Thank you everyone for the comments! Based on the feedback from this forum, I have decided to go with a lighter version then initially planned. The Geo Pro is at 3,400 pounds dry + 1,000 cargo. Will be picking it up in Utah next week and driving it back home to Phoenix.
I'm thinking of buying a trailer RV. I am currently looking at Rockwood 2509s (5,400 pounds dry, 7,000 gross) or Jayco (4,700 pounds dry, 5,700 gross). Plan is to tow the trailer on weekends and extended trips to Utah, Cali etc.. I live in Phoenix, AZ and will be traversing high elevation...
All good! I should've been more clear in the beginning. I did learn a few mistakes alone the way though:
1. Going with a spacer kit and then ripping it out. Should've gone with a full EVO lift kit from day one.
2. Adding spacers to the tires instead of buying rims with -18mm offset. What a...
LOL, this thread was suppose to be about the dealership warranty not about how much I spent :) But since you called me out, below is the spreadsheet with all the upgrades: currently at $40,150.97. Would've easily been 60K if I didn't do most of the work myself.
Yes, but major issues like overheating should not have been impacting warranty because of a custom bumper. Also, I wish I had a mod to keep the outside temps below 90 in Arizona for the aux battery to work :)
I’ve had my Gladiator for 2 years now and am counting the days warranty runs out, so I won’t have to go to the dealership only to be told nearly EVERY single time that the work is not covered under warranty! Granted, I’ve done about $40K in aftermarket upgrades to the Jeep already so I can see...
That's fair. The company is advertising 8x53 JT tailgate decal that I've ordered on a black background. Instead, they sent me a 4x20 that doesn't look anywhere near what they have listed on the site, see pics. Company was really good answering all my questions before I made the purchase. Soon as...
I just got scammed by YellowBeeDesigns and their fake JT "custom rear decal" product below.

Add above is for vaporware. They just send you a...
Just added two new Adventures for those that want a bit more of a challenge. Both are famous and fun AZ trails:

I just had my Gladiator regeared from 4.10 to 5.13. Everything was well until I took it off the payment to test 4WD. 4WH ran no problem but as soon as I switched to 4WL and drove 5 feet, I immediately got "service 4WD", "service SwayBar Disconnect", "Service Traction control", and a couple of...
