A $500 tune-up? What special things need to be done other than just the normal stuff?

 

i have no idea, thats just the price my dad gave me. He had his jeep tuned up a few months ago and said it was around 400$....

 

Do it yourself for under 100 lol

 

why do that when i can get totally ripped off and pay someone else to mess with my jeep?

 

Sounds like your Dad is like my Dad...take it to the shop for a lot of stuff because they know what they're doing. For bigger stuff, I see his point, but honestly, you can do a tune up easily. Honestly, anything involved in a usual "tune up" is easy to do by yourself.

 

glad im not the only one.... my dad just hates me working on my own stuff, and doesnt like me using his tools and getting his garage dirty, he wont even let me change my own oil.

i honestly have no idea for doing a self tune up. i mean spark plugs and that kind of stuff are no big deal, but he said something about them using special machines and shi*. im gonna look into it, but most likely it will end up in the shop and i will end up broke.

 

Because its easy to do a tune up. And buy a set of basic tools you should have in the jeep anyways and still save money. Then you can do it yourself with your own tools. No *****ing involved.

 

Im sorry to hear that your dads a girl

 

x2 Just go do an oil change in a field lol. And do your tune up outside of advanced. Ive done it before.

so when they come in i will be installing them and my rustys hd tie rod at my uncles house, so expect alot of pictures and actuall building coming up soon

 

Sweeeeeeeeet!!!

Congratulations man - those are pretty beefy, just keep the jam nut tight! I'd check the jam nuts at least 2x a week for the first few weeks after installation while they settle in.

 

also they just came out with it they sell a special two-ended wrench thats slim and one end does steering/trac-bar jam nuts the other side does all their control arm jam nuts

 

Damn so i guess there was no fixing the rubicon express ones you have? So did it strip the threads out or what?

 

haha yeah i know! clayton(simpleman) suggested them to me and i looked as his and my jaw literally dropped. they are huge and half the price of other control arms.
and will do. thanks for the suggestion.
They are pretty much ****ed. my top control arms are stock and lower ones are re. The grease fittings were broken off so i replaced them and tried to grease them and grease just started pouring out of the bottom with mud and water, and since re went under... no replacement parts for them.

 

RE is up and running again... They have been for a little while now. It's a little late now, but you could try contacting them and see of they are willing to honor the warantee from before they came back.
