  1. A dealer laughed and said to buy a new car? Are you serious?
  2. I don't have the ability to delete posts. It's only a couple. No worries.
  3. Thanks! I got splash buards off Amazon way cheaper. They fit great too.
  4. No denying that! We love our beer and barbecue. You can keep your wine and cheese.....
  5. Silverstars for headlights. Stay away from HID in factory housings. You will accomplish nothing but blinding oncoming drivers unless you convert the housings to prpoer projector housings meant for HID's. I've ordered stuff from China before, sometimes it can take as long as over a month , especially if it gets caught in customs.
  6. First thing I do is take off the dealer specific emblems, plaques and/or license plate frames. The dealer gets no free advertising from me, the vehicle, on the other hand, I like to customize my ride as much as the next guy. Modding is fun. I have 4 other vehicles I am currently doing different things with. The DJ I'M leaving alone for now because, like cskmom aludes to, I don't technically "own" it. I did buy a neat Mopar sticker for the rear window. And I know, since this is technically the wifes car, we will be trading it in 3-4 years (mama like a new car every few years) so I don't do much to her cars. Mine on the other hand....I can sink some serious money into modding my personal vehicles. Appearance and performance wise. It's all personal preference. I'm a gear head and I'm probably one of the few still left that feels my ride is an extension of me. Therefore I like to make it unique to me. Just not the DJ, since I don't drive it on a regular basis.

    Welcome to the forum.
  8. Not really my style. But it's your ride.
  9. The dealer we use actually has an Avis rental desk at the dealership. I guess it's cheaper for them to have Avis rent the cars instead of the dealer. For warranty work, the rental is free.
  10. Welcome to the forum. Vehicles are mechanical beasts. Sometimes things just break. Let us know what they find out. Good luck!
  11. Welcome to the forum. As stated, start with the easy things first, replace the battery. You dont have a spare FOB?
  12. Sorry, I'm in the small Kuhmo supporter crowd. We replaced our Kuhmo's on our 09 with Kuhmo's at about 40k. I had Kuhmo's on my Z28, have them currently on our 2013 Journey, my daughters Mustang and my Eclipse. I have no quarrel with Kuhmo tires.
  13. We;re all just having fun! Come on, don't get your feathers ruffled so easily...
  14. Even if you could get it to communicate, you will destroy the PCM. Good luck with getting warranty work for that. You're stuck with a dead vehicle.
  15. Should have posted this here >> http://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/734-biggest-annoyances-with-your-journey/
  16. Not me, I don't let my wife sleep onn long trips....if she starts dozing off, I hit the rumble strips on the side of the road to scare the crap out of her.....
  17. Welcome!! Lets see some pics!!!! We love pics!!!!
  18. Agreed wheels wont make or break fuel mileage. It all has to do with your right foot.
  19. Welcome to the forum!
  20. They are nice, but dayum I have a hard time parting with $100 for a piece of plastic with some 3m tape on it. Do you have a pic of what you actually had to remove to install the cover? I know you have a pic of the clips, but where were they removed from? You have to remove the entire bumper cover?
  21. This is true, I guess I was mainly referring to the older model cars I have. The DJ, I just take to the dealer if it's a warranty issue, if not, I've been working on cars long enough to figure most things out by just looking at it for awhile.
