Try givemethevin.com they offered me the most when I was looking out of curiosity a couple weeks ago. They will also work with dealers to let you use their offer as the trade allowance to help you with the sales tax and then they buy it from the dL dealer for that price so it helps you and the dealer.
IMO, the gearing was the reason I went for the XR. IMO, doubt a dealer would be able to honor warranty regearing an axle if something went wrong. That $ amount would likely have to go through regional.Imho -
- the Mopar spare enforcement on the XR isnāt the carrier you want. Better options out there. No contest. The Mopar carrier does nothing for the hinges, for one.
- the XR tires and wheels would not be my pick. Sure They look fine, but quality choices abound. They are heavy. Unless you go very hard, real bead-locks arenāt necessary, or legal in most (all?) states for hwy.
- your dealership will regear you under warranty. So I am told.
- XR may have less desirable shocks (not fox), I donāt think itās clear yet.
Imho youāre much better off adding 35s and wheels you want, spare carrier, and then consider if regearing is needed / wanted.
biased opinion bc this is what I did, but it doesnāt make me wrong.I wonāt regear until/unless 37s.
Iād hate to be without mine and waiting another 6 months on order, and hoping for no issues with the next one.
Only a couple states (canāt remember which ones off the top of my head) actual have any law written about beadlocks being illegal. Most have nothing. Which means itās a gray area. Not specifically said to be illegal Or legal. So only real issue would be if the beadlock ring failed while driving and you wrecked into another vehicle their lawyer might use that against you in a lawsuit. Doesnāt mean they would win but theyād try it. Proper maintenance and torque checks would help prevent that unlikely scenario.Imho -

good point on legality of beadlocks for hwy use being a murky issue, not clearly legal / illegal.
thatās the gray area lol. The gears will have their warranty and the dealer is warranting their labor. The issue is if you have lockers. The dealer will either risk eating the cost or having to lie to Mopar. Especially dicey sinceno one can get just a locker or position sensor so Mopar has to replace the whole axle if there is an issue.
Yeah, I just contacted them about mine.
What was your MSRP?
They offered me $53 for my JLU Rubi with the 2.0t. I said no and they asked what I wanted and for more details. I said Iād take $57 and leave the Metalcloak lift on. They sent me an email the next day offering $56,700. I almost did it. I paid $49 in June. Lol. But Iād only have ordered the same Jeep but with the premium soft top instead of the cheap plastic soft top. Maybe add the half doors lol.
