Transmission flush and oil change every 30,000 miles. About $100 here and there ....great investment. Use Valvoline only. The ultimate prevention.

As many if us hard core loyal Jeepers say, Jeep stands for "Just Empty Every Pocket." It's like anything else we love, you gotta take the bad. If Toyota made it Jeep, it would probably fall off a trail due to the brakes. I might consider a Jeep made by Airbus and take my chances....

Try Craigslist. Look in the Akron canton Ohio pages. Search for rubicon parts, they guy has a complete engine/tranny/wiring/sensor package from a hemi swap for sale, about $1k, says it has 50 miles

Yes, depending on where you are located you should be able to find one on CL. I know there are a couple around the Denver area. Just check all of the major cities around your area.
