Default Things Every Crossfire Owner Needs

!. Torx or "Star" driver and socket wrenches cheap!

http://search.harborfreight.com/cpis...kets&Submit=Go

2. Auto Club with 24/7 road service for tire problems with a $350 per tire & $350 per wheel replacement insurance policy, " Auto Advantage Plus Tire & Wheel Protection" for $89.95 / year.

http://www.theautoclub.com/auto/index.jsp

I have purchased this policy but, have not used it yet. Hopefully if I ever need it I will get some help with the high cost of a flat with my Crossfire. This may be false security but at least I will not have the pointless argument with Chrysler about roadside assistance.

Humm, I don't know anything about Auto Club. It makes me leery though. I would never purchase third party warrantees so don’t think I would purchase their roadside assistance plan. We got roadside assistance through our car insurance for less than $1/month. AAA is a proven roadside assistance too. I wouldn’t want to be in need of assistance to find out if they are legit.

That’s my 2 cents worth.

i am also a Jeep owner and believe me, i have the Torx thing covered.

that being said, i would stay away from cheap Torx. they will either destroy the bolt or the bit will twist, rendering it useless.

Yeah, I know what you mean, what a bummer it would be to find out it is a scam just like the Chrysler Roadside assistance & Crossfire tire failures.

You could be right I might regret my choice when I find myself sitting on the side of the road with a flat but, in the meantime I feel it is better than nothing.

As for the cost although I did not need the full features of an auto club I bought the coverage for the " Tire & Wheel Protection". It would be difficult for them to hassle you about towing for a tire failure when you have " Tire & Wheel Protection" coverage.

Check out their site they are a FULLY PARTICIPATING BBB member and located in Austin, TX.
