  1. Engine beauty cover? At least I now know what I am looking at when I open my hood!
  2. I have never heard of paint protection from the factory. I just see cars on the car carriers with white plastic sheets covering the areas that might chip, on the way to the dealers.
  3. Welcome to the forum. Bought mine new 1 year ago, and now have 6,000 trouble free miles.
  4. Welcome to the forum. Possibly the battery in the key fob.
  5. I guess that no one knows if the DJ has ETC - Electronic Throttle Control - Drive By Wire. If so, it could be the relay clicking.
  6. You forgot the $1,500 back brace and the $4,995 bone stimulator. Other than that, you pretty much nailed it. I am being referred to as "Robo Cop" The blacked out tail lamps are kind of cool on my Crossroad. When it is parked in the garage, all I see are the small round reflectors in the center of each lamp!
  7. Another consideration would be the front tires rubbing as you turn, and the suspension is moving up and down. Turn your steering wheel all the way to the right and see how much clearance there is between the outside edge of the tire and the inner fender. Then, check the clearance by turning all the way to the left. My 255/50R19s are 5.02" high, 10.04" wide, with a diameter 29.04". Because of the minimal clearance between the bottom front strut support and my tire, I believe that this may be the largest 50 series tire that can fit on the factory 19" wheels. They are filled to the factory spec, as far as air goes.
  8. While baking, make sure you wear an apron.
  9. Go to oemautoparts.com They have every Mopar radio you could imagine. You want a Mygig. You will need a hockey puck magnetic Sirius antenna. You will also need a GPS antenna for Nav. Your faceplate around the radio should just pop off. 4 screws hold the radio in place. Plug and play. If there is an anti-theft code, they will give it to you and some of the Mygigs may have an internal GPS antenna. Ask them They bench test every radio that they sell. If the screen has a scratch, they replace it and they warranty what they sell. I have purchased 3 radios from them. No problems, and it is not a guessing game as to the appearance. They may even sell the Sirius antenna. The latest software is around v50.0. Plus, you get a 30 gig hard drive to load all your music. I miss my RBZ Mygig!
  10. The Escalade has to take the top honor for over-the-top bling: LED DRLs, and tail lights that try and mimic Volvo = FAIL!
  11. I cry everytime I see that Copperhead Pearl Beauty crunched.
  12. The Tahoe looks like one from the 1990s - it is way too square, IMHO. And that piece on the side of the headlights - useless fluff. A blatant copy of the Nissan Z.
  13. I have used them on two vehicles. If you decide to go with them, make sure they are hub-centric. This allows the spacer to be centered, exactly, on the hub, just like your wheel. Spidertrax makes the best spacers, IMHO, but I highly doubt that they make a set for the DJ. Do not get a cheap set with oval holes for the studs on your hub - you will only be guessing if they are centered.
  14. Awesome plates! Actually, I hate the Prius, and would never own one. The only one that I would consider would be the Volt, because I would never have to put gas in it. 40 mile range suits my driving habits. But, in all reality, I do not need 2 vehicles.
  15. Can you see any interference between the tires and the suspension? I'm running 255/50R19s and I can not get my index fingernail between the front strut bottom mount and the tire. What are the width and diameter of your tires?
  16. Welcome to the forum. I've had mine for a year with absolutely no problems.
  17. It sounds like it may just be the brake pedal. Squirt some WD-40 on the bracket where the pedal rotates inside the car. Then trace it where it rotates under the hood.
  18. Computers. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't!
  19. OK. Consider it ignored!
  20. Are you referring to the black struts that hold the liftgate up?
