    the window problem you speak of is probably because the plate that holds the regulator to the door shell is plastic and breaks quite often and sometimes cuts the cable.

    they also have problems with the a/c blower motor resistors on them.

    nice jeep though, have fun wheelin'

    If you're looking to go with a bigger tire setup as well as a suspension lift, you may want to look into one of these...Took them awhile to come out with them but they are finally here...

    LOL I wont, theres a few things I gotta fix. Those things listed above and then when I make left turns I can hear a loud noise like the wheel is rubbing the fender well, but I think it has the proper clearance. So IDK

    Yeah, I am with everyone else on the window motor and blower resistor. If it is making the noise while turning left, chances are that the RIGHT front wheel is rubbing. CV joints should be good. Chances are that if the previous owners towed it behind an RV, then they did not have the steering column locked when in tow. Do the front tires have excessive wear on the insides of outsides of the tires?

    The driveline should be pretty stout (motor is a gem), but those WJs had some electrical gremlins. I am sure most members of the Jeep forum should have answers for ya. One of the coolest things about the Overland--the built-in GPS.

    Yep pretty sure its the resistor. You can look at where the plug is plugged into and you can see how the plastic looks wavey ( most likely from getting really hot.) and once I wiggled the hell out of the wires, i turned the truck on, and the AC started working.

    Yeah the outsides of the tires looked pretty worn on the front. and yeah I am pretty sure its rubbing
