I'm assuming you don't have a soft top for your Jeep? As far as the wheels go, do you still have the original wheels to swap back on? The wheels didn't take any damage in the accident (I would give both front wheels a very thorough inspection)

A trailer with a dry weight of 6000lb could very easily be well over your towing capacity once it is loaded up. Batteries, water, clothes, food, dishes, bedding...and remember that the truck itself has a max payload capacity that it can carry on its axles; so you need to consider the weight of...

Is the 6000lb weight for this travel trailer its actual weight as is, or the dry weight?

I don't think they are actually made of a different material; I believe the standard black hard top simply has a texture applied (or uses a textured paint) before being painted black (which probably means less work is required to prep the part when it comes out of the mold). Presumably the color...

I often see people saying that they find the dual top pricing to be confusing, but it may help to think about it like this: The base price of the jeep includes a soft top. The hard top option replaces that soft top with the (more expensive) hard top; so you are just paying for the upgrade. The...

There are certainly some dealers out there that are putting huge markups on their vehicles, but there are other dealerships that are not. Some are discounting below MSRP or even below invoice. When I ordered my Gladiator, one of my local dealerships gave me a quote of MSRP + market adjustment +...

It would be a standard (open) front differential, though of course with the BLD and traction control systems your Willys should be very capable (my 2015 JK Willys certainly was).

I wonder exactly what data they are using to calculate those figures. They have the Gladiator listed with a 'premium' of 26% and a "raised price" of 53,361. Of course, 53k is below the highest MSRP you could configure a Gladiator at, depending on trim level. I'm assuming they used some sort of...

I wondered about that when I saw the earlier today. A simple mistake, or is it that they actually used particular trim levels or models for the figures, and then left off that level of detail in the final list?

A different manufacturer doesn't surprise me, but it does seem a little odd to me that they switched to a different type that actually required a change to the receiver(s) in the vehicle. Ultimately just an annoyance for those buying take-off wheel/tire combos, and probably a headache for the...

I've noticed some websites asking if the build date on a Gladiator was before or after June 2021, and for example I now see some listings of TPMS sensors as being for build dates of before/after June 2021. Does anyone know if there is an actual change in compatibility with the TPMS sensors here...

The answer isn't entirely cut and dry; right now you should be able to get a very good price for trading in or selling your JK, but the prices are up and inventory is low on new vehicles. Many dealers are selling new vehicles above MSRP, especially on any vehicle they have on their lot. However...

It makes more sense now understanding that you already have the trailer and are getting a real, ready-to-roll weight. Something to consider here is that if you are getting those weights from a scale is that you aren't directly seeing the tongue weight of the trailer; it is "hidden"; if you had...

I'm confused at this point, do you already have the trailer, and you are saying everything is already in the camper, and you've weighed the camper with all that stuff in it, propane tank full and such, and THAT weight is 4980? Or the manufacturer's rated weight of the trailer you are looking...

I wonder if you are underestimating how much weight you are going to be putting in the trailer (and the tow vehicle!) to actually go on a trip. I assume that a trailer that large has a bathroom, probably some sort of kitchen, and is probably going to be for more than 2 people. Just the bedding...

I'm not sure I agree with the last point; take a look at the rear of the hard top for a Wrangler; it has a huge opening with a rear window that is simply hinged up at the top, so it has no "horizontal structure" at the bottom. I do think that it would have been possible to make the rear window...

Any idea how much just the rear portion of the hard top weighs? Are you taking it off by yourself?

That was for wheels and tires, right, not just tires as OP stated? Because the tires alone shouldn't be $1500 new, let alone as take-offs.

With my JK, I immediately saw that I could buy a complete set of wheels and tires with little to no wear for way cheaper than replacing my tires. I did buy and sell several sets while I had it, though whenever I sold a set that I had put any significant amount of miles on, I always knocked the...

If you are listing them on craigslist, what others are selling for is going to be the biggest factor. If you live an area where there are a lot of take-off wheels/tires on craigslist, that is probably going to drive the price down quite a bit, especially if you are selling just tires. For...
