How much would it cost for a 2007 Jeep Wrangler to have auto body work done?

Posted on November 30th, 2009 in 2007 wrangler by admin

I ran into a wall yesterday and I hit it pretty hard. I hit the left tail light and it pushed it in and made a big dent. The paint is coming off too. The tail light is cracked but still works. I have pictures of the damage too. Can anyone help me and give me a rough estimate?

to be quite honest, a good body shop will give you a free quote and it would be more accurate than if you asked random people online.

how big a tire can i get on my 2006 jeep wrangler?

Posted on November 30th, 2009 in 2006 wrangler by admin

was wanting to upgrade my factory tires to some bigger ones.how big can i get without a lift.I was thinking 10×31.50’s.can someone let me know.

Yeah 31 x 10.50 is the largest you want to put on stock rims. I had a 2004 Wrangler set up this way and never had any problems. Just get a good all terrain tire. If you get a tire that had large knobs on it, it will definitely rub. I never had any rubbing issues. You will lose a litttle power on bottom end but not much. Remember, for every inch you add in tire height take 10 off your gear ratio. For instance, if you have 3:73 gears and you put a 31" tire on, which is 3" taller than the factory tires, your jeep will run like it had somewhere around 3:43 gears. Basically you lose your bottom end. If you would put a lift on for larger tires than 31", I recommend changing out your ring and pinion for a lower gear.

What is the estimated largest size camper trailer that can be pulled by a jeep wrangler?

Posted on November 30th, 2009 in wrangler by admin

It is a 4×4 jeep wrangler V6 4.0L Automatic . Obviously no fifth-wheel trailers, but what would the largest potential size be?

The Wrangler will pull a small pop-up but you will get a lot of sway with the short wheelbase.I pulled a 12ft pop-up that weighed over 2000lbs and had no trouble but couldn’t drive more then 50mph without sway.

How come people don’t break into Jeep Wranglers with plastic windows more often?

Posted on November 30th, 2009 in wranglers by admin

I would never do this. I’m only 13. But I would consider getting a Jeep, later. Why don’t people break into them? Do Jeep owners have to be careful as to what they put in their car? I mean, all a bad person would have to do is cut through the plastic with a knife. Just wondering. Thanks.

Everyone who owns a convertible (wrangler or other make) know how vulnerable their vehicles are to break-ins so they don’t leave anything worth stealing in their cars – thieves also know this, so they leave them alone and go after hard-top vehicles with contents worth stealing

how can i disable the alarm system in my jeep grand cherokee without a key chain?

Posted on November 30th, 2009 in grand cherokee by admin

i have a 1996 jeep grand cherokee limited addition. i do not have a key chain to disarm the alarm system if it is sounded. is there a quick fix to this solution?

If you have the manual for the vehicle see if the alarm fuse also runs other accessories if it’s just a solo fuse yank it.

How hard would it be to install a new muffler & exhaust on my Jeep?

Posted on November 30th, 2009 in new jeeps by admin

I’m looking to add a new exhaust package complete with the catalytic converter, new exhaust tip & muffler for my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. I have found the parts I’m looking for as well. I’m just wondering exactly how hard it will be to do this myself.

I do have a friend who has the hook up to get the exhaust system wielded on so that’s not an issue.

Well many brands have step by step directions and easy to do bolt on clamps and hangers.

As a ‘half’ Cherokee how do I go about finding a Federally recognized Cherokee tribe?

Posted on November 30th, 2009 in cherokee by admin

I want to go to college and I can not afford it on my own. My father is a full blooded Cherokee (yes, it has been verified, proven). We have a tribe that is in a town approximately 45 minutes away but I do not know how to get recognized as a tribal member or even if I can. Any help will be more than appreciated, thank you.

You’d only be eligible for enrollment in the tribe your father is enrolled in (since you’ve said he’s your Cherokee link) and then you may not be eligible for enrollment in that tribe either. In order to be enrolled you must 1) be a lineal descendant of a person listed on the tribe’s base roll and 2) meet the tribe’s other enrollment requirements such as minimum blood quantum. Each tribe is it’s own sovereign nation and sets its own enrollment requirements.

There are ONLY 3 Federally Recognized Cherokee Tribes:
Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma
Base roll: Dawes Roll
No minimum blood quantum

United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee (Oklahoma)
Base roll: Dawes Roll
1/4 minimum blood quantum

Eastern Band Cherokee (North Carolina)
Base roll: Baker Roll
1/16 minimum blood quantum

There are state-recognized tribes and also other groups that are not recognized that call themselves Cherokee tribes but are actually non-profit organizations. "Enrollment" in any of these groups is not the same as enrollment in a federally recognized tribe.
