At least he got there before too long. Last time I had an issue with my jeep my starter died on me entirely. In the middle of a sudden ice storm at a gas station 20 miles from home. With my wife in the car, since I had told here to carpool with the 4x4 in the bad weather rather than taking her pickup.

With all the wrecks due to the ice, it took better than 5 hours for the tow truck to get there. Work was definitely missed.

I would've gladly waited for the company in my town. This guy came from 25 mins out. And just was ridiculously rude. Why? Because I asked him if he wanted in neutral rather then park. Sorry I just spent a ton of cash into my new axles..

I'm PRETTY sure they're m10x1.5x25mm. Like...85% sure.
That sounds right, I replaced mine with a 3/8" bolt and it fit right through. m10 is just a hair larger than 3/8.

Well that's for the axle side bolt, not the bracket, sorry. A lot of upgraded track bars use 1/2" bolt on the axle side. Not sure what the frame side is. I am only lifted 1.5" even though I am on 33's, so my trackbar is stock. 330k miles and no trouble. Spent most of its life on the highway though with the PO.

I opened the hatch up today on mine and it didn't stay up. One of my liftgate struts had leaked all of its stuff out and was no longer holding up the hatch. Is that a common thing? They were new as of last Christmas. I replaced it with one of my old ones and its fine.

Sounds like a bum unit. Or a cheap one.

I had one of my Monroes do the same, I think it may have been the heat that killed it. The other is still holding the hatch, barely.
