Re: First mods to my new Rubi
Just a heads up for you, you are posting in HTML that a lot of folks on
this group can't read. Lots of folks are on mainframes or on other than
microcrap systems and can only read text. You could be missing a lot of

Re: First mods to my new Rubi
I know, I know. :-D I really don't know about the undercoating. I
live in Jersey and they salt the roads pretty heavily in the snow, so I
don't know if the undercoating really has any protective value or if
it's just a big scam. The interior coating, I'm just asking so I can
tell the wife I asked. I personally don't care, after all it is a
Jeep! As for the alarm, absolutely! That will go in almost as fast as
the Tuffy console and glove box. People suck in this craphole of a
state, and most of them will steal from their own mothers. I know an
alarm won't stop a determined professional thief, but I am going to make
it as hard as I can for him to steal my new baby.

live in Jersey and they salt the roads pretty heavily in the snow, so I
don't know if the undercoating really has any protective value or if
it's just a big scam. The interior coating, I'm just asking so I can
tell the wife I asked. I personally don't care, after all it is a
Jeep! As for the alarm, absolutely! That will go in almost as fast as
the Tuffy console and glove box. People suck in this craphole of a
state, and most of them will steal from their own mothers. I know an
alarm won't stop a determined professional thief, but I am going to make
it as hard as I can for him to steal my new baby.

Re: First mods to my new Rubi
I know, I know. :-D I really don't know about the undercoating. I
live in Jersey and they salt the roads pretty heavily in the snow, so I
don't know if the undercoating really has any protective value or if
it's just a big scam. The interior coating, I'm just asking so I can
tell the wife I asked. I personally don't care, after all it is a
Jeep! As for the alarm, absolutely! That will go in almost as fast as
the Tuffy console and glove box. People suck in this craphole of a
state, and most of them will steal from their own mothers. I know an
alarm won't stop a determined professional thief, but I am going to make
it as hard as I can for him to steal my new baby.
