Also, if they base it on "list price" I am assuming MSRP, not the purchase price. If that is the case, buying from the "Big 3" American companies puts the screws into the buyer because they tend to inflate the MSRP but then discount it with offers and rebates and holdbacks to the dealers. In my...

If I did my math right (MSRP $60,000 and weight 5,000 lbs.) that comes to 600 + 20 = $620 per year. WOW! Shit, that's a lot for just ONE vehicle! If you have 2 or 3, you are likely well over $1,000. I guess I can't complain here in FL. My wife's birthday and mine are about 3 weeks apart so I...

Reading your comment, does the 2022 JT have anything to do with property value or was that just a separate comment? Are you saying SC has a tax on the value of your vehicles like VA does?

It's ... well ... a "different" kind of beauty in the West, or at least the desert or arid types of areas in the West. East of the Mississippi, as you know, it's much different. Go further East and rain is the norm. Here in South Florida, it's sub-tropical. Rain, rain, rain. Here, about 3pm...

You have a point there but keep in mind the bugs and insects prefer more humidity.

But it's a dry heat. Yea, that's what everybody told me that lives in the West (NV, AZ, etc.). I was in Phoenix several times and once it was, actual heat (not "feels like") 118 degrees. Dry heat? Yea. I live in South Florida, but 118 nearly baked me. I told them, "dry heat, ok, I put my head...

That was actually one thing I was concerned about when buying my Rubicon earlier in the year. Mine is basically loaded with most options that the X has but mine has the black fabric seats. My wife has a BMW with the leather and even though they are a lighter, almond color leather, they are still...

Yea, I know what you mean (I'm in Key Largo). My JTR chills off quickly too, in about a minute it's a noticeable drop in temperature. Air works really well. Mine is also white with the headliner which makes a difference.

I live in Florida too (Key Largo). Now I am starting to get paranoid about all the corrosion issues I am reading about. Salt in the air here, definitely. I'm about 200 ft. from the Ocean. I turn around, cross the highway, and it's about 4 blocks to the Gulf side. So it's salty here no matter...

Good idea. I feel the same way when I'm driving and feel like the seat it too high. I just drive with my pants off.

As a side note, my wife "bought" some stuff from the Wayfair Discount website. Looks just like the regular Wayfair website, logos, fonts, etc. A lot of stuff listed appeared to be discounted like 70-80% plus free shipping. Well, I told her it was a scam but she tried it anyway, "buying" some...

You can't even get the HF Apex 12000 setup for $500. Closer to $800 or more depending on the winch plate you purchase. So while the winch plate may cost about the same, the Warn winch is about 3 times more expensive (think $1,500 to 2,000 or more). That's one reason my JTR has an Apex 12000 on...

Welcome. I am just about your height and I totally agree, another inch or two in the seat rail to slide back would be nice. But, well, it is what it is and now I really don't even think about it. Anyway, looks very nice and hope you enjoy it!

I'm with you on that one. If I tried maybe I would get lucky and end up with something I could stick on a pole, give it a name, and take it downtown to the Art District.

Yes, technically they can't refuse but, wink, wink, they can certainly prioritize who gets what in a timely manner. I think the size of the dealership and competition in the local area plays a big part in it. Within 45 minutes of my home, there has to be no fewer than 10 dealerships I can...

I agree that a significant improvement to the seats (at least for us taller people) is to have the front seats move back another inch or inch and a half. There would still be enough legroom in the rear, at least compared to other midsized trucks. Even my wife's BMW X3 has more front legroom. In...

I guess I'm showing my ignorance of some modern tech stuff, but when I saw that you mentioned air bags in seats, I thought to myself, "Self, when I sit in my seat I already have two air bags (also called butt cheeks) already inflated. I guess the air bags protect other parts???

I have this urge to buy an Eco Diesel now!

If I am doing the math correctly, that is nearly 11k in property taxes, however you break it down. That is quite a few Benjamins every year. Wow, I know that taxes are high in your area (I lived across the river in Cherry Hill in the 80's and paid 4k annually for a 3br 1 1/2 bath split level...

Yes, there is a lot of land where you are and that is what typically drives up prices, or as they say, location, location, location. Where we are here in South Florida, you rarely hear any more the word "acre" used in the same sentence with a house. Here, it is square foot. Our original house in...
