WJ brake rotors - ongoing yearly replacement problem

Exactly. Thou resurfacing was waste of money, unless the rotor and/or wheels were unevenly and out-of-spec torqued.

I have now also TSB ('01 WJ) rotors replaced, TSB ones lasted roughly

20K miles. Replacement rotors are Stillen. Service made a mistake: TSB ones were grinded before they noticed the new ones. At least my TSB rotors had cracks in both rotor's inner blade, cracks were in inner and outer edge. Stillen rotors have now some 5K miles on them, no studder yet.

Agreed, that and factory rotors are simply the cheapest lightest things they can put on there.

Here is another bit of advice on turning rotors. You simply can not turn the warp out of a rotor, period.

Turning is only for when the rotor has suffered a gouge large enough to cause problems or to remove the edge some pads leave on the face before setting a new pair on. Sure, a warped rotor can be turned flat again, but the next time it gets hot the warp will come right back.

I'm amazed how many times folks at work have not listened and had Midas turn the brakes. Every time the warp comes back and every time Midas refuses to stand behind the claim. It's nothing more than a money maker for them.

Have your rotors/drums done it is all the rage.

among the MANY awful things that happened to Jeeps when Krysler took it from AMC was brake problems. going back many years, not only for their jeeps, but for the other Kyrysler products. They never learn. Too dumb to learn from their mistakes. Complain to the factory service rep. I did on another problem, and got it fixed free....
