my jeep has 53970miles on it. its an '01 with 3" of lift and 31x10.50 tires.
just about every thing on the list i can do my self except the bearings and seals. i talked to a friend of mine and he said there is no way my hubs need to be replaced with only 53970miles on it. the other stuff is just preventive mantinance that needs to be done any ways. do you all think the hubs need to be replaced? if so, where should i get them, how much would they cost, how hard are they to install? and what do i do for the fuel system tune up? how hard is it to flush the tranny fluid and re-fill it? along with the cooling system. wiper blades dont need to be changed. i have basic mechanical skills so please be spefic on replys on how to fix these problems. i think the price quote from firestone is a bunch of b/s and im not going to pay it. i think there just trying to get some $ back cuz i have life time alignments and get it aligned every time i get back from a trip.
