They are not MOD friendly on Warranty issues!
The front U-joints walloed out the ears on the short shafts on my Jeep..2006 Jeep with 18,000 on it purchased by me from Steve Christy Jeep Tucson Arizona.
Second new car purchased by me from that dealer.
My Jeep is modified and I would never bring it in for warranty work on something my lift or larger tires caused.
Jeep makes the outer shafts weak on there vehicles, and most dealer do not have an issue covering it for replacement on modified vehicles since this issue happens on non modified Jeeps as well.
Here is the 2007 JK with the same issue as mine, He is fixing it on the trail by welding the caps on the ujoints:

The *****hat owner at Steve Christy Jeep voided my warranty and refused to fix my Jeep. (found out this is just a scare tactic)

The issue is the gap in this picture....Its wallowed out the hole the ujoint cap goes in.
Here is a movie of the slop...right click and save:

I covered the Jeep in flyers at the dealer in front of the owner and proceeded to drive around the dealership for an hour, the owner finally came out and flipped me off.
I made a larger sign and protested out front this eve for a couple of hours....its amazing how many people will stop on a busy road to chat with a crazed white guy with a sign.

It makes me feel better to do this....I no longer expect anything from the sh!tstain of a dealer.
Its amazing how many people stop to talk with a crazy man with a sign.
Yeah I was amazed people stopped cars in the street to chat with me.
A cop slowed to read the sign and just waved.
Lots of honks and waves.
One guy used my camera to snap the pic for me.
I was offered coffee and Cigs.
Two high school kids hung out and chatted for about a half hour.

And yes my ***** Hurts.
UPDATE Morning after the protest.
Steve Christy called and ask me to stop protesting in front of the Dealership.
Offered me the warranty work.
I told him that I did not want his dealership working on my Jeep but will accept the parts so I can fix it myself.
After that I will never do business with him again.
It should not have taken me protesting in front of the dealership to get him to do the right thing!
They had to order the parts for the front axle....along with the relay for my intermittent wiper.
Just got off the phone with parts.....Steve Christy does not want me on the property so they are going to deliver them.
