Most important reason. Bragging. To show off what I built. This vehicle will be a head snapper from those who work on it to those who see it. On a more serious note. I have a good working relationship with the Volkswagen dealership where I bought my MK6 jetta Tdi. Enough that I take my 2003 MK4 Tdi in for all its service. When it comes to Jeeps, I do almost ALL my own work. Unless I just dont have time or interest. My 1992 wrangler is built, not bought. From a $700 rollover to a pretty clean trail used YJ rocking a complete CJ front nose. My 1997 cherokee was a 2wd sport with a hole thru the engine block, converted to a 4wd and new engine done by me. That said, if I do get stuck or just dont have the time to do the work on my Jeeps from time to time, as such I have a local Jeep specialist who I take my jeeps and I have a good relationship with the service department of the local Jeep Dealership. Both the VW and Jeep Dealerships are are looking forward to seeing the barracuda. I have a good relationship and trust for them. I will def take it in for general oil and fluid changes like Antifreeze, transmission, and such. And things I do, I have the Jeep forum to reference. But again, its best to keep this part of the build complete and OEM or known Jeep Aftermarket parts.
