What owners wrote
The jeep caught fire from what is thought to be vegetation caught up and under the skid plate. The vehicle was being driven on and off road.
Couple things. While in motion in 1st gear, the vehicle will pop out of gear suddenly, making a loud clunking noise. Also, when filling up the tank, it will overflow.
