was that your trade in?
It is listed for about 5k more than I got but I would bet they spent at least 1500.00 to get it ready to sell with a warranty. It needed brakes and a 60k just for starters, nevermind driveline fluid changes frt and rear.

I have a suggestion. Everyone is spending a lot of clams on Jeep parts; so my suggestion is invest in a GoPro. They are extremely easy to use (very user-friendly), a LOT of fun, they're water proof, you can damn near run over them and they keep going and they won't break the bank! The photos and videos everyone can easily get will be amazing. You can clip them to just about anywhere on the Jeep (even use it as a dash cam). So there you are! That's my fun little suggestion! :camera: (Oh, did I say they are a LOT of fun!!! :giggle:)
I took this shot this morning as I rolled past mine.

Thanks for the gopro suggestion but I meant with a diy spray bomb bed liner. Lol. I used duplicolor truck liner on my last pair of sliders and it worked good but that was a few years ago

and just because its listed doesnt mean they are getting that. Also trading in saves you the tax, With my trade in my jeep cash cost was only 4600.00 so taxes were only 300.00 . If i had to pay full tax would have been 2400.00

Yes wait till Sat. Relax a bit as Sat. will be here in a bank of your eye. Why rush at
this time let dealer do a correct Prep. You wait too long sooooo Do not pay that
increase price no one here has yet. Be nice but firm you have a contract price.
Also: make sure Air Press. is correct with gauge as TPMS will need 20 miles to
calibrate itself---Is Owners Manaul there---and Rubicon comes with loc lug on
spare. It's included on build sheet. Most likely they will do all wheels as my
dealer did. They don't want to break up a set of 5. I hope this all will help you
as it is what is due to you.
Last make them order a Owners Manaul and DO NOT say any thing about the
fact you can get one by calling 877#---866#. I got 2 this way. GOOD LUCK.

:like: ;) :fingerscrossed: :sun:
Thanks Clif!

Morning my 2-door brothers and sisters!

Time for me to head on in to work and be part of the magic that is video games. And by magic I mean meetings, spreadsheets, and email.

Think my music theme today will be Punk and Thrash.

And of course yadda yadda where’s my Jeep yadda yadda yadda.

Absolutely, I am ok with what I got and what I paid for my JL. I was a flatrate tech for years and the sales dept was like any other customer, they got a small discount but they still paid for the work to come thru the shop. Anyone buying that JKU will be looking to knock some of the price off, I would bet they make less than 800, all said and done.

The fix that I did about a month ago has kept me rattle free so far..

I popped the covers a bit, so I could get my fingers in there to work and so I could take a pic to show others here.

Anyway, behind the cover you will see/find two black sponge rubber affairs. They have adhesive on each side. The side that was to adhere to the removable plastic piece did not hold/let go of the plastic cover and thus the rattle.

Anyway, I took two strips of Command Strips and placed on right on top of the black sponge rubber affairs. I also had stuffed a sheet of paper towel in the lower part of the plastic cover below the low black spongy thing. Then I just pressed the plastic cover down firmly and held it real tight for a minute and that was it. The Command strips grabbed firmly and held and continue to hold.

See pic below... plastic cover pulled away a bit ...of the 2 little black spongy things:

How difficult was it to pop the covers? I'm gonna make an attempt at it this weekend.

I miss my girl :brokenhearted: She’s been in the nursery for 5 days now while she’s topless. I’ve been driving her every day, but not having her parked where I can see her all the time is rough!!!
what is she doing there
