JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Call me crazy but even if it were to ramp up to $2,000.00 I would call that minor considering it quickly became an amphibious vehicle that can't swim. Although I have this strange feeling that the dealership gave you a low-ball figure . . .

Hopefully it won't be as bad as the dealership is thinking.

Might want to tell the "new service manager" about this thread and how much action it is getting by a world wide audience, and don't try to pull anything, because somebody, somewhere, will call them out!

Good luck, been following this.

Ok.
Now I can't pick it up until I pay for it, which I can't do.
They want 80 just for looking at it.
They say I need a new shifter assembly, WCM, and clockspring.
I spoke with the one I usually deal with, and he is trying to get the stuff in the column covered.
I asked if it would fix it if I disassembled the shifter assembly and cleaned it all up. He said maybe....so that's the next project, whenever I get it back.

yeah ... nothing in the warranty say's you can't wheel it. i'd take it to anther dealer or higher up the chain.

if nothing else ... make them give you the parts to put in yourself, and cover the diagnostics.
