Re: Seeking Wrangler Advice
 

97's thru 99's sometimes have issues with exhaust manifold cracking.
Also have had issues with the instrument cluster malfunctioning due to
a loose connection.

00's and above have a new manual transmission that some people have
had noise issues with in neutral.

i hear ya! now i dont want some inconsiderate ------- slamming into my
jeep, but im damn sure not going to sacrifice ground clearance because im
worried about it. hell, i dont even wash mine anymore unless its one of
these. http://7slotgrille.com/jeeptionary/carwash.html :-)

if you _are_ worried about "dings" though, heres a trick i used to use when
i had my mustang. look for the most tricked out pimp car in the parking lot
and park as close to it as you can get without impeeding upon him. believe
me, "g" doesnt want to hit you with his door anymore than you want him to
and he'll be just as careful as you would be.
