Bought the JT ~3 weeks ago. Since that time, we've added:

  • 3" Lift
  • 37" Tires & Wheels
  • Extang Solid Fold 2.0 Tonnaeu cover
  • Fox Shocks
  • Auto-Electric step rock sliders
  • 2x Grab Handles (front seats)
  • Rhino-liner bed liner

Some other minor interior enhancements. Next up, quite likely is after market front-bumper with winch and some garage mods to hold the doors & roof items.

Never owned a Jeep before. This was a spur-of-the-moment purchase, but so far the wife (yes, its hers) is loving it!

I believe this was a MOPAR lift.

So, between now and December, the wife and I decided we'd either sell or trade-in our JT and sort-of upgrade to a Silver or Grey Rubicon Diesel. If you're in the market for an upgraded Firecracker Red and in/near Utah, let me know between now and then..

So your going to go to a JL from the JT, why not wait until the JT Diesel comes out, just curious?

No, we have a Gladiator already.. for about a month now. See photos above. We're going to move to a Rubicon Diesel when its available and change paint color.

Yeah I thought you were saying you were going to get rid of the Gladiator and move to a Diesel (assumed JL since JT Diesels won't out to mid next year, last I heard).

They just started the ordering the the JL Diesel now I think we will be lucky to see one by December. I suspect the JT Diesel will be around May-June, just a guess. But they are going to finish out the color release with the matching tops etc... before they start changing the engine in them. This is of course all my speculation, but I did hear it would be into 2020 before the Diesel JT is here.
