It doesn't matter if he has other threads with lots of questions and been sending some bad PM's to some of you. This is a writeup, and should be clean from non-helpful posts...

Just my two cents.

It's in the write-up section, all politically correct and stuff..

Well, I see no useful posts in this, except for the first post, the actual write up. Everything else is just banter, and has nothing to do in a writeup.

Hey, what I'm *****ing about is that this is a writeup. Then leave it as a writeup. Go bash on him on another thread, where it's more fitting.

Doesn't matter if I have 11 posts, or 1100. Just saying, keep the writeups what they are.

And, I have read his threads, and do agree with you on certain things...

Really??? 10 effing hours to do a VC?? And you guys are praising him??? Go buy a chiltons or Haines, step by step write ups without the "I don't know what the f uck I'm doing, but I'm gonna make a write up anyway" bullsh it. I'm sorry but this is ridiculous. You are trying to help beginners with a beginners knowledge. It's just retarded.

You're very welcome Mario! It is the most thorough write-up for this DIY on the internet. Most Jeep how-to's are woefully incomplete and only useful if you already are a mechanic. I wrote this one in hopes of empowering beginners to have the confidence to tackle the mystery of auto mechanics, and to inspire others to raise the writing quality of future Jeep write-ups. Good luck if you tackle this one!
