There is nothing that marries you to having maintenance and warranty work done at the dealer you purchase at. If a dealer treats you different because you bought your Jeep somewhere else, they prove themselves fickle and untrustworthy, in my mind. It’s THEIR job to earn your business each and...

Not the same thing. He’s asking for an Employee Discount number, or Green Slip Price. It’s typically set at 5% under invoice, not including discounts, rebates, or dealer specials. The user must usually be a direct family member of an employee, and “selling” your discount can result in the...

Active noise cancelation is definitely an established art form in the audio world...but I’ve only experienced it in aviation headsets, earbuds, and the like. I assume it would be fairly easy to identify wind, tire, and engine noise to cancel, but I have no clue just how effective it may be with...

Carpet absorbs heat and noise...and as mentioned, is super easy to pull out. I would also appreciate a factory option for BedTred or Bedliner, but hasn’t been a priority for Jeep.

Well, that looks a bit claustrophobic...also fails to provide enough height for...well, “entertainment”

Resale is crazy on Wranglers, and I don’t expect it to be much worse on JT’s. I mean, I traded in a 2013 JKU with 45k miles after driving it for 3 years and got $1500 less than I paid for it...and I kept the hard top. Locally, we don’t have dealers doing 7% under invoice, so my Green Slip...

FCA and Getrag have some bad history. Oddly enough though, I believe Getrag had built the factory in Tipton Indiana to produce manual transmissions for Chrysler before their falling out. Now FCA owns the building and uses it for automatic tranny production.

I’m probably ordering white on day 1. Gobi is my top preference, so if the delay isn’t long, I’ll order that and skip the white one. Gator, Hydro and Sting all interest me as well. My problem with Gator is that I just don’t think any dark green has lived up to the perfection that was Jeep...

Yeah, it’s an interesting mix of Free Market, but then disaster mitigation demands eternal charity under name of never-sufficient reparations. Here’s the thing...we can only truly control our own responses and actions. I’ve known and experienced severe poverty, by American standards. I’ve also...

It’s entirely possible that I could order 3 different JT’s in the first 18 months. Color, diesel, and half doors could all necessitate different orders. I’m NOT afraid to leave a truck on the dealer lot or trade one in after just a few months. Resale value will likely make it easy to trade with...

Yeah, the big problem with the MRAP is that it’s...well...big. Great for IED locations, but inefficient and hard to utilize in tight quarters or as a simple domestic daily driver. Rumors circulated years ago that the J8 (militarized, diesel powered, Egypt built, version of the Jk) was going to...

I WILL order on day one...but I’m in a weird place. I changed jobs this year and have a pro-rated training contract that is sizable, and each month that I keep the job, 1/12 of the funds that would pay back the training cost go into my Jeep budget. Essentially then, every month I wait represents...

You’re terrible. You’re like the Gladiatopper version of the craft beer industry - way too many great options for any reasonable man to really buy them all...and maybe a couple that are a little too weird for most

Psh....I appreciate being informed. To be honest, I’m surprised nobody brought up the long game: 60,000 government used Gladiators hitting the used market in a few years! 7k is maybe better, in that they won’t have quite so significant an impact on resale values. A pair of those could be perfect...

FCA paid back their loan YEARS ago. Pretty sure that was within the first 24 months of the Fiat purchase. GM still owes, As far as I know. Ford is probably still paying back the private mortgages they took out before the bailout and did not have to pay back the government grants they received, I...

Not sure that I’d want to give up that much volume...but it looks better on this than the F150

Yeah, but this is the last one. And the final one.

Well, as mentioned in the post above yours, joining Tread Lightly for $100 will get you 1% under Invoice. There is no reason to ever pay more than that. It often takes 60 days to get your discount number, so join early. If Tread Lightly is a non-profit, you might even be able to claim that $100...

I don’t know whether to curse you or thank you. I mean, all these renderings in Gobi, to start... either the after market is never going to produce products that match the standards you’ve set, or I’m not going to be able to afford them. At least not all of them. Cuz, I want them all.

Unless they can turn it into another profit generator...which was the mindset of the local dealership that claimed my rear-main-seal failing at 10k miles was caused by a failing clutch. The clutch, they say, was failing because I took the Jeep off-road and manuals aren’t supposed to do that...
