Nice truck. That is a heck of a price jump though from a Sport S Max Tow to a Mojave.
Luckily they didn't have the Mojave when I bought mine. I couldn't afford it but dang it would have made me think long and hard. But then not going that high on the initial truck price allowed me to change a lot of things.
Enjoy the truck looks great and now get ready to empty your pockets, bank account, etc (LOL). Best advice stay off the forums and internet so as to not see all the nice goodies folks keep putting on

Just need those bronze wheels to complete the look but for now I dont mind the stock 33s at all!
One step at a time. I have seen the bronze. It is cool and it pops. Been sweet to get all the badges plastidipped to match.

That price jump kept going up, but I "justified" it by the cost of the Willys hahah Over here, the Willys was gonna go about $46k. This truck was incorrectly priced as a Manual Sport S, so when I went over the estimated blue book plus price tags of comparable used JTs with more mileage, it was a hell of a deal! But i'm with you, its gonna be time to try and penny squeeze, if not. Hell time to just get sandwiches and ramen soups hahaha All in all, thank you!

Congratulations and enjoy the new rider!
Thank you, definitely enjoying it! 3 days and just close to 600 miles (will take into consideration the 3 hour drive back hahah).

I did that with my old sportster. That Harley was a lot of fun to customize, so I can only imagine now with a Jeep. I honestly love the orange accents of the Mojave to the Sarge Green. There's not a lot I'd change to be fair. Black wheels look great as is right now so yea, little by little, no rush at all. Did buy the all weather mats though, unfortunately came with the regular carpet liners.

Yep there is always Bologna and Ramen. Well you probably got some nice features in the Mojave that if you would have gone Sport S or Willies you may have had to pay for down the road. Any version you got you would have enjoyed. Friend of mine just got a Willies Diesel but it was not a JT but still it was a very nice jeep he got. I had thought preowned when I was looking to buy cause normally I always buy preowned for my trucks. Have been able to get a lot more for the money and for the most part have not had any issues. But they were almost non existant when I purchased. Luckily it was full blown Covid and no one was buying the JT so the dealers were willing to work a little at that time.

Yea, on my end I wanted something more of an off read capable JT off the lot. What I liked about the Willys was standard LSD and not option, lots of dealerships here unfortunately didnt add it. I know it came with Max Tow so that was another thing I looked for. I had also already made my mind with not needing the 4.10s, all looked like I was gonna get a Willys. In no scenario was I even thinking i'd get a locker because of the price jumps to Mojave or Rubicon. So imagine how excited I was when i realized I would get all Willys add ons and then some! I'm very happy with this purchase, and to think, all happened by accident when I clicked on Used as opposed to New on cargurus hahaha

I really appreciate it, man! Definitely a great find! Things happen for a reason I tend to think!
I'm currently selling those for low to mid 50's at auction!

the mileage was the part I didn't believe hahah I figured there would be something but no, all really well. Rubicons and Mojaves with 20k+ miles going for like 50s-55s around my area.
