Personally unless I knew it was built professionally, or by someone competent, I'd rather buy it stock, and then have it professionally built. It's hard to know when looking at a random build for sale if it was done well, or if it was done under the shade tree at Fred and Methel's.
I actually wish we could buy a version of the Wrangler / Gladiator that didn't have anything removable. I do like taking the top off a couple of times a year, but I'd give that up to have better sound proofing. It's my only vehicle, so it's what I take when I travel anywhere. 75 on the highways...
All I have to add is to make sure your diff fluid has the correct friction modifiers. I had mine changed at an oil change/mechanic place (a decent one actually), and shortly after they did it, it started grinding. Come to find out the clutch in the back had burned out. Thankfully the dealership...
It's weird that it's so obscured because it actually has really good towing capacities with the tow package and max tow package for trucks in this segment. You'd think that would be an advertising point that they'd show all over the place.
Are you sure that it's coming from under the truck, and not in the cab? I had something similar to what you are describing, and it ended up being the sliding back window being a little loose. Occasionally I have to push it shut just the tiniest amount to secure it. I've noticed it happens more...
I don't have anything else to add other than what people are saying that the Jeep you're looking at most likely has the tow package.
But just for clarification, that sheet you're looking at is the original one that came from when the truck was new right? There isn't a 2 MY old 2024 that's worth...
I sell used construction equipment and work trucks, so I'm not any kind of a Jeep expert on what stuff is worth, but you'd probably get $30k-ish for that from my uneducated guess.
I'd list it at $36k and negotiate from there. Unfortunately add-ons aren't worth anything usually unless it's to...
Popping in to parrot "get a dashcam"
I'm in DFW, and there's no way I'd drive around here without a dashcam. Almost once a week while commuting to work or around town I get in a situation where if something had happened, a dashcam would make sure I wouldn't get any fault.
Make sure to get a trailer brake controller. I hate that they don't include one. I ended up getting the MOPAR one. It took me a few months to get it since it always seems like it's on back order.
I have a '21, and since the day I bought it new, it has been the creakiest, squeakiest vehicle I've ever owned. I don't really notice it unless I'm going around my neighborhood at slow speeds with the windows down thankfully.
I've always been really curious on how they get their data for reliability. I'm not going to pretend like the Jeep brand is as reliable as Toyota, but I wonder how much of the unreliability comes from amateurs wrenching on their vehicles to add this or that aftermarket thing, and then having...
I hate the ASS, but I'm perfectly fine with it existing as long as it remembers the position it was put into. Just let me push it once when I buy the truck, and once each time the batteries are replaced, and I'm good.
Around town isn't too bad, and thankfully where I do most of my driving. The highway is awful though. I've found that the cheapest and best thing is to spend $200 or so on some noise cancelling earbuds. I have some apple ones, and anytime I'm on the highway, I pop them in and throw on a...
I always turn it off when it starts up. I had a different vehicle that I left it on with, and it worked 99.9% of the time just fine. There was one time I had to hit the gas to make a right and get into traffic coming, and it lurched forward and then died. Thankfully I hadn't gotten into the fast...
