The Rubicon axle is definitely wider, by about 1.5”...but I believe it was supposed to be upgraded in some other way. Maybe someone has the info more readily available.

Good question...but this morning I asked the kids (5&7) if I should keep the white Jeep truck we ordered or wait for a better color... “Keep the white daddy. We’ll have it sooner and I want the stripes. It has the stripes, right?” It seems the boys demand I send some $ to pixel decals ‍

I notice you said “yet”

AC has been standard on the 4 door since 2011, at least, maybe going back to 2007. Adding features and increasing the cost isn’t exactly a method ripping anyone off...your get what you pay for. I’ve been living without power windows and locks on a JKU for the past 6 years. In fact, my windows...

According to Jeep.com, “Speed Control” is listed under standard features on a Sport.

The nutshell is oversimplified. The Sport DOES have AC, only the 2 door Wrangler doesn’t have it standard. The Rubicon tires are 33”...largest ever offered on a Jeep, and the high clearance flares allow 35’s without a lift. It CAN be super expensive, but is only about $3500 more than an equally...

Yep, just expect to spend some money on tools. Aside from a good socket set, I highly recommend ratcheting wrenches. Assuming this is similar to the JK, then 16 and 18mm are most often needed. Consider a torque wrench from Harbor Freight...with a coupon, they’re only about $10 and tend to be...

I managed to do the same for a drive from Nashville to Indy....the problem came when my wife stole the keys the next morning and drove it to work. Next thing I know, she’s got it loaded down with teachers somehow making a mid-day run for “supplies” from Walmart...smh. NOW the woman that just HAD...

35’s are supposed to fit on a Rubicon...but I’d make sure you get good value on the stock 33’s. Those will fit a JK or a lifted Grand Cherokee, so they’ll have a strong price in a local Jeep group...AND YOU NOW WILL HAVE A TRUCK to toss them in the bed of. Since mud tires are a zero cost option...

That’s something you’d have to negotiate with the dealer. A shady dealer will sell you the new rubber at MSRP, in addition to your new Jeep purchase and then quietly push the stock tires into a dark corner until you drive away so they can put them on a trade-in or something. If the dealer...

Talk to Matt Magnuson at LaPorte Jeep. Tell him another Jeremy sent you...I don’t know that he’ll go below invoice without a control number, but if you have one, that should get you to 1% under. He also includes a lifetime warranty with new vehicles...so there is value in that.

In fact, it seems the S can be ordered now, while the base Sport may not yet be available.

You’re talking to the wrong people about the wrong thing. Affiliate discounts are independent of incentives. When Jeep offers incentives those are in addition to affiliate (1% under invoice) or employee pricing (5% under).

Honestly, that depends more on how heavy your right foot is. A programmer will help you optimize shift points with the auto and can make up for the 4.10 gears...but accepting the fact that you’ll be driving an aerodynamic brick down the freeway and keeping yourself close to the speed limit is...

Personally, I could never justify the loss of streetability that comes with 37’s. They will have to wait until I have a vehicle that isn’t my DD.

Yeah, you won’t see those exact models hitting showrooms...but most of the modifications will be available through Mopar. Aftermarket companies will also offer similar mods, in many cases of higher quality, and sometimes at lower cost. Just keep in mind, if it’s crazy cheap, it’s probably...

I’d just like to point out that the order code is JTJS98 for a Rubicon. I’m gonna call it destiny that my initials are JS and I graduated in 98.

Canadians, eh?

Well, since leather was required for a Rubicon today, my wife insisted on adding the Cold Weather package (no use spending money twice to get Katzkin). There is a small window of time in which orders can be altered, so if the leather only requirement vanishes, I’ll replace Leather and cold...

Well, kinda crazy, butt when the dealer tried to select Bedlining, the system auto-required a crapload of other stuff: roll up tonneau cover, body color hard top, steel front bumper, off-road front camera
