Do I spy a metalcloak driveshaft? AND a AUX tank? I'd say you hit a gold mine if you didn't pay out the nose for this thing.
Good eye! I paid $45k…2022 Rubicon with 18k miles and almost every option. Plus the upgrades…I’ll try to tally up all the research from this forum. All in all, I think I made out well?

Made out well? Dude, you bent the dealership over a barrel. I looked into aux tanks and those are spendy. You've easily got $20K in add-ons here. Even more if you had paid for install.

I honestly didn't know what I was getting...I was desperate and needed a vehicle now. I am picky and wanted a Gobi colored Mojave/Rubicon this time around (I had a Sting Gray Mojave several years ago). I found this one in Louisiana (shipped to MA) and did a virtual view and test drive with the sales team. I was a little apprehensive with the lift & tires, but it appears this truck was not wheeled (not one blemish). I am more of a 35" tire guy, and thought the 37s looked too big for me (I'm getting used to it!). It seems as if the previous owner didn't skimp out on the upgrades and after discussions here, I feel I scored a good deal. I don't think the dealer knew what they had either, as it was just a lease being turned back in.

Wow nice find. Really looks like the previous owner modded it up right…MC brackets, extended brake lines, all control arms, etc.

Goodness you got all that for $45k and just 18k miles. Good stuff.

Talk about lucking out. The guy who turned this in because of the lease took a beating. His loss, your gain.

That rear track bar nut NEEDS tighten up.

Nice score! Looks like the Jam nut on the rear track bar is lose, might want to check that.
Another good eye! Thanks for that…all tightened up. But, as I was doing that, I found the one blemish on the other side.

So, I see you are from Mass also. In the past week or so were you accosted by an idiot in a Fiat 500 Abarth? He would have been giving you the one finger salute...... If so, I apologize for him! That is my best friend and he thought you were me lmao!

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned but it looks like those fog lights are mounted incorrectly. Looks like your beam pattern is like this / \ instead of this — —
