Oh they're polite ... but won't tell you if something is back ordered, they add on miscellaneous credit card charges, they get real nasty when challenged, don't admit errors, don't return calls ... I could go on & on & on from my own experiences & dozens I have read in Jeep forums. There's a couple HUGE threads about them on JeepForum, not to mention NAXJA & JeepsUnlimited. But your mileage may vary. Good luck.

Edit: in all fairness I must say their stuff is true beef. But they'll never see another dime of my money ever again.

What MAkes a K&N so great is that it helps get MORE COLD air into the engine. The hotter the air the less power. So the biggest help to putting a K&N "COLD AIR INTAKE" is the heat sheild it comes with. That acts as a barrier to keep the heat from the engine away from the intake.

Default t case drop

i just got done with a cheap transfer case drop kit... cost me a total of $12.35, instead of 35 bucks and shipping from some retailers..

wen to my local lowes wharehouse, got a section of 1 inch square tubing. and 4 grade 5 , i think 3/8 by 2 inch bolts and washers.

i simply cut the tube to length for each side of the tcase crossmember, drilled them thru and bolted them right up... presto driveline vibrations cured...

A buddy got his H1 stuck in mud up to the belly pan so he hooked the winch up to my XJ.... Long story short, he was dragging the XJ towards the Hummer even with rocks and all sort of crap behind the XJ tires lol

I think that it primarily refers to the non-H1 hummers (H1s are BEAST). I think it refers to whatever the hell H2 and H3 models are....

x2. The only complaint I see about *real* Hummers is the price. The problem people have is with H2s (luxury vehicle) and H3s (SUV at best). They took away all the capability, and tried to sell them as something else (kinda like new Jeeps).
