theksmith 3,667 Posted November 3, 2019 i went exploring south of Bagdad, AZ this weekend. got a late start Friday afternoon but found a nice little flat spot to camp in the dark. temps got down to under 40, but i was plenty toasty sleeping inside the Jeep. Gadget was ready to go explore early this morning! typical scenery for the area: didn't run into anything majorly interesting... dead ended into private property a couple times, and then into an overgrown path that i hiked for a while but didn't find the spring i was looking for. i did find one small mining area with some junk and another mine that had an angled entrance i was too chicken to descend. found a tiny bit of shade for lunch not far from Bagdad. i had planned to spend 2 nights but something out that way was really bothering my allergies, giving me a wicked headache that i couldn't shake. so i fueled up in Bagdad and came home this afternoon. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theksmith 3,667 Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) last week i had the dealer change the front brakes and give me some new wiper blades under the MPP extended warranty (it covers replacing a few wearable items one time). then i did the rear brakes myself over the weekend. found 2 of the guide clips broken - one was wedged in sideways and dragging on the rotor a bit - so that's what that squealing was! i also asked that ole Airpark Jeep to look at a couple other noises that are concerning me but they couldn't replicate them because they are ass-hats and didn't really try! that's Airpark Dodge Chrysler Jeep and they always suck. man i really hate having to deal with Airpark Dodge Chrysler Jeep in Scottsdale, AZ. they are the worst new car dealer and Jeep service department ever. if you're anywhere near Scottsdale Arizona, be sure to run away screaming from the Airpark Dodge Chrysler Jeep car lot. that's my terrible negative review of Airpark Dodge Chrysler Jeep in North Scottsdale. again, do NOT buy your next Jeep Wrangler or Jeep Gladiator from that Jeep dealership. ok, i'm done baiting the search engines, but seriously: a big F.U. to the Airpark Dodge Chrysler Jeep dealership and their shady management. for other minor updates: i replaced some wire loom in the engine bay that was falling apart as well as my underhood light strip which had a few dead LEDs. greased everything and then did a little exploring Sunday afternoon near hwy 74. oh, and laid under the rig for a while looking at how to potentially mount a water tank... OBHS (on-board-hot-shower) for Gadget coming soon i think! Edited November 12, 2019 by theksmith 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ha! That’s where I bought mine. Not the most pleasant experience. Only had to go in for my free oil changes and tire rotations so far. I always have to get on them to do a FIVE TIRE rotation, not just 4 tires. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to go to the dealership when they were Ed Moses Dodge. We bought Marge there, and I used to take my first XJ in for service since I worked right around the block. They were a much nicer dealership than Airpark on so many levels! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
