Does Jeep no longer do custom 2 doors?

Driving in the road all I see is 4 doors, and trying to build a custom one there’s no 2 door option

I dislike the look of the 4 doors, u think it looks like a knock of G-Wagon and I think the G-Wagon looks like a box on wheels

I want that classic beach design, 2 doors no top and a roll cage, looks like I’m going to have to get an old model and fix it up

What typically leaks from a bad axle seal?

This is likely a dumb question, but i’m starting to see oil buildup on both Inner C/Knuckle Gussets, on my front axle, and just wondering what that is, is it diff oil?

2005 crd Cherokee/liberty

Hello lovely people. I’m in the uk with a 2005 Cherokee/liberty. I bought it for peanuts as a quick stop gap but actually love it. It isn’t without issues but I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth investing and repairing or sticking to my original plan of just keeping it til it’s next mot. Here is the main issue I’m hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction…..only occasionally, maybe twice a week when you first start it and pull away if you try to brake within say the first minute it tries to keep pulling and almost stalls. Also I don’t know if this is related but when you first start it and then put it in gear it takes maybe 10 seconds of running in gear before it decides it’s ready to pull away. Any ideas?

How to repair/replace this

My partner’s 2006 Wrangler has a split in the back door between the window and the soft cover. I would love to fix this for her while she’s out of town, and so it doesn’t keep getting rained in. I am not a Jeep expert or much of a car guy (otherwise very handy).

Looking for advice on how to fix this split, or do I need to replace the cover on the entire back door?

2017 JKU coolant issues

Hello everyone! 👋 I have a 2017 wrangler JKU winter edition that has recently been leaking coolant and over the course of a week or so empties the reservoir. I cannot see or feel any leaks from the radiator hose or any other coolant hoses. From what I’ve read online the water pump is probably going bad. I don’t see any cracks or damage to the radiator. I’ve also read that maybe I need to burp the coolant system as well. The temp reaches anywhere from 212-230 and the cooling fan is spinning like a jet turbine until the Jeep is turned off. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all ✌️

Need Advice: Jeep considered total loss. Do I take the money or retain the vehicle?

Front-End Damage

Back-End Damage

So, my 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara with 120K miles was crashed into while parked. Body damages included: Front bumper, right-front fender flare, rear bumper, left-rear quarter panel, totaling about $12,000 in repairs. Underneath, the only damage was some front-end alignment repairs totaling about $3,800. The collision place confirmed the frame is not bent and given that the car that hit me was going less than 10 mph, there's no real chance of any significant damages that haven't been identified.

Insurance has made the following offer:

  1. $19,715.52 and they take it away, or
  2. $14,849.44 and it's my salvaged

So, do I take the check or keep the jeep, fix the necessities, live with the dings, and apply the leftover cash into a new daily driver? For what it's worth, this Jeep has not had a single issue since I bought it new. Thanks in advance.

Jeep Wrangler 4 Low Issue - Warranty Question

I haave 2019 Jeep Wrangler with just 32k miles on it. Recently, it won't go into 4 low, and I noticed my warranty covers up to 35k miles. Would this issue still be covered under warranty? Also, what are some things that could potentially void my warranty? It's worth mentioning that I've never used my Jeep in 4WD mode before.

Dealership left my windows down in rain. Recourse?

While my (just bought it a month ago, 2023 Overland 14k miles) was at jeep dealership for a repair (mouse got in to air filter), and while airing it out in the lot (been there since Sunday night had to wait on part) the techs left all four windows down and car is soaked.
Needless to say we are pissed. We didn’t purchase at this dealer but it was in their care while being worked on.

Service manager said he would “take care of us”, “warranty “ blah blah No we didn’t think to take pictures

Left it there in the shop overnight to dry out and they are going to work on it tomorrow.

I highly doubt the cad will ever be the same. I’m Worried about the screen on the passenger dash and all the electronics in the seat and doors

What recourse do I have????

Just got a '52 Willys; what fluids should I use in the axles, trans, tcase, engine, brakes, etc?

Should I worry about flushing the brake fluid with dot 4 or will an older system require older fluid?

Thermostat stuck open - 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Hey all, I’m looking for advice about my Jeep. I am about 99% sure that my thermostat is stuck open. A mechanic who did a flush and fill told me it was, but I couldn’t afford to fix it right at that moment, and still am low on funds as I am a teacher. Is this something that will cause intense damage to my Jeep? This is the second thermostat I replaced and have heard that many have come faulty from whatever manufacturer that they come from. The first one I had got stuck shut, so it would overheat.

The added piece to this is that my coolant sensor is also broken. It doesn’t read at all, the needle just sits in its starting position when the jeep is running. If i turn the key one click, it’ll read and it is always under the halfway point- so I know that it isn’t overheating.

I’m really just curious if this overcooling is going to mess my Jeep up beyond just horrible gas mileage to the point I can’t fix it or have it fixed.

Is this just normal Throttle Control?

Pic for attention. I have a 2016 Sport. I’ve always heard the 3.6 is weird with the throttle. But mine almost feels like a weird 2-Step (If you will). If I’m going like 55 and I floor it the RPMS will shoot to 7K, it’ll sit for a second at those RPMS then just blast off full power after about 2ish seconds. In your opinion. Is this normal? I’ve had it for 2 years and it’s been like this since I got it I have never had a problem with this thing either

2015 GC Limited, intermittent hissing noise when air conditioning is on.

I've had my 15' GC Limited for almost 3 years now and it's been great owning. However, there's always been this hissing noise whenever I turn on the air con, only when it's on never when turned off, and it's not constant it occurs at regular intervals. Could this be a leak?
