BloodRed

I've been a member of MOJO for a few years now. Great group of people. Fun events and monthly rides are a blast.

I haven't heard anything more than what plagues the HEMI in any of the others. Cam seems to pretty common to go bad. Had mine replaced under warranty on my Charger

While I have had very little experience with them, from the work they have done for members of the local Jeep group I am part of, they seem to be willing to take on any project. They are not another 4 Wheel Parts.

All-Terrain Outfitters. While they mainly work on Jeeps, they will tackle just about any job. They just opened up a location in Columbus a few months ago.

My wife drives a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk. It has been completely issue free in the 26k miles we have put on it. Trailhawk has the same air ride system on the Summit. That is the only thing I wasn't super happy about when she picked that model, but it is hers. Ours only has the v6 but with the 8 speed transmission it is pretty nice. We use it to tow our 4000lb camper no problem. We have talked about once the Gladiator comes out we might trade it in for one.

Lift it and wheel the shit out of that thing LOL

If he isn't bringing the "Funky Bunch" I'm not buying from there.

For a 2 door, find a OEM style or Bestop top. I am not a fan of the "fast back" style tops on a 2 door. It really cuts into the limited storage space behind the back seats. Right now is the worst time of the year to look for a used one, but keep an eye out on Craigslist or any of the many Jeep FB group pages. I got mine with all the hardware, used for $300 off a Jeep FB group page. Kid ran it 1 year and liked the hard top for some reason. Fall and early winter is the best time to find a used soft top as people put the hard tops back on for the winter. If you want to go new, best site is Quadratec. They have a great soft top finder tool that will help you find what you want. Definitely recommend going with the "premium" fabric as it is thicker and less likely to fade.

Wife drives a '17 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk that has been a great vehicle for the time we have it. It is the V6 model, but still does pretty good with the 8 speed transmission. Got 24 mpg on a trip down to FL loaded with 4 adults and luggage. Real question is really what do you want out of the SUV? Size, status, towing, 4wd, 3rd row, etc? We mainly went with the JGC because of the towing capacity as we are going to be purchasing a camper soon. 6,200 lbs with the V6 and 7,200 lbs with a V8 is the highest in it's class.

I miss my 2014 Charger RT. It was definitely a fun ride and was comfortable. I had mine for just under 3 years and the only service it ended up having was the cam went out a few months before it was totaled. Watch for a random miss fire as the tell tale sign. CEL will come on, but goes off in a few days. Since it is gray, like mine was, be ready for a lot of people to get the hell out of your way when you come up behind them on the highway. No body will pass you either because they think you are a cop. Mine had a sunroof too and if that was up they thought I had a low profile light bar.

From what I read, in Central Ohio it will start around 1:30 with the peak around 2:35.

When you are ready to talk to a family lawyer, call these guys: http://barrjoneslegal.com/ I am good friends with Andrew Jones. We have used him and many friends, family and even a few from here have used them after my suggestion. Good luck to you. It is never easy dealing with issues like this when it is family.

Curious where you were able to rent the T@B from? My wife and I have been a fan of tear drop campers for a long time to pull behind my Wrangler. The T@B and T@G models are some of our favorites, but they are a bit pricey to buy and retain their value pretty well.

The stock exhaust sound is probably the one thing I dislike on my 14 Charger R/T. I've spent a lot of time online trying to find a good replacement and just haven't found something that I love yet.

I agree on the cam. My 2014 Charger R/T had to have the cam replaced at 22k miles last October. Other than that, no other issues. I also owned a 2009 Ram with the Hemi in it and never had a single issue with it.
