Yeah, I agree with all here about the low end power. I've got the flo thru Lukey exhaust system so when I stomp on the 'loudpedal' (I love that word), she goes and sounds great too. I don't drag race but there are times when you need that power.

I'll let you know if my 'stealership' (love that word too) does anythng about my remote locking/opening problem.
Keep us posted, and what dealer are going to.

Hey Chris, can you elaborate a bit more on these Nitrochargers for your WJ? The std kit you mention, is it just shockies or springs as well. How was the handling without the van?

The Std kit was just shockers. Every thing else is still standard. The ride with out the van is much firmer.

Thanks mate, I'll look into them. Hoping for something to tame or cure the WJ wallow/wobble without introducing problems of it's own.

Well I put my beloved Jeep in for the service this morning. I told them about me doing laps around the car in 33C heat, or a downpour (this morning ) clicking madly on the remote trying to unlock the car. I told them that the 'receiver' probably needed replacing.

"Oh,..it's probably just that the battery needs replacing in your remote", he says. "No", I reply. "I've only replaced the batteries 6 months ago, and besides an electronics technician has already checked the remotes, and they're fine. Please check the receiver".

I asked them to only replace or fix this issue under warranty. Call me if it is not covered. The car has been there for 5 hours and no phone call, so fingers crossed.
