My Xtreme Power are still going strong 17 months and counting.

I thought you installed them in the Fall of 2010... before I installed mine in the Spring of 2011. :doh:

 

[the_jeep_now]

You're right, I did install them in September 2010. Well that makes it even better

 

[the_jeep_now]

Have you decided on the tires? Still thinking about H727?

Good to know! I have been looking at getting a set... are they as good as the packaging says?

 

[the_jeep_now]

Can't recall what the packaging says but I like them. As Murman pointed out it has been more than two years for me since I bought them. The light output is great so as the color.

The packaging says something along the lines of 80% more light of OEM bulbs, blah blah blah. It is good to know they are lasting a long time for you. My DRL's keep the bulb on all the time (low beam on FDII), so I need durable bulbs, and I would like some better light output

I may go w/ Michelin... Check out the post above the recent Philips' post...

High beam at a reduced voltage are the DRLS on my "All Weather Capability Group". That is why I thought it was odd that a low beam went out...:doh:

That is an AWESOME price for a set of Michelin's. Are those Michelins rated well by the customers?

 

[Murman]

I think they would function fine on the PAT as a 3 season tire. I am not concerned about their winter performance.

 

[MrJeepR44]

Considering you have to run a dedicated set of winter tires anyways, I think that is a really good point. That looks like the perfect tire for you, and maybe you'll even see a bump in mpg

 

[Murman]

Yep. Most of my travel is the 60 mile round trip to work on a highway. Only a couple of turns. Mimimal rain outside of winter, when I have my winter tires on.

1st time at a Dealership in 22 months/34K miles...

Lets see what the Multi-Point Inspection digs up...

They will not look into the air pocket on the Driver's door soft point as it was not "inflated".

Same Dealership... "I had to order an air filter. My CDJ local dealership does not keep them in stock... $19.41."

The problem list...

Air leak LH rear door by "C" pillar
Broken plastic cover on RH seat outboard side
Cruise control will not enable at times
Air bubble in soft point above LH front arm rest (Not currently present)
Frump-frump-frump sound from front of vehicle (SR-A tires)
Multiple dash rattles/noises (Afraid they would make it worse...)
Two outward facing dings (pings???) in the RH rear door panel (Know they would make it worse...)
Ooccasional noise from the front end. Only noticed when turning from a stop or backing out of the garage after being parked for the evening. Has happened 3 or 4 times in past two weeks. (Not currently present)

 

[Murman]

Four door seals, cruise control switch and a seat base cover are on order. No data on the multi-point inspection. ETA on parts, 06MAR13.

 

[MrJeepR44]

I need to get my front passenger plastic trim replaced as well. I don't have much hope on the rattles

I changed out my winter wheel/tire set last weekend (34,6XX miles) and installed the OE wheel/tire set. WHAM... the PAT started pushing to the right. Junkyears. Hate 'em. They have about 25K miles of service.

I hate my SRAs...mainly because they tend to suck arse offroad. You looking to replace them or just get them looked at for reballancing?

 

[Murman]

I will replace them soon. A $70 rebate just went active again on these tires...

Video taken after Susanville Auto Center replaced the cruise control switch on my 2011 Patriot.

As you can see, it is still not fixed.
