Placeholder thread for when we get more details on the JT hybrid. How much will it weigh? What will be the GVWR? Looks like the Sahara 4xe has 1000lbs more GVWR than the gas model, with about 100lbs less payload. Wonder how that works? Saharah 4xe GVWR: 6200lbs compared to 5400ish on gas JLUS...

Will hopefully be getting my Jeep back today. The shop is waiting on...wait for it...a rock rail. Apparently it got scuffed and being a "textured part" it has to be replaced. I said don't bother, I paid $150 for the set, there are 3 more on FB marketplace for $200, and it's a freakin rock rail...

So does this mean I get all the pinstripes on one side removed ?

Because it's fun. And, knowing you can do it. I personally take such puddles slow

Thanks. Insurance company's body shop estimated under $800. My shop estimated $4200 and insurance company agreed.

The secured storage is an option that comes with one of the packages.

It's the mileage that kills the value. Comparing the same 2 vehicles, one with 2 accidents totaling $5k in repairs, and another with no accidents, the sell value is a $2k difference. If I try the same vehicles, even with the reported accidents, but say only 12k miles the value goes way up

Carvana offered me $27k Looking at Cars.com for used JTs with my options, closest I could find is 30k miles for $35k

Depends on mileage. My $46.5k sticker Max Tow is now worth around $30k after 36k miles in 16mo.

An inconvenience for sure. It will be a month total to get it fixed between inspections authorizations and actual repairs. Sliders dont mean much if they dont take the impact, unfortunately. Are there any that pivot up to cover these parts? Something like this but not leaving the pinch seams...

that is one aspect to the problem yes. I am sure that the insurance company has a lot of experience in knowing what is needed and now for certain impacts and how to sift through bs. Mine actually authorized $3900, the bill is expected to be $4200, the $300 discrepancy is what Jeep charges to...

I have the Rubicon rock sliders installed. Unfortunately I was a couple inches short of the vehicle hitting the sliders, and they hit the panel. Or maybe he DID hit the rock rail and it pushed in that part of the panel anyway. There was paint from his front bumper on the panel even after washing...

Yes, both still and seal are in the $700 range (I was told) and need replacing.

It is hard to tell, but that bit is steel and is bent inward. The seal keeping the water out of the cabin has been moved due to the impact and needs replacing. Yes, hard to see. Here is the undamaged driver side I dont know how much of the seal being "damaged" is true. I forded some...

In February I was hit from the side by a 2000s Toyota camery. The driver hit ice in a parking lot and couldnt stop. Oh they didnt have insurance. I didnt notice any damage, but it was dark and during a snowstorm. Initial inspection by my insurance company found a small dent. No biggie. My...

Reminds me of this

If something like this came along for the JT (maybe it has by someone else), would you do it? Thoughts on the claims (in other groups) where these are much stronger than ball joints? I figure if they're so good why dont the big players like Spicer, Synergy, etc offer them...

You have good taste

I run 35s on stock alloy wheels. Aired down to 20-25psi, lots of sidewall bulge on the 3-ply sidewalls to protect the wheel, in my conditions of wheeling

I worry about the rim cracking, but only if I was going long-term in remote, especially places like South America or Africa, yah I would take steel wheels, and 2 spare tires/wheels at that!
