I don't know why I read the entire 3rd brake light thread. Let's talk about more important things like.... will 40's fit without a lift as long as I don't drive over any bumps or make left/right turns? This question is definitely more important. LOL
Manual all the way. I learned to drive on my friend's $400 manual VW beetle (with no driver side floor pan). First 2 trucks were manual. First 2 jeeps were manual. 3 Motorcycles were manual. 2 ATV's were manual. Current (3rd) jeep is manual. Last vehicle I will ever need - manual JT. I'm...
I'm just being realistic on the price, but true, I hope the FCA dudes don't read this stuff.... we are all broke, cause we own jeeps already. lol. But 50k++ for a loaded JLUR so the truck (fully loaded rubicon) will have to be more, especially since its more metal, has fox shocks and more...
For me, just click on every option, except the auto trans, engine block heater, the 2 safety groups, and the hard top. I'm all set! Take my money! 60k??
It would be cool if they came up with a rear winch option in place of the under bed spare, since 37's won't fit there anyway. Have the fairlead mount where the license plate is and the license plate fold down or something. Jeep Crew Chief 715 Concept. It would be overkill for me and most...
When I had my TJ Rubicon, I found a thread somewhere that explained how to lock your diffs, front and rear, while in 4H. All that it involved was tricking the system to think it was in 4L (grounding one of the wires). I just popped the axle lock switch out and connected 2 of the wires to an...
Ecuador? If you go there is a company that will rent you a JK sport to cruise the mountains in, as well as, motorcycles. Ecuador Freedom Bike Rental. I haven't used them as I have a jeep down there already, but I hear they are top notch, full service.
Yup, looks like it flips open and rests just above the rear passengers head. Still have to see what happens with the rear window. Either way, I'm sold on the soft top.
I hope Decked will make bed drawers for the JT. 200lbs each drawer and a 2000 lbs deck capacity for F-150's at $995 from what I saw on their site. That with an overland rack and other items strapped to the deck would be perfect for me...
For most of us on the forum, we are just going to call it the JT. Everyone who has been waiting for this thing won't care about the official name. There was a funny video about this posted in another thread.
After seeing that factory rear bumper, I'll definitely take the factory option - I like it. Then add the mopar winch mount and grill guard. If it ever gets damaged then I could go aftermarket. I really like the look of the color matching hard top, just not sure I want to pay the price for...
Maybe, but are there going to be 100,00 used Hemi Brutes laying around next year and another 100,000 the year after and so on? I'm guessing the Rubicon trim without selecting any extra options will start at 50k and easily reach 60k with a few clicks of the mouse.
Rubicon, manual trans (so I guess that leaves me with the 3.6 engine), trailer tow group, alpine (possibly with NAV for $300 more), sunrider top only, floormats, either the steel bumpers or possibly AEV bumpers later. I'm undecided on the cold weather group. When I lived in Jersey, I just...
I will! I'm not too concerned about fuel mileage. My CJ only gets 9 mpg (though that is due to my crappy carb.) and my previous Rubicon was right at 14 mpg. I'll be looking at 45 miles roundtrip each day. I would like to get the diesel, but (probably) not being a manual trans option is a...
Rubicon. Daily Driver (eventually on 35's or 37's), trail running and mud (but nothing major as I won't have money leftover to repair trail damage) and family camping. I wonder if 3 car seats will fit in the back seat? If not, I'll have to find a TJ back seat and bolt it into the bed for the...
