Hey all, it's been a while since I've been on here after I sold my 22 Rubicon diesel. I always liked that truck and ordered it just how I wanted it. I ended up making the decision to sell due to needing something bigger. I am now in a position where I can have the bigger truck and look for another JT.

Been looking for another Silver Zynith JT like I had with low miles but have only found two online so far. Neither are quite as optioned like mine was but I was expecting that. I have found a Hydro Blue one though that has most of what I had on mine plus leather which I could do without. Anyways hopefully soon I'll be able to jump back on here more. Not sure what I will end up with. Really want another silver Rubicon but need to look at overall price to add what I would have to pay to get it back to at least what I had and then whatever mods I would do after that. Pic of my 22.

Good luck with your search. You'll find something, just know it might take a minute. When I was looking I had to search nationwide and the closest diesel rubicon was 400 miles away. I ended up getting lucky when I went to test drive a Mojave at the local dealership, I mentioned I really wanted a diesel rubicon and the gal said she rarely sees them come through. One of the other salesman overheard me and and said they just got one in on lease return, hasn't even been through inspection yet. I told em as soon as its ready to let me know and I'd look at it, and it's a good thing I did because as soon as it hit their website they had a waiting list of folks offering a deposit to hold it, some as far away as Alaska!

When I typed in all the options I wanted when new, there were only 22 in the country available. I can’t imagine there would be anywhere near that in availability today. Good luck with your search. If you’ve found one or two that are close to what you had, I wouldn’t wait around on them too long.

I've been looking for one under 30k miles preferably lower than that. I've found a couple but like what was said above they are several hundred of miles away. That is okay though if I can get a deal going on one. Thanks

I have found a silver 23 with 15k miles for $41k and a blue 22 with 21k miles for $42k. The 23 is not optioned as much as I would like but could probably live with it. I would want to color match the grille and fenders which would add some expense. The blue one is pretty well optioned out just not big on the blue. Petty I know, first world problems lol. I did find another silver 23 with 19k miles but they are at $51k. Trying to stay around 40 if possible. We'll see how it all plays out.

What options are you looking for? Are any of them something you could do on your own?

In my case I wanted leather seats, trail cam, aux switches and inverter, but I settled for non of those because my search was proving difficult. But you can find leather seats on car-part.com for good prices, or you can get katskins. Trail cam is really just a convenience thing. After some research I've decided the VOSWITCH aux switches are a better option because you get 6 instead of 4 and they aren't dependent on the aux battery and all that crap. Inverter is another convenience item that I can just add to my house battery build.

Just something to think about.

I'm not against adding things myself but would be somewhat easier to find one already optioned if possible. The things that I want more than other options are color matched grille and fenders mainly. LED package would be nice and a factory steel front bumper. I can afford the trailer rails, auxiliary switches and the small stuff that the one I ordered had. The three things I listed are just higher cost items that I would rather not have to dish out for after buying one but I'm not totally against it if it comes to it. All depends on price of course
