The TJ's got 40k miles on it now so I called up the stealership for an appointment. They quoted me close to $1000.00 for a 30k mile tune-up that includes draining and refilling the diffs and the transfer case along with all the normal stuff. That also includes an A\C check. Seems really pricey if you ask me :rolleyes: Where do all of you go for this kind of maintenance? I was going to PM some of our vendors but would like an idea of which ones do strictly aftermarket upgrades and which ones also do standard maintenance. I also need a tire rotation/balance and a front end alignment. I've been doing my own rotations and alignments and would like to see if there's a difference having it done professionally. Thanks for any input.

for 1000$ you can buy all the tools to do it yourself and still have money leftover for beer :D

Yup. Been doing ALOT of the 30,000 mile things lately..... It seems that most of the TJ's are right at this mileage right now. Give me a call at the shop and we can talk about it, some of the things that the manual reccomends, you might have done already, or is not really needed. I suggest that EVERYONE uses Schedule "B". If you read the things that "B" is subject to, you will realize that it must be the "Arizona" Maint Schedule.......:)

Never mind on the maintenance Joe. The wife told me that she wants to go see what kind of a deal we could get on a Rubi Unlimited this weekend. I'll call you next week if I don't trade my rig in this weekend.
