See that post? That’s me. I traded that Jeep this past Monday. And guess what I’m installing on the new one I traded for... 😀

The one on the left was mine till Monday afternoon. The one on the right was mine once we signed the paperwork, Monday afternoon.

Likewise when I was in the car business maybe 25 years ago.

2024 police Road King. I ordered it new and put on 15,000 since early ‘24

You are correct

I can’t remember if I posted this here or not. Ten 392 JLUs on the lot in Boone NC. No JTs. I’ll be up there tomorrow.

Thanks. That confirms what a friend told me who lives up there and owns 3-4 Jeeps. He said, “If you go in there, plan to open up your wallet. "

I took that picture of those 392s at Rubi Trux in Boone NC. They do 392 conversions among other things. I found this link at their website. I might be interested. https://www.rubitrux.com/rubitrux-steel-bumper-package-wrangler-jl-gladiator-jt.html

As posted upthread, I bought an Assurant warranty a year ago when I bought a ‘24 Sport S because the dealer didn’t want to sell a factory warranty. $1974 for ten years or 100k miles. $100 deductible. I just traded that Jeep to another dealer for a Rubicon. They wanted to sell me a Zurich...

Pic was taken of 392 hemi JLUs at RubiTrux in Boone NC, so I’m sure those bumpers won’t be cheap. Anyone recognize what they are?

I did a thing today. Drove down 80 miles in my 1 year old Sport S to look at a new Red Rubicon. One stayed, and one came home with me.

I rode 3.5 hours earlier this week on my ‘24 Sport S stock cloth seat non-stop, which I never do. And I do not have an “all day ass”. I spend considerable sums on my Harley seats that I ride twice as much as my Jeep, and I was surprised I could ride my old a$$ that far in the Jeep without stopping.

Just remember. That front bench seat folded all the way down, like a sleeper sofa.

I remember (barely) in the mid 70’s, we thought 318s sucked, even new. I had a friend with a Challenger with a 318, and I wondered even then why on earth anyone would buy that. It felt like my ’63 Rambler 440 with a V-8 in 1972. I don’t even recall what engine that was, it was that forgettable.

When I bought my 2024 new the finance manager didn’t want to sell me the Mopar warranty. Proposed the Assurant warranty. I rarely buy warranties, but with all the electronic failure modes in new vehicles and so many warranties covering only mechanical failures, I opted for it. Price was right. I...

I’m in Boone NC tonight. Stopped by RubiTrux to see about any wheel/tire take offs they might have. They have ten 392 Hemi conversions in JLUs on the lot.

Bought a full set of Weathertech. Ran with just the fronts for a while. Got bored and installed the rears. They look like they came on the Jeep. Front Rear

and an ancillary question, if I opted to still run my stock 17” 7.5” wide rims, can I run 285 70 R17 tires on them without issues? versus the stock 245 75 R17s? Edit: And you already answered some of that question. Thank you.

2024 Gladiator Sport S running stock light truck tires (Bridgestone Duelers) 245 75 R17 on stock 7.5” rims I found some local Rubicon takeoffs with 1000 miles, wheels and tires. 285 70 R 17 Goodrich AT K02s What issues will I encounter? The Rubicon tires are slightly lower profile, and wider...

I’ve got auxilliary switchs. So maybe enough room left for a pack of Camels. But I quit smoking in ’89.
