They love it. Even on the highway.

How about on the trail?

The i15 rock garden is intense.

New KO2's, 315/75/16.

Replacing my front driveshaft and noticed the transfer case linkage bushing was gone. Nothing holding it on. Lucky I bought 2 when the shifter linkage broke.

New Adams 1310 front driveshaft in.

Understood. Wish I was still prepping for next weekend. I'm working on Spider to get out of packing the house today! :cheesy:

I was expecting a possibility that I could break off a head bolt but not find one already broken off. Previous owner I guess.

Is that for the exhaust manifold? Excuse my dumb question. I haven't needed to change plugs on 3.6 yet.

Yep, mine was cracked. Also leaking there because it blew out the gasket.

Did you get the broken piece out? Looks like you'd have enough to grab onto.

I did, was able to get 2 nuts on it and a little PB Blaster. What a pain for something I didn't even cause.

And shitty design for a manifold. So many have this issue.

I'm glad you got it out. I don't think the issue is limited to Chrysler engines. I had the same problem in my 99 F150. Not saying it's right, but it seems to be a problem over a wide range of manufacturers.

Right, been looking at some but not sure which ones to get.

They're a little pricey, but I've been looking at the Savvy aluminum half doors. The new ones use the Rugged Ridge soft uppers so you could justify keeping them on more of the year. Just a thought.

I've looked at the soft half doors (might as well have no doors) and the trail cage / safari doors, but those are still too open for the kids. No way I'm shelling out for Mopar half doors and the Savvy ones look like high quality. Can't say I've seen anyone on the forum with them though.

I think that "FIFTY" is running the savvy doors if I remember correctly
