Thanks for all the input so far...

I agree with what you're saying; I mean, yeah, if the seal is better, then that's a good thing. And the wheel scuffs, so long as it's only cosmetic damage (meaning no long-term ill-effects result), then yeah, I can live with that. It just kinda sucks that you give your X to someone to work on, and it comes back with stuff messed up.

Don't mean to be a woman (read: complaining about cosmetics) about all this, but she's still my garage queen (for now)--I still use my TJ for all of my off-road cravings. And yeah, Mike100, budgeting for two toys is a killer!! I keep explaining to my fiance that they're both quite worthy toys and deserve to be treated well. She never really understood before (she drives a Saturn Ion ), but I think she's starting to get it now--she now wants a Liberty (at least it's a Jeep)...

Thanks, guys...appreciate it.
