    Flex Fuel Badge

    I found a Mopar Flex Fuel badge on ebay. I stuck it under the Crossroad emblem, lined up the the right side. It has green stripes and yellow stripes which match the gas cap. There is one station that I know of that sells E85, but it is too far from my house.

    On vacation

    Do you count VINs instead of sheep to get to sleep?
  3. Good luck in the future. When I bought my DJ last June, I initially went in to find a Cherokee Trailhawk. My DJ was over $5,000 less and I feel as though I did get more car for the money. Did you have 3.6, and if so, how does the 3.2 compare to it?
  4. That is pretty cool that a company would go to all that trouble just for one vehicle.
  5. High blood pressure runs in my family. My Dad's Dad had a massive stroke at 51 which killed him instantly. My Dad started on medication and lived to be 91. I have been taking Diltiazem (180 mg) and 1/2 of a Lisinopril (20 mg) probably for at least 10 years. I weight the same as I did when I graduated high school -- 167. I think that it has to do more with your metabolism than anything else. In another post I mentioned that I have 2 bone graft fusions with a steel plate and 6 screws in my neck. 2 years ago I ruptured the disc at L4 and 5 in my back. Another bone graft fusion with 4 bolts and 2 rods. I have been complaining about the pain in this area for over a year. The Doctors told me it was the bolts and to "live with it". Now I'm taking bone density pills. 2 months ago I had a bunch of tests and the disc below the fusion, L5 and S1 is ruptured. So another fusion! Is it possible to suffer from road rage in the doctor's office? All of the pain medication that I have been on for the past 20 years will kill me long before the blood pressure medication does. I can no longer remember all the names of the meds that I have been on. The first fusion in my neck caused me to have horrendous headaches. Every med that they have prescribed for this, the main use is an anti-seizure medication. They all make me crazy (I believe that they are supposed to make me not crazy). So, I refuse to take them. So, it's like try this one. Nope. OK, try this one. Nope. This has been going on for 20 years. They finally found a combination that keeps the headaches at bay, but I have an extremely dry mouth. This started to affect my eyes - like they had sand in them. Went to my eye doctor. She put a piece of litmus paper in my left eye to check for moisture. A normal reading would be 12 to 14. Mine was 0. So now I am on 4 different kinds of eye drops. You have probably seen the ads for Restasis. It's horrible. It burns my eyes. I have been told not to drink coffee. I'm not going to stop because I like the taste. 2 or 3 cups a day. I have never smoked in my life, but my wife did (another story for another time). I have made peace with my maker so I am ready to go when He says It's my time. But, I do think that he has plenty more for me to do.
  6. Welcome to the forum. You have to have one of the 2 large screen radios to hook up the factory back up camera. The camera is not compatible withe small screen radios. Muth makes a universal back up camera, where the image is in the rear view mirror. Call Crutchfield as far as installing an aftermarket radio. I do not see why a double din radio with a large screen wouldn't fit. Some of them have the connections for a camera.
  7. Are the stripes custom, or can they be ordered? Awesome rig!
  8. Look at your spare. If the is a blue connector that just ends, you have access to the anti sway, but you have to use the Mopar harness which would plug into this. Mine has the oil cooler listed as a separate listing on my door sticker. I do not know if all DJs come with the oil cooler.

    Cracking leather

    My seat looks similar to yours. 6 months, 4,000 miles.
  10. Cargo area left side to be exact. Each door has a 6x9 speaker and they are crap paper. If you try to put any power to them, they will rip. I replaced mine with 6x9 Alpines because they put out the best bass of all the speakers on display at Best Buy. If you have 3 rows, you will have to remove the left seat before you can remove the panel.
  11. I thought that mine had them because there are little tabs sticking out of the mesh in the top center. They look like pull tabs to pull the booster seat down, but it looks like I will tear the mesh if I pull any harder. I do not have a clue what they are. The front seats don't have them. Weird.
  12. I just read where Chrysler will get a small and midsize SUV. The minivan will be their full sized vehicle. I do not know where this leaves Dodge as Sir Sergio does not want the Brands competing with each other.
  13. My dealer uses Valvolene, and oil changes and tire rotation are included in the Platinum Extended Warranty I purchased with the car.
  14. Too much work for me! I just take it ti Mikes!
  15. Boy, after reading stories like this I had no reason to worry about my FWD. Up and down hills in my neighborhoods unplowed 6+ inches of snow. Oh, and I did add the Duelers!
  16. Welcome to the forum. I walked in the door and received $2500 and thought that I was doing great. You got 4x that! Way to go. Is there more room behind the third row when the seats are up, compared to the DJ? The DJ just seems to be such a smaller vehicle to me.
  17. OIC. I learned something new today. Thank you for the post. I did not compare models when I bought mine. The dealer only had 4 DJs at the time. Mine was the first and only one I looked at because of the color!
  18. What people do not realize is that a lot of the new stuff was already in development before Mercedes bailed out. Jeep was developing the new M along with the GC. The only thing that Fiat has been involved with is the Dart and the Cherokee. They ride on a lengthened Alfa Romeo chassis, which is not a bad thing, IMHO. I, too, am a Mopar guy.
  19. Well Paul, I have mine for a little over 6 months. I bought it at the end of June, and I still feel the same as you do right now. Maybe even more so. My only complaint so far are the new 9" radios. the 30 gig MyGigs had it all over these radios, albeit a smaller screen; but, 6 months and I'm still learning.
  20. Welcome to the forum. Mine has a nice overhead console with two map lights that pivot, a pocket for sun glasses and if you partiall hit the middle one, it comes down as a curved rear view mirror to see the people in back, who you are talking to. I can't imagine anything tough about mounting this one since it is a DJ part.
  21. Welcome to the forum. US NE - where is the snow?
  22. You are making it sound too easy. What about the harness that is supposedly taped to my steering column? Is the defroster cover also the cover for the dash speakers? Here I was thinking all I had to do is somehow get the harness up to the center of the dash, swap out the sensor for both Auto Lights and Auto AC/Heat, replace the light switch and then have the sales code. I presently have the sensor for auto heat only
  23. Welcome to the forum. I wish that they would bring back the Magnum, and then add the Hellcat option!
