I just bought a new 2010 Wrangler, 2-door, Mountain. I'm not new to Jeeps but I am new to Wrangler's. I owned a Cherokee for 10 years and then went on the "Dark Side" and drove an X-Terra for 8 years. I have always wanted a Wrangler but could not because of kids and family and all that. Well, now the kids are gone and I have my Wrangler!
First I'd like to know if I have a JK, CJ, or what. I don't know the difference. Next, I'd like to know what's up with the license plate holder!? I bought a Jeep chrome plate holder and I know the plate gets tucked in on the right and is held in place on the left with a screw on the top. OK, my plate is secure but my chrome holder is swingin' in the wind on the right side. Anyone know what's up with this?
I also need some advice on towing. I'm going to be towing my Jeep behind my RV and need to hook up a break-away switch with a wire that goes to the driver's side floor to hook to my aux. break. The break-away switch gets mounted on the front bumper and runs back and thru the firewall and then on to the floor. Does anyone know how to get thru the firewall without drilling a hole? There is a rubber grommett on the firewall under the hood, upper driver's side, but I don't know if it leads to the inside of the car. I would really appreciate some help on this one because there really is no room to drill a hole under the hood without removing the engine! LOL!
If anyone can give me some guidence I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance, Michael, the new guy here.:doh: ]]> General Jeep Discussion Michaelmusicman http://www.wranglerforum.com/f19/newb-questions-about-new-wrangler-60747.html http://www.wranglerforum.com/f19/a-few-pics-of-a-afternoon-ride-60735.html Sun, 05 Sep 2010 19:30:52 GMT Took these Saturday afternoon, a few miles up the road from my house.

Unless Goodyear makes this into Silent Armor or Wrangler SR-A tire line, its just to smooth a tire.

I'd like to share a website that has proven quite helpful to me by giving me insite into how dealerships work, what to watch for, and how to negotiate most effectively.

CarBuyingTips.com new car buying guide, avoiding dealer scams, new cars, used car buying

Its a free site. Kinda lengthy. But very educational.

If you read through it, you'll probably save several hundred dollars. If you break that down accross the time it takes you to do the reading....the pay-off is pretty sweet.

I hope yall find it helpful. ]]> General Jeep Discussion TJ-Newbie http://www.wranglerforum.com/f19/advice-for-buying-from-a-dealership-60641.html http://www.wranglerforum.com/f19/local-trails-posted-60618.html Sat, 04 Sep 2010 13:34:09 GMT So, the local trails about 15 mins from me, that I have been really excited about going to, I have no found out from a friend are posted, and a bunch of people have gotten like, huge fines for being caught there.

So, the local trails about 15 mins from me, that I have been really excited about going to, I have no found out from a friend are posted, and a bunch of people have gotten like, huge fines for being caught there. This really bums me out because I only know of one other place that I can ride trails, an its an old mining area, alot of people have died there on ATV MX accidents, and its definitely not legal to ride there, but is never patroled... But still Id just love it if there was somewhere around here for me to ride. I need to look into some legal trails/gameland or park areas.
