2021 JTRD officially out of Warranty....What to do next????

[Rusty PW]

Since it looks like no one wants to actually answer your question I’ll take a stab at it.
For cruising around town on 37’s it’s hard to beat a spacer lift from an economic standpoint. There are several good ones to choose from as it’s not that complicated.
Tires tend to be personal preference but for you intended use probably stick with the AT tire of your choosing for better on road manners unless you just like the look of MT and are willing to endure their on road performance.
I can’t comment on snorkels as I don’t have any experience in that arena.
Which screen are you looking to replace?
Wraps and decals are an endless array of options really only bound by your imagination and wallet.
Other things to consider for your intended use: a lot of people like pedal monster which won’t impact your warranty and a tazer is super common as well. Options for things like bumpers, winches and aux lights are nearly endless and they look cool but functionally you don’t need them so up to you how far you want to take it.

Hell.......let's just bankrupt him now instead of nickel and dimeing him to death . 6" long arm lift with King coilovers and hydraulic bump stops. Let's not stop at 37's. 42's should do it. And since we got the 42's. Need Dana 60's for them. The 42's will also need a hydraulic ram for the steering.

Exactly, where to draw the line for the sake of looking cool while cruising through town? OP didn’t give a stated budget so who’s to say?
Just go buy the Nacho Diesel build but don’t wheel it?

So my JTRD turns 3 years old and just about hit 30,000 miles. It is officially out of warranty and it is time to mod this thing.

Need help with suggestions on a budget (I don't mind spending for the right part)

I am not going to off road this thing (I know.... I know) I just want it to look cool.

some of the items I am looking at:

small lift

37 inch or bigger tires

snorkel

new screen to replace the 2 inch one I ordered.

some custom decals/wrap (I live in South FL if anyone knows of a good company down here)

Thanks and feel free to suggest anything else I should do. Been thinking of putting new seat covers over the OEM cloth ones.

Drive it like you stole it.

Just FYI but I believe your DPF and SCR are covered to eight years or 80k miles. Its on page 17 of my 23 owners manual.

So I am not certain there is a snorkel option for the diesel as the air cleaner sits on the driver's side of the engine whereas all the other engine options are on the passenger side (at least it was that way the last time I looked at them).

With regards to the lift and even shocks, be sure you buy a lift kit that is specific to the diesel engine as the springs and shocks are different. That would also apply to any inner fenders if you decided to go that route as the windshield washer reservoir interferes with the fronts and the DEF tank interferes with the rear ones.

I would add 37s as the diesel isn't impacted much by the larger tire, consider the Mopar lift with the Bilstein reservoir shocks, and of course a winch if you haven't added one yet.

35s and 37s on Mopar 2" lift. I had the dealer install the lift kit and 35s before I took delivery. I added the 37s and don't regret one bit. I've done several tasteful mods (IMO) that you can see from looking at the pictures. You have questions, PM me and I'll be happy to share.

Or delete it and have fun with the new found powah

AEV makes a snorkel for the diesel. It's $904.

Thank you for the info!

the screen is like the 5 inch standard screen that comes with the base sport.

I am sure all roads lead to this eventually.

what did this start as? I have a Sport so I am curious if I'll need a little more space compared to the rubicon fenders. Truck looks great.
