Transfer case was my fault. It was leaking slowly. But it gets parked on grass so never noticed oil underneath. I check it periodically now.

Transmission had been rebuilt before I got it. Or that's what the guys at the shop told me.

It's just been a lemon.

Jeep Wrangler.
It just turned into my daily driver while I am exploring trucks.
As a secondary vehicle, probably around 5k miles a year.
As a primary vehicle, probably around 14k a year.
No repairs to Wrangler. Just mods

Didn't say it was but it's more of one than a ridgeline. That's just a AWD accord without a trunk cover

Ok true, BUT............ That's more than the cost of a new one, isn't it?

Eta: I thought he said 29, but still. Motor must have been aviation fuel injected. Lol

Well I thought since I was going to have to replace the engine, I might as well add a few extra cylinders. Put in a 6.4 vvt hemi, so I have enough power now

, although the mileage isn't that great.
