LOL!! you call that beat? you should see the underside of my jeep after 5 years and wheeling 2-3 time a month out here in the west coast. in spite of it all, i'm still running factory skid plates and cross member and, they're still doing their job just fine. but hey, it's good to know someone is fueling the economy

Well I took my jeep in to get a oil change ( my buddy shop) which he's had multiple jeeps said he was worried about my Trans, ya I might be a little nervous about messing something up...
