Default mopar or pure jeep

So I took my jeep in for the clutch squeal TSB, I get home last night and check it out and find three of the bell housing bolts loose and sticking out about a 1/4 inch. and all my driveshaft bolt heads CV ends) stripped. I go in today and raise holy you know what about. (spent 2hrs last night checking and rechecking torque on every bolt myself) so they offer me a mopar bumper without winch for 357. and a rear for 396.

I am not sure I like the look on the mopar and I can get the pure jeep for 349 delivered or an OF fab stubby for 340 delivered.

what would you do??


thanks,

Default don't go mopar

If you are serious about taking it offroad don't get the mopar stuff! I have the front and rear on mine... the front is not that durable and the back with tire swing rattles and sags. Im looking at cutting the front to stubby or replacing all together. The back is definatly getting replaced with a LOD or another with jerrycan mounts, hi-lift mount etc.... just a little info

I agree, I fixed it all myself last night, I got the book out and torqued everybolt under there to spec and only two were correct to begin with. they wanted me to leave it so they could replace the driveshaft bolts and I said no just give them to me and I will do it myself, so I have at least one small project this weekend.
