I'm also shocked you stayed stock this long! My 98 sport has had a few sets of everything under it. Transmission and seats are stock and untouched (there's more...but so much was replaced it's not funny). That's part of why I got the rubicon. I knew where I would end up, and the stock axles will handle my 37s. Any other model and I would need a front axle, regear (which I may do even now) and lockers. I'd likely have been an idiot and gone 60s...so it would add up so much more. The JL was purchased so I could drive and wheel. I'd be annoyed if I made it not drive well. For me, the price jump was worth it. It sort of stopped me from going too far in a way.When I went to pick up the '21, 4 salesmen gathered around the TJ while I was inside. The fact that it was still stock (I put 31s on it, but no lift, no rub) amazed them. Of course, when I walked up behind them, I had to ask "what's it gonna take to get you boys into this Jeep today?".
I've seen them going for $20k in Florida. Don't know if they're selling that high, but folks are asking.
I don't think anyone is getting $20k for a TJ...but an LJ I have seen sell there. It's funny if my TJ was stock I could probably get an easy $9k and I paid $19K off the lot when it was new.
