Just happened to be reading this thread and now I know about the aluminum steering box issue. I have not noticed any steering issues BUT.....

My JTR is a 2020 model I bought used via Carvana and it has 34,400+ miles. So I am just under the wire for mileage and unless the former owners bought it in January or February would I still qualify for the upgrade to the steel steering box?

What are the issues with the aluminum one so I can know what to complain about....ha ha!

i sh!t you not... i know a guy on instagram that went from jlur to trx to raptor to trx to mojave to raptor ... in like 3 months lol. hes on the wrangler forum cuz he attempted to sell his jlur on there ...lime green one on 4d's
I thought I was bad because I went from a 2017 Titan in early 2018 to a 2018 titan in early 2020, to the JT in May 2022. Shortest time I have ever owned a vehicle was my 2014 Toyota Corolla, which I think made 11 months before I traded it. Same goes for the 2014 Veloster Turbo I got after the corolla, IIRC. Clearly I am not trying to flip through my cars hard enough....

Some of the steering issues were wandering and dead spots. There should be a copy of the TSB here in one of the threads. You can see the steering box by the front wheel. Check the color and test it with a magnet. The steel ones are painted black. You're under the mileage limit, but may be over the time limit. You will have to ask the dealer for the original in-service date and mileage. The door sticker will give the date of manufacter. Sales of the 2020 model started in April 2019.
