Good info shared thus far - only items I can add are looking potentially at other lenders. For example, State Farm has had a bank (though is an extension of US Bank I believe) that has had very competitive rates if you use them as your insuror. I'm blessed to be at an age and financial point...

I don't want to do the math ... though my wife has asked me to do so. Which may be a good thing, since I was able to get $7.5K off of sticker (purchased my JTR on August 31st), she's been sort of expecting that I've spent that savings back to sticker. I don't think I've done that much...

Fair point, though I have to admit I didn't mentally map the ESS battery into "critical path" to the point where OP's situation had him. In Central Texas where I live, it isn't surprising to see OEM batteries dying in 3 years due to the heat. I'm going definitely going to have to put some...

Is yours gas or diesel?

That's gold! I too hate the dealer nameplates that get put on the vehicle w/adhesive seemingly stronger than the regular from the factory badges, etc.

I haven't had my Jeeps serviced by Nyle Maxwell, but have had both a RAM 1500 (done at their Taylor store) and GMC Acadia (done at their Round Rock location), and both service departments were good. Their Taylor location is my favorite (have bought vehicles from Taylor, North Austin and Round...

I'm pretty sure the dealer @WhippetTaxi mentioned is where we got my wife's JLU - since we got it less than 24 hours after it arrived, it "only" had the Lojack (and fee) applied to it, not any of the other stuff. In today's market unfortunately there's not a ton of flexibility - it is a...

Thanks for the replies and idea's yall - I'd forgotten about Diatomaceous Earth, we'd used it years ago to "proactively" treat a bunch of (unwashed) clothing that my daughter brought back after a missions trip to Africa, in case she accidentally imported a critter. We've got a bag of it...

Here in Central Texas we've got a smorgasbord of insects, but I'm having the dangdest time dealing with crazy ants. They don't seem to have rhyme or reason to them, but they do appear to like both my new JT as well as the Mrs' JLU, finding them inside, outside, every which side. We don't have...

This, for sure. Both my wife's JLU and my JT came with tires way overinflated. The driving characteristics are "squirrelly" with overinflated tires. You'll enjoy the trip much more starting out with appropriate tire pressure levels. Edit:. Also, with an 11 hour trip, at that first Walmart...

Cool to see you finally get it! Now - you'll demonstrate even MORE patience if you do before/after pics for every one of the mods you've been accumulating! :) (No way on earth I'd have that level of patience - ha!)

Dang - that is AWESOME, thanks for the link! They might be long enough to do that - will have to do some measuring, hopefully can make it work or something similar. Thanks again!

Working solo on these upgrades today, if it were any heavier I wouldn't have been able to get it done. Got rid of the plastic bumper and installed the Fishbone mid-width bumper Rugged Ridge Trekker s10 Liked the retro look of and $29 price of the Harbor Freight off road truck lights ?. Will...

I've only had my Hotheads installed for a few days, but definitely made a difference right away. Long road trips with loud background noise can be exhausting. I once made a 4 hour drive with a canvas top TJ, was totally worn out by the end with the soft top flapping. The Gladiator thankfully...

Yeah, magical money showing up always just as quickly disappears for most folks, unless you're Brian Bosworth at Oklahoma in the 80's - who never could get his checking account to go below $2K. :CWL:

Mine was at 41, dialed back to 37 and made a difference. It's a Jeep Factory Thing ™ evidently - my wife's JLU was received off of the factory truck and we took delivery pretty much as fast as possible. Driving home it was all the freaking over the place - checked pressure and it was 43. No...

I haven't had a long enough drive in my Gladiator to truly gauge how well the seats will work for me, but have gone through this dance in almost all of the vehicles I've owned. Seating comfort is very, very personal - what one person finds good another will find terrible. Raising the front of...

Tomorrow I'm three weeks in on my JTR - agree with your review and assessment. I installed the Hot Heads w/Sound Assassin today. It made a tremendous difference in cabin sound, you won't regret it.

Kind of funny how we can wrap up a lot of previous experiences with music. I'm recycling open air playlists from my now sold Miata in the Gladiator, and enjoying quite a bit, though I'm filtering out some of the more ... aggressive driving songs, the JT ain't a sports car, and some songs just...

Thanks for posting this ... am in the midst of doing a bunch of initial mods on my new JTR, and was literally just looking at light cubes for the bumper about to order. I'm really glad that the normal sources are all "temporarily out of stock" for the light cubes with wiring harnesses...
