Please don't post any more about the JT not being a "girl's Jeep". I have carefully crafted our entire JT purchase around this truck being for She Who Must Be Obeyed. It will be "her" daily driver, wink, wink. So she won't have to drive the old SUV or my can't-see-out-of-Vette any more, the poor...
Since Georgia is in the South, I want to post to this lonely section and get it started.
I'm just south of Atlanta and will be looking for places to trail ride. Nothing hardcore.
I have lots of tire knowledge and connections in the area if you need help with tires. 33 years in the tire...
I think the Rubicon has a 2" additional height clearance. The stock Rubicon comes with a 285/70R17 which is 1.18" wider and .64" taller than the stock 18" Overland tire/wheel. So if your are getting both tire and wheels off a Rubicon you should have plenty clearance on the Overland. The actual...
There are several very good size comparison websites. I like the one on Discount Tire website. I will be going with a 275/65R18 AT. Gives me a wider stance, aggressive tread and most importantly for me, the same height. So I don't have to worry about a change in speedo or calibration issues...
The other odd thing is there are over 70 JTs in route to the Atlanta area, about a third are Overland models. None have the body color roof. All have the black hard top. However, some of the Rubicons have the body color roof. Go figure...
The dealers in the Atlanta area are finally getting one or two JTs in stock. The closest dealer to me has a red Overland with a MSRP of $51k. She who must be obeyed and I went to see it today. It was in the showroom with no test drive offered. But we did get to sit in it and push all the...
For her it is difficult to park and drive a larger/wider vehicle. She has depth perception problems. The bigger vehicle is problematic at best. For me the alternative is her driving my Vette or our 10 year old MDX with 200k miles. Both are not good options. And as always, happy wife happy life.
Same as when the 2014 C7 Stingray Corvette came out. I went to see one they had in the showroom and it was $15k dealer mark-up and they would not honor my supplier discount. Went back a month later and it was reduced to $10k dealer mark-up and would not honor my supplier discount. Went back a...
