Is there any good shops, that has good prices, and wont try to rip you off on tires? thanks

P.S. also, besides morris, and 4 wheel parts, any one got any other shops they can suggest, for things like bumpers, winches, some armor type stuff and lockers. thanks.
Chuck Walker Tire in Pompano. Owner is a cousin of mine. He's been in business there for about 40 years I believe.

HaHa have seen him. Always around the new Morris Motors (a customer of mine).

Seems my XJ threw the dreaded Evap codes again. Just had $300 worth of worth to try and fix it prior to me buying it. All that $ and they didnt replace the gas cap...SMH Ordered a new OEM one for delivery Wed. Hope it helps.

Also working on figuring out why the drivers side power lock doesn't work. Makes the right noises but no actual movement. I felt the actuator but didnt feel any arm. Need to read more about the set up to understand how is functions.

Thanks for the welcome too. Should have the XJ at my house this weekend after I take the go fast parts off the WRX. Storing it in Ft Myers at the moment.


Anyone have exp with this cheaper NSS?

Plan to "wiggle" or clean mine first. At that price I might just replace.

*anyone interested in a 2010 WRX Premium LMK. I'm the 2nd owner and took great care of the car. Hate to see it sent to Carmax but o well.

Morris is right near us off Atlantic. I've outfitted 2 Jeeps using them and couldn't be happier. Saves on shipping.

You do realize Morris 4x4 gives us a forum discount as well? Just PM them here for your code. Once in their system, you're set.

I assumed so. They are a customer of mine so I dealt with them prior to joining this forum. Thanks for the heads up for sure.

Chris left a while back for a higher paying non-desk job.

Jessie was offered a good position in a repair shop overseeing Jeep customers right down the road.

Can't hold it against anyone who wants to better themselves. They went for it.

Me, I travel all over S FL for work. Even my Army Unit is in Ft Lauderdale. I drive the desert tan Comanche.
