I get it .. if you constantly wheel and all the sudden are trying to go more extreme.. but just to start with that...

I don't understand off roading a 50k vehicle, period. I think I would rather have a dedicated cheaper off roader that is ok to be flipped etc to not deal with having 1000s of body damage on a brand new vehicle.
:notwrong:

im just sharing things that I have in my area for 2 dr JLs... market is real limited.

For the record, I would not be going "hardcore" wheeling. But I have found the limits of a stock non Rubicon. Hence, if I went Jeep route again, it would be a Rubi.

I would wait for leftover 19s, or just special order with a FF discunt through our fellow FCA hookup. I think that's the best way to go... it would be extremely hard to find one that you like, or you'll have to buy a bunch of useless shit with it.

Oh it's got a winch and whatnot. Interesting.

What an odd spec...
Soft top... base base... does it have AC? oh it does... wow... odd spec. Why don't you just fly to cali and get one here... seems like an easy enough thing to do.

In cali, $28k for various 2018/2019 seems pretty standard.

We had a few for 25. 4 doors at 27/28 are doable.

The weird part about 4 vs 2 door at the base level is AC a $1500 option which is standard on the 4 so they are essentially the same price

2008. 100k+ miles. Rubi JKU. $20k.
JK-Rs don't dip below 20k, that's the price floor. :fullretard: and that 3.8 blows up and the 4 speed is anemic.

All things I know. After having a JK, Im intrigued at all the JL pluses.

But I really like my :gorf: and have a paid for poverty :truk: with a new trans and new :225:

Makes the :jeep: case a real dumb thing to discuss. But I still want one. A note on a true toy is just dumb.

PRICED TOO LOW TO SHOW :yeahok:

I see your point on the price points on 2 dr vs 4 dr. My problem is I want the short jeep for parking at my house/carport and on trials.

My old jeep is still romping around. He completely butchered the front end. I asked him if I could buy it back. I regret selling. Image

No way in hell would I put any forced induction on a Pentastar. With 11:1 compression, there's just no room for more. It's not a matter of if it blows up, but when.
