So my A/C has been out for a bit and finally had time to get it into the shop to have it looked at. Come to find out that when the new bumper was installed, the washer fluid motor was relocated (zip tied) to the frame which rubbed a hole in the condenser. So guess who gets to pay for a new condenser... not me. But I will be without the merc for a day while they fix that, change the oil, and detail it. We'll see what else I can milk out of them for the trouble shoddy work has caused me.

 

Welcome to the forum. Sucks being without your Jeep for a day. I just got mine back after three weeks. I think I went into withdrawals.

 

Thanks, I've been around a few months, just don't post much.

 

Why do I do my own work?

Because....
When I got my JK back from a warranty gas tank change, it didn't run well because they put water-contaminated gasoline in the new tank.
When I got it back after the new tank was removed, washed out, reinstalled, and filled with clean gasoline, I discovered, after hearing a clunking sound from the back, they had not tightened the forward bolt on the right rear lower control arm.
Once I got the JK home and started an oil change, I noticed the safety clip on the fuel line at the fuel rail was off and hanging by its tether.

 

why do your own work?


Because no one loves your jeep like you do!

 

Because when it breaks on the trail I cant immediately hire a mechanic to fix it!

 

^this!

I'm still learning but figure I better learn it quick because it's not going to break in front of the mechanic.

 

Because of the pride and sense of satisfaction I feel after its been fixed.

 

Why I do my own work:
- I learn something new with every project/fix
- I enjoy working on MY jeep
- I take pride in the things I paid for and built
- so I know how the work was done, and done how I want it.

BUILT. NOT BOUGHT.

 

The old adage ...... if you want something done right ...........
