If you are lazy and trade, thats what you'll get. If you sell it yourself, it's different story, and this goes for any vehicle. You will always get more when you sell it yourself. It's also contingent upon your market. Lets say you live in New York City, or just about any other large city...
HA HA, You are dead on point with this post. JT's make a horrible DD, however, they make a fantastic recreational vehicle. I know everyone has their "Ideal Use" for whatever vehicle they buy/purchase, but 1st of all, the JT is JEEP, not a Pickup. Yeah you can throw a couple things in the mini...
I also Have Allstate, just moved our Policy back over to them. I pay a little more to have the vehicle insured for its "real time" value, via an appraisal done yearly by the dealership appraiser. I was worried sick about eating the depreciation should something catastrophic happen to it like...
Go with black if you plan to do some serious off roading. I have the premium soft top as well, going on 4.5 years. Absolute best decision ever for the JT. To easy. But I don’t use mine as a DD ever. Off roading or pulling my trailer. I’ve worked it like a dog. 48,000 miles no problems.
I hear ya. I'm overly cautious as my JT only comes out of the garage to play hard or pull my 4k lbs off road travel trailer into the sticks, no city driving, no ducks. so every summer it goes to get the suspension inspected, tightened, lubed, adjusted & aligned. So far so good. I've found...
6" lift, I think I went to a -18 offset wheels hydraulic bump stops, 5.13 gears. I went to 37x12.5 and was disappointed for 18 months, then went to 38x13.5's, and I am much happier, not necessarily with the 38's, but with the 13.5's. Weirdest part is my mpg's went up a couple miles per gallon...
hmm, I hope that works for ya. I do have a question tho, I went to 38's as well, 5.13 gearing. But mostly I wanted the 13.5 width. Just curious why you opted not to go to 13.5? Also, I just run a 37" spare for emergencies and extremely limited use. I figure after 4.5 years of owning a JT and...
I've had my jT for more than 4 years now, I just went from 37's to 38's after 3 of those four years.
So here is how it played out for me & my JTMT;
Started with a 2" lift. This was a waste of time and $'s for me, due to me wanting a trail rig that could also pull my 18' travel trailer (4000...
I posted a video in this thread. The e-brake backplate came loose, all 4 screws were just doing rock tumbler action in the e-brake drum, chipping the ESC gear teeth and causing havoc
all right, I finally had the time to rip into the rear disc and see what’s going on. I’ll attach the video because I’m pretty sure this is what’s causing it, just in case anybody else is having the same problem it was not electronic it was a Mechanical.
I'm with ya on Moab. just got back 2 weeks ago from my 4th trip there, took a buddy from work, blew his mind. Finally did Golden Spike, Metal Masher and Cliff Hanger. Cliff hanger delt me my 1st body damage blow, but I'm 4 years in with my JT, it was bound to happen. Only BOH trail for me in...
