  1. Pre-owned mileage in the Jeep world

    I checked out the exterior truck this afternoon. Zero marks on the skids, rock rails, frame, or differentials. Paint was good except rock chips on door hinges(fairly normal). Tires look to be orginal, they would have to be changed asap. If the truck ever went off pavement it did not involve...
  2. Pre-owned mileage in the Jeep world

    Yes, exactly. Lockers in particular and the 4.10 gears would be nice for 33’s maybe 35’s in the future. The rubi is optioned close to my Willy’s. The trade off is to gain lockers but lose some life of the vehicle. I don’t think it is worth it in this case but what I’m weighing is the difference...
  3. Pre-owned mileage in the Jeep world

    I had figured with the amount of inexpensive take off low mileage items on the various market places that I could swap out nearly all or even all of the bolt on suspension parts as needed or even right after a purchase for peace of mind.
  4. Pre-owned mileage in the Jeep world

    Ah good question about adding a cpo warranty. Will have to check on this.
  5. Pre-owned mileage in the Jeep world

    I found a local preowned lot that recently received a 2020 rubicon optioned similar to what I want. Its got the options I’m after with 63,000 miles on it. I would assume that new of a vehicle with that mileage would mostly be highway. 63k seems like a lot but it also seems that our newer...
  6. Tempted by a bronco

    Well my story ends in a whimper. Arranged to meet the salesperson this afternoon only to get a call back that the bronco is now sold. I do appreciate the back and forth comments on the bronco. It really is a nice unit and I think it’s fair to give ford a good look. I’m not so much locked in...
  7. Tempted by a bronco

    Maybe some misscommunication. I love the JT. I loved the way it rides and drives since day one. I did score some take off rubi shocks and springs which did not seem to change anything other then a little lift. Still rides and drives great. The only reason I’m tempted is because I do like the...
  8. Tempted by a bronco

    Im up against my budget. Every closely optioned rubicon or mojave I see is pushing 10k or higher over my trade value.
  9. Tempted by a bronco

    Looking at a 2.3 black diamond with additional mid package, modular bumper, and tow package. Are there any glaring short comings compared to my willys such as drive train or suspension issues? The way I'm seeing it now is the black diamond matches what I have and adds a few things I want to...

    Naked yard work. Load might have been more then I should have but a short five mile trip.

    That looks great. About how long did the install take? Days?
  14. Jtop install help from those that have one

    Received the replacement top. Still a very tight fit but all three support bars are able to fit into the roll bar notches where as the first top the support bars could not all fit in the notches. Support bars are pretty stressed and nearly pulling out of the notches on the replacement top...
  15. Asfir 4x4 Engine and Transmission skid plate

    Done and done. There was more room than I though.
  16. Asfir 4x4 Engine and Transmission skid plate

    I thought I could tighten them up once it was installed on the truck but the nut and bolt both turn. I’m not sure if I can fit a wrench on the inside to hold the bolt while I tighten the nut. The bolts are not very loose but loose enough for me to bang on the bracket to move it around bit for...
  17. Asfir 4x4 Engine and Transmission skid plate

    Installed this morning. Installed in the drive way with no jack stands or ramps so it was a little tight under there. I had some issues with the two front brackets not lining up correctly with the existing bolts on the truck frame. I ended up not tightening the bolts that hold the front brackets...
  18. Jtop install help from those that have one

    Resolved. I shipped back the original and I’m awaiting a new one. The first top took roughly six weeks from ordering to arrive. Figure I’m about three weeks into the wait for a replacement.
