are you going to be using the KJ as a DD now?
1982 CJ7-stock

Owning a CJ is for manly men, they allows you to do manly stuff like auto mechanics and welding and drinking beer. Manly men own CJs. Manly men do not drive hummers, they receive them.

Sure am.  It gets a little better gas mileage and Jess dropped $3K in repairs while I was deployed so I need to keep it a few years to get my money back out of it.

It was making a grinding noise I the front end, so the dealership swapped out the upper control arms, struts ( took out my lifetime warrantied Ranchos), new front drive shaft, strut mounts and a few other things.  It didn't fix the problem, so when I got home I still had to fix it.  It was the passénger side CV shaft and intermediate shaft splines were gone.  I was about an hour worth of work and cost me $150 to fix the original problem.  I will never recommend going to the New London Jeep dealer, the took advantage of a woman who just knew there was a problem and the dealership kept charging her more money and Easter egging their diagnosis instead of doing their job.
