Agreed… that could be a negotiating point like I would have any leverage. I would ask for a discount to swap those out. :LOL:
Still not perfect- it’s just “Federal Compliant” phew :whew: :CWL:

I stumbled onto this website and went into sticker shock. Just the Jeeps that they have listed up for sale is pretty interesting
So I'm thinking a Hellephant into a Wrangler, how much would it cost? A lot along with the labor to install.
My thought process is why? and why not? If you have the money and want to be top dog with bragging rites it`s going to cost you
Then I looked at the amount of Jeeps they have sold and it is a long list of every combination that you could think of!

This is one that I would consider if I won the lottery, favorite color and maybe even bomb proof??

Proving, once again, that there’s one born every minute. $200,000 for a jeep seems nuts.

On the other hand, you can easily drop $60,000 racing a lawn tractor. I’m not kidding. And you don’t have to be drunk to do it!

Racing lawn mowers?!

The stock Razors we see in the dunes now start in the mid-forties... Lots of guys have twice that or more in their modified Razors, and those are just beach toys..

Heck, I just bought a new diesel pickup that had a Monroney sticker of almost $107,000, and it will easily eat another $30,000 in accessories without touching the motor, transmission, or suspension. That’s much more expensive than my first house.

I remember .99 cent value meals at McDonalds when my kids were little — for a burger, fries, and small drink. The other day I missed lunch and decided to pull into Wendy’s for the first time in years. I ordered a chicken sandwich meal with iced tea. I didn’t think to check the price before ordering … I gave the kid at the window a $10 bill, but his hand remained outstretched. As it turns out, that’s now just over $12. I’m not kidding.

In a world of $12 fast food meals, $60,000 lawn tractors, and $100,000+ pickup trucks, $200,000 for a performance jeep almost make sense.

Well- I’ll consider listening- Ca resident old gear head cannot get a cam, headers, etc, and appropriate tune that is sorely missed. :swear:
would be depressing 😢
It is like music to my ears! My wife does not understand why watching that clip always makes me smile and brings back memories

I agree with you!
My issue is that a brand new Jeep is nowhere near in parts and quality that they are charging us for.
Now I understand why so many are buying one that is a few years old with low miles and starting with a blank canvas. Getting the best parts available and not having to get them in a "Package" like the LED Light package, really in this day and age you can`t put LED`S in from the factory.
Even though it`s not apples to apples, a loaded up 392XR is over $100k and is lacking in all departments, but if you add another $8-10k for a Grand wagoneer you get a McIntosh stereo and a owners manual that must be 3 inches thick lol
Again not apples to apples but the profit margin on a Wrangler must be insanely high
