drove it for 6mo and 3 radiators later found out it had a cracked right side cyl head. Traded it for my 18 taco. NEVER AGAIN IN A JEEP!

 

and that’s a bad thing?

 

Well it sounds like you got sold a lemon. I hate that was your experience

 

You and me both...

 

I’ll take that bait. You disagree. Tell me more than that

 

I’ve lost my ass in a couple cars over the years (not saying you did, but I imagine that was likely) and it always sucks. First time was an SVT focus.. turned out to be a rabbit hole of neglected maintenance and worn out parts. Thought since I bought it from a cop that I could take his word for it being taken care of and maintained. That car left me stranded nearly 800 miles from home

 

Yea with only 11k miles on it I thought I did pretty good. Was searching for the right one for about a yr and finally found what I was looking for. Well that didn't turn out so well. But live and learn.

 

I bought a Jeep brand new in 88, drove it for 4 years and had zero issues.
My 2013 Tacoma has been great as well for the 6 plus years I've driven it.
For all the Jeeps you see on the road today they can't be that bad (can they?). They are everywhere. Maybe they just come with a really good warranty.
I did see a new one on fire on the side of the road so that would suck

 

I know this doesn’t speak for all (see above post lol) but I’ve literally had no issues from mine that I didn’t directly cause. Actually, I’ve had one issue.. my passenger seatbelt mechanism failed and I had to replace it.

 

I’ll say that I loved my Tacoma. Power blew since it was the 2.7 with a 5 speed but it could crawl over most things. Only reason I turned to jeep was because the back seat was large enough for two rear facing car seats
