Ive noticed that alot of renix jeeps have a knock, including mine.
How many of you renix owners have a knock?

Ditto, and I don't even have Renix. It's part of that whole 'Jeep Thing' everyone talks about.

Knocking is usually not a good sign. Hows the oil pressure?

Thats not what this thread is about, Im just asking how many people with renix jeeps have it. I saw 5 renix's today that had it.

20psi at 55, its part of that "drive it till it blows" thing everyone talks about.

Not sure if mine does or not. I can't hear past the squeaks, creaks, taps, wind noise, and my tools/spare tire banging around in the back.

It's annoying as heck! But the weird thing is that the knocking comes and goes...haven't heard it in about a week or so. I can also feeling it under my left foot when I'm driving...but I can't find anything wrong when I looked underneath.
