Default Very Bad Year

Good morning to all my friends

Like some of you know, I had to sell my Rubicon Unlimited, because everything was breaking on it.

I lost my Jeep in April this year, and, my father has past away in June. It has been the worse experience of my life.

I just realised that I can't live without a Wrangler. I lost a lot of money (I spent about 6000$ on it) but I will buy a new Rubicon next Winter. I WON'T do the same mistakes this time, and I won't use the Wrangler to go to work. I bought a 2009 4X4 Patriot (manual) to go to work, and I will keep it. Very satisfied of this small SUV, and I save a lot of money (gas $$$)

Hope to see you soon on a trail

Here' a photo of my RIP Jeep

What were these "mistakes"???

Also, if everything is breaking on it, why would you buy another?

Were you saying because it was your daily driver it was breaking?

Here are a few examples:

Axle bracket broke because I had relocation brackets with a 4" lift kit. Next time, it will be adj. front and rear trac bars. No more stress on the brackets...

4" is a little bit too high with the stock drive shaft pinion. IT BROKE! And no guarantee...

I had death wobble, and death wobble and death wobble. My next lift kit will be installed by REAL professionals with a REAL guarantee. (N.B. My trac bar was at 115, and I had also a good caster: 5.5)

My wheel bearings broke because of my wheel spacers. Next time: offset wheels

etc, etc

I want to keep my Patriot because I drive too much for my job (gas $$)
