I didn't know Carvana sold brand new Jeeps, they have a pretty good select of Rubicon X and Mojave X JT's with about $9,500 off sticker. Wonder what their dealer mark-ups (rip-off charges) are compared to most local dealers, anyone know?
Referring to the OP's post, I didn't see and area of the seats that were split or cracked?, just extremely dirty from being neglected and not cleaned or leather treated for a long time but nothing that can't be corrected with proper treatment. Are we looking at the same picture of the seats?
The OEM/Mopar Katzkin leather seat covers with the Jeep grill can be ordered from the Mopar accessory catalog. And probably directly from Katzkin also.
Katzkin regularly runs sales of $500 off; another good brand is Alea leather, comparable or better than Katzkin. I had Alea leather installed by AEV in my JKU (pic attached), I've had Katzkin in another vehicle (no pic). The factory leather in my Mojave X is as good and probably better than...
Ouch....clean and leather preserve that back seat! Then get a Weathertech cover to protect it while transporting your friendly K9. This is where I buy my leather treatment stuff. https://www.griotsgarage.com/wash-detail/leather-interiors-liquids/
My opinion is the OP is flat wrong if comparing a stock unmodified JLU and a stock unmodified JT.........My stock 2025 JT Mojave X rides much better than my stock 2026 JLU Rubicon. My JT Mojave X actually seems plush compared to my JLUR probably due to the specific Mojave suspension combined...
I had an AEV snorkel on my JKUR with the AEV hood. It was quiet but didn't realize any performance benefit since I didn't follow others kicking up dust off road. My factory stock 2025 JT MojaveX with the 3.6 engine already draws cool "ram" air from an air inlet opening in the grill (passenger...
Agree, time to get this thread back to the original question without the politics. :) Quote: "if you live in CA with an AMW V8 conversion, how are you passing the visual smog inspection?"
I'm curious what the warranty company (Zurich) will say when/if they inspect your vehicle and see aftermarket suspension parts. Will that be enough for them to not warranty your claim? Please keep us updated...curious because I have a lifetime powertrain warranty through them. BTW I thought...
If you look closely it's obviously a steel bumper......notice the visible steel screw heads holding the removable bumper ends on; that's the giveaway, plastic bumper are smooth on top.
I would avoid that option as they use a truck engine with a locked ECM. When I do my swap I'll use AMW4X4. For about the same price you get an 5.7 SRT engine with a boatload of extras. I'll probably pay extra for the 392 engine.

Nice, but I'll keep my OEM tri-fold tonneau cover because the fancy items such as the "torsion springs" are items to go bad after time and heavy use and have to be replaced down the road. As manufacture's make changes in future designs they often quit stocking such replaceable items. As a person...
When I did a 4.5" AEV lift on a JKUR I spoke to AEV and was able to swap the Bilstein 5100 series for higher end Bilstein shocks and only pay the difference. The build was done by them at their Wixom Michigan facility and may have played a part in being able to customize my build. Wouldn't hurt...
To ensure you’re getting the correct springs I would just order from my local dealer. Unfortunately, often times used parts sold online are misrepresented and you may get the wrong springs.
