Oh i agree. I am doing all my research to see if I want to get rid of my 2011 Tacoma in order to get a JT. Little things like this are making me question the idea. I understand manufacturing defects and statistics, but if the dealer has replaced 2-3 boxes already and the problem isn't fixed...

Is this the same issue as what this OP describes in this thread?? https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/loose-steering-fixed.21823/ If I had gone to the dealer for 3 or 4 box replacements, I would try this method instead.

If you can wait, I would. I think in the next couple of months they will want to give these things away (any vehicle for that matter). I think we are far from the peak of the pandemic in the US. Give it a month, you might get it for $40K.

At this point, I want to sell my long travel 2011 TRD tacoma. I have spent alot of time and effort adventuring and modding it over the past 10 years. So I want to sell it first and hopefully put down $25-30k. I would most likely get something off a dealer lot. I thought about ordering, but I...

I am debating a rubicon vs. max tow and I think I will get more 'truck' for the price of a max tow. I would plan on adding a 2-3" lift and air lockers to a max tow, full belly skids, etc. I think if you plan on modding it, going cheaper initially will be better suited from a $/ interest over...

I was also looking at getting a rubicon, but even with dealer discounts, I think the Sport S with max tow package will be better for me. Couple of things that are steering me away from the rubicon: - $$ when I would be changing a lot of things (Lift, sliders, full belly skids from Artec). No...

If you don't mind me asking, what did you get the Rubicon for? What is the configuration of it. I am on the fence between getting the sport S with Max tow and then adding Air lockers down the road when I re-gear it (I already have an ARB dual compressor). Or getting a stripped down rubicon. A...

Can that Jscan be used to enable the Aux switches if they were installed after the fact? Been doing my research before purchasing a JT. I have come across that the dealer will have to flash the display? What about disable the auto sway bar connect if going over 17mph in 4hi? I saw that the...

I definitely want to get an electric vehicle someday, but currently the infrastructure does not support it and the technology isn't there. If there was a fast charging station on every corner and charging rates could be similar to filling up a tank of gas, I would go buy one today. I think auto...

I would say, wait till the fall for the deals. I am sure you could get $15k off a JT Rubi. That is my plan at least... I am having trouble selling my taco in these times. I have two potential interested parties but they each are trying to sell there rigs as well. Looking at some dealers in...

If I had enough room, I would keep the taco. But do I really need two trucks? I know different builds, but lately I am trying to scale down the amount of 'stuff' around the house. If I kept the taco, I might have to buy a trickle charger because it would probably just sit. Assuming someone buys...

Definitely agree. If it comes out for the JT, I will look at it but will also do more research on longevity. I don't think these eco diesels will go 300,000mi. I tend to keep vehicles a long time so engine reliability is the main concern (if it can go + 200,000 I am happy). Also, Turbos are a...

I would think long and hard on buying that ecodiesel. From the research I have done, the specs aren't that much of an increase over the petrol. Maintenance cost's for that diesel are going to be $$. Also, what is the ecodiesel cost? What trim levels will it be placed in. Is the extra cost...

Luckily my tacoma is not in need of replacement. The decision to get a JT is purely based on the fact that it will be more suited to my families lifestyle now and over the next couple of years. If it wasn't for the JT coming out, I wouldn't be selling my highly modded money pit.

Once I sell my 2010 Taco, I will be looking for one. But, I feel like it will be hard to sell my taco in these times. I am however looking for deals in the fall after all this (hopefully) passes. I could however see the private sales increase if dealers are shut down. Just a theory though...

Yep, been running the 255/85/16's for years. I found that the Toyo's wear the best for a mud terrain. BFG KM2's are way too soft to be using on the HWY. I also hate the look of super wide tires/ wheel offsets (Drives me nuts). I see plenty of wranglers around my house that have crazy wheel...

Hope the end is true. I am looking to sell my 2011 Long Travel Taco in a couple months to fund the JT purchase. Hopefully I can get my full asking price if dealerships are shut down!

After the past three weeks of research, I can definitely agree. I wheeled my stock tacoma for years before going long travel. Although capable, it was limiting. The main limiting factor stock was the ground clearance especially under the front skid. Now, it still is ground clearance. I am only...

Although I hate to see the world shut down over this pandemic, I am looking to get a JT later in the year when things start to recover. I am hoping I can pick up a Gobi Rubicon at a significantly discounted price due to it sitting on the lot.

Good info. I do more slow stuff these days vs 7 years ago when I lived in Socal with tons of open desert. The truck has been good to me and has never left me stranded so it is definitely a hard decision. I found a youtube video of some guys wheelin a stock rubicon JT on a most difficult trail...
