Hello!
I hope this is not asking too much but I need some help building this order because I am a little confused and want to have no regrets when I get it.
I will ask my questions first, then if you would please look down the list and give me some advise it's appreciated. THANKS!!
My end use is the Rubicon Gladiator will be a second vehicle, probably my last jeep due to I'm 60 years old; I will take it off road on occasion on some weekends but mostly a secondary rider toy...
1) My first question is what add-on options should I not get because it would be better and perhaps less expensive to get aftermarket?
2) I want to get a lift kit, I'm thinking 2.5 inch can I get a warranty approved lift? If not who has the best lift kit?
3) I am considering the diesel engine (VM Motori-built 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel) , as oppose to the gas engine what are your thoughts? I want heavy duty.
4) I'm thinking to get 35 inch tires after I get the vehicle, do I just order stock 33 inch tires and rims and sell them then buy new 35 inch rims and tires? Any tire rim recommendations?
5) I see it comes with winch capable steel front bumper as a $845 add on... Would I be better to not get the option and getting a modified after market bumber with a good winch?
6) Is the 4.1 axle the right one that I can keep or does this need changed?
7) I live up in the North midwest where it can get cold and want a hard top, but want the one I can dissemble and open up easily in summer which option is that?
8) I see it comes with a LED option is it better to get this with the order or should I skip it and get a different set up after market?
9) I have a viper remote starter alarm on my car, should I skip the Jeep Gladiator option and get the Viper so I can use my one remote?
10) I thought to get the automatic transmission because I'm almost 60 years old, but I had a CJ Jeep with a manual transmission and just want to make sure the automatic is the right vehicle.
The price not including discounts and tax is calculating at: $64,560, I will get some discounts such as employee discount and some other dealer discounts so I don't know what that will come out to. I want to figure out the order first.
If you could review down my list and write if you would get it or not and advise it would be appreciated!!!! Thanks!
