front boot meaning the bladder boot they place between the cap and the "cab"? if so then they are terrible. rubs the paint, falls out, etc.. I don't even offer them at my store.
assuming you got a basic CX series. $1600.00 for the cap and $95 labor. if I really was trying to push a deal $1600.00 would be the lowest starting price I would go. that would be a whole sale cost at roughly 20% over dealer cost. which no dealer in their right mind would go below that margin.
cx at fullers starts at $1600.00 plus tax, plus installation. 185$ per side for outdoorsman windows, $75-125 for front slider, roof rack tracks only $225.00. your around $2300.00 not including tax, labor, or any other options like lighting, etc..
So just a recap the ARE CX was just released yesterday and is available for ordering. I am one of the largest ARE dealers on the east coast. All caps are built per order. they do not have these caps sitting on the shelf. so do not expect to get one quickly. Retail (starting) cost for a ARE CX...

also I noticed there is some wording issues with these articles from what iv read the wheelbase has not actually been widened.. if that was the case they would have to have a completely different frame, and wheel well design for the mojaves vs other JTs. but what has been changed is the...
thing that would have be sold on the Mojave is the steel knuckles, and reinforced frame. lockers can easily be added. only con to the Mojave atleast for me would be tcase gearing... those 2 things are really the only thing that id be interested in. the shocks and bumpers would all be replaced...
I run roughly 1500 miles a month. I am not overly worried about it. blow by is normal for every engine. but a catch can just helps prolong the life of the engine.
Another month down and checked the catch can again today. iv feel like I have been driving a bit more aggressive lately so the amount of oil bypass looks a bit more then previous but I am seeing a pattern here on the amount. I am going to bring this up to my dealer to see what they think.
