Hold up, why would you need or expect a rebalancing for a tire rotation? They aren't taking the tires off each wheel, the wheel and tire stays together. And it's the wheel & tire combo that gets balanced.
Everyone else has pretty much said it, but +1 for getting a utilitarian full size truck for real work. I own a Gladiator because I do not do real work lol (wfh desk job; glorified mathematician)
Personally my pick would be the F-150, but it's really down to preference if it's that or the...
The alternative would be driving from VA to Orlando, which is easiest to do as a 2 day trip. Even with a hotel factored in this is still more expensive if you get a room that sleeps 2 (~$650 as of now for Feb)... but you're paying a premium to not have to do the drive so I get it. For coach it's...
This is purely my opinion, but like you mine is mostly on the street and I don't have plans of going crazy:
1. LED headlight housings. Don't do just the bulbs, it'll be just as bad as the halogens. You want the full projectors. It'll cost more, but it'll be worth it.
2. The mirrors, since you...
Yup, worrying about that sucks lol
I'd be running 18's on my M2 if I could. 19's are the smallest wheel that can clear the brakes.
And I'd run 16's on the Jeep if I could. Smaller wheel is always my preference.
This is less of a concern for the Jeep since it has a ton of options, but...
I got a massive one at 300 miles. All the way down to the metal. Not super thrilled about it, but c'est la vie.
Ordered a touch up paint stick and mud flaps
I never do extended warranties for my cars. In my experience they never end up being profitable. I take my chances and pay for any repairs after the warranty out of pocket. For the dozen+ vehicles I've owned I have never had to pay for a repair that cost more than the warranty would have cost...
He only put 1,500 km on it? That would certainly still be in warranty, so I'm assuming he bought this heavily used. Seems fishy.
If I had bought a beat to shit BMW M car, I would not be shocked to see a $20k bill for a powertrain replacement. My first reaction would not be to destroy this thing...
100% recommend Crutchfield
I've bought some stuff from Amazon - you need to be absolutely certain you know what you're getting. There is a lot of junk on there and there's no support.
Crutchfield has an incredible support; they'll make sure you're getting something that works and they give you...
Got mine!
Nearly hit the 60 mile mark taking all the backroads home to keep it under 60 mph and just enjoy cruising in it.
Nothing but positive things to say about Erik at CMA Valley Jeep. Got a smokin deal (6% under invoice) and they were easy to work with. He said a few forum folks have...
This is true of every forum I've been a part of ranging from the Ford Fiesta ST, Ducati forum, Honda S2000, to Nissan Titan talk, bimmerpost, and the mustang forum
Only reason I've had for an early oil change is the M2; it has a 1,200 mile service. It's free, but if you miss it they void your...
Y'all will be updated when I get mine, believe me!
Dealer ETA of 12/15 - 1/03 per the chat. Pretty wide range if you ask me.
Dealer said it shipped from Toledo on 12/08.
I don't see you on the tracker, you should join us who all ordered 2022's and meticulously track progress:

Did you negotiate pricing ahead of time? How are you going to play this - ask for another 1% off for Tread Lightly?
What are the terms of that Tread Lightly? I'm hoping to get my Jeep within a month, debating if I should sign up for TL or if it's a waste of money since I've already negotiated...
