    That's what I was wondering how prevalent battery theft is? Obviously you don't see too many vehicles sitting around with the hood up.

    Here is one for you...I know lots and lots of people in jeep clubs...none have ever said they have had a battery stolen. Ex girlfriend cutting wires yes, but never a battery stolen.

    Come on, no one would ever cut (or crew-up) your wires. But squirrels/rodents might.

    This is precisely why everyone should buy the Sport! It makes us think the engine is being cooled.

    No. I put about fifteen grand in it with overnight parts from Japan, so no issues with the manifold.

    Got to love them scoops, even the nonfunctional ones. And the ones that tend to make the hood floppy, they say.
    When I was a kid, we would joke about much increased HP was gained by adding
    racing stripes and leaf spring shackles.

    For best results, remove the hood prior to entering the wash.

    Also, roll down all windows fully and stick your bellend out the driver's side window..

    UV rays are not good for rubber and plastics under the hood.
