I finally went to the dealer, found a nice white Rubicon fully loaded, took a test drive and that was it. Went back and bought it the next day for below MSRP a little. It's a great JTR and I'll leave it stock for a while till I decide what I really want to do. Got to remove the 60% portion of...
So I get a loan for 2% and leave money in the bank earning almost nothing getting beat by inflation at 5+%. Might as well just write one check and be done with it.
Found my perfect one on a lot, MSRP 64K and I get it for 62K. Credit union loan at 2% for 54 months and the dealer said he can do that out to 60 months. We'll see what happens. It's so much better than my modded JKUR it's another world. This one I'll leave stock and just wax it.
We should all have ACC. How can we be expected to think about what we are doing and keep our head out of our dark spot. Driver fatigue,,,LOL. Poor baby. I pull my 31 ft TT with my Ram diesel from McCall id to Bishop (660 miles)in a day in the summer. I suck it up and be a man. It's a Jeep, not a...
I want to get one for overlanding but just me and dog so a 35 or even a 25 woud work. So far looking at Dometic but ICECO is close. Won't spend over 800.
I just hope the ACC gives the driver behind it enough time to react and avoid a crash. I seldom use CC as i know how to let off the gas and slow down. Wait till all these auto cars are 10+ years old and the electronics are dying. Perfectly good cars will be scraped due to electronics and smog...
calif taxes are high but there are many states that have high taxes and reg. Calif is south of 2 of the worst. If ya don't like calif, move to Portland or Seattle.
Lifting and ride quality can be a real pain. Stiffer springs and shocks along with more CA angle can transmit much of the bump into the frame and make for a stiff ride. Added weight for overland travel vs empty for home use, good luck. If you are going to go from 500-700 loaded to zero it's...
I am single, no kids, just a big dog. I have a '14 Ram 2500 diesel loaded and a '14 JKUR totally modded out, Leather and everything inside, 4 inch OME springs, all Alpine arms, Adams front driveshaft, Rocksport shocks, Adj track bars front and rear, heavy bumpers and winch, Method rims and...
My 14 JKUR is worth about $35K I am told. A new JT would be about $70-75K when done and get about the same MPG. Really not sure it's worth $40K to do it. I got the issues on my JKUR all worked out and there are some new ones with the JT. Good to have that money in the bank for now. If there was...
Thanks for the positive vibes. I figure it's basically a JLU with a bed. Some differences in the axles, heavier. I pretty much know how I want it:
White
Rubicon
Leather & LEDs
Painted roof and fenders
Remote start and keyless entry would be nice.
I'll do my own bumpers and a small...
