Thank you, no my daughter, 12 yrs old, ducked it upon arrival.Black looks amazing with those Rubi wheels. Congrats.Curious: did Carvana deliver the Jeep with a duck in it? It looks like a duck on the dash.

people will say, I don't like it, It's uncomfortable, It's too loud inside, There is no room. Us jeep owners say, If you don't like it find someone else to drive you around HAHAHAHA.
Or put a loud a$$ muffler on it and you won't be able to gear all the NAY sayers

The first thing i did was Rhino lined the bed on mine. Best thing we ever did.

I remember seeing a photo of someone who did red bedliner in a Sting Gray Rubicon - a red that almost perfectly matched the Rubicon red accents. It looked fantastic, made me wish mine didn't come with the factory black bedliner just so I could do it in red.

i thought about color matching my snazzberry but in teh end opted for black. It has a lifetime warranty and we opted for protection coating but it did not last. You can see the sun fade when i pull back my bed mat. Nice and shiney under old and bithcy on teh exposed areas. Oh well. If i had time i'd take it back to a touch up but otherwise i am very happy with it. Cost us about $750.
We chose Rhino because their brand is a bit more rubberized and offers a bit more flex to work with the metal body parts. Linex is harder and more for highly abusive use. I am sure they are all very comparable. I looked at all i could.
My needs and budget we chose Rhino. No regrets

Yep, that’s is one of two things I have planned immediately. The other is the cover king headliner.

Thank you for the input. I’ll look into both and decide what works best for me.

I have heard many stories from people who love to sell to Carvana as they usually give you a pretty good deal, but be wary of buying from them, as they don't do much in terms of mechanical inspections and doing nothing more than detailing them before selling them.
That said, one of my daughters bought a vehicle from them and had no problems, my other daughter sold her Camero to them and received a good price, and completed the transaction in about 45 minutes from start to finish at one of their lots.
YMMV

Yeah, I have heard that too. But they offer the Jeep Gladiator as a brand new vehicle. I bought mine brand new with discounts over $13,000 off MSRP. I got $11,000 off with dealership and manufacture discounts and $3000 off taxes and an extra $1000 off for my trade-in! The dealership near me couldn’t match my trade or the discounts off MSRP. It was insane. I never had a dealership call me and say “yeah, we can’t come close to what Carvana was offering me.” It was too good a deal to pass up. The MSPR was $60k on this truck with the options.

I took my Mini Cooper to Carmax for a buy offer. They are not a good place to do business with and i would never buy a car form them (i know this was a carvana purchase)
1. they told me teh mini cooper transmission was slipping into second gear. It never felt that way to me.
2. the vehicle came up on an impound report meaning it was in a government storage or impounded and the report is not available to the public.
Just a super shady outfit. I don't trust them.

Not trying to be argumentative but what exactly makes them shady?
I assume by the impound report being of news to you that the vehicle was used when you bought it?

I was told the impound/storage report would not show on a carfax because it was a government impound/storage yard and i wouldn't be able. the title was clean and the car had zero issues and i had inspection sheets form BMW/Mini that did not support any claim Camax had. For all i know teh car belonged to someone in the military that was deployed. The fact that a car was in storage or impound should not diminish a vehicle value the way they were claiming to did. anyways, they offered me $550 based on their claims and i sold it outright private for $2600. It was just way more shady than i expected since i had all the information i could personally find find on the vehicle and even paid for private inspections prior to listing the vehicle for sale. It did not need any of the work they said it needed. Not mad, just think its was over the top in terms of a dealer buyout value since it was a turnkey vehicle in fair/good resale shape.
