Missing Pentastar engine cover aside, I'm still slightly torqued that my '23 Rubicon got the standard orange instrument gauges with the lower 6k RPM tach from the 2.0T instead of the matching "Redicle" red gauges with the 6.5k tach that every V6 Rubicon got in years prior.

I don't look in my engine bay too often, but that particular little bit of cheap-assery that saved Jeep a whole $3 stares me in the face every single day. Is yours the same?
No, I got what I ordered there. It sounds like the line ran out of your parts and improvised. If you ordered the 8.4 inch navigation system and upgraded sound system, I would contact Jeep about that. Jeep probably doesn’t care. If we don’t try they will just ignore everyone.

That's not fair! You didn't give ME a chance to respond!

Just can’t let it go. I guess you’re another one that has to get the last word in. Why don’t you just say bye.

Youassholes all need to get a life and fuck off.
You don't want me to actually insult you.

You were wrong. Either continue to dance and entertain us like the stupid monkey you are and keep posting your incoherent babel. Or tuck your tail between your legs and head for the hills like a coward. You have proven yourself incapable of any other course of action.

Yeah, I thought about taking it in to complain about the gauges, but do I really want someone at the dealership completely tearing apart my dash? These places have enough trouble not fucking up a simple oil change, so I'd likely end up with shit disconnected and annoying rattles I never had before. I've taken apart several dashboards myself, but doubt it's something dealerships do very often.

I'd likely spend the next decade trying to wipe off a dirty fingerprint they'd leave on the inside of the clear gauge covers. Pick your poison I guess ?

I'm somewhat understanding about the various parts shortages, but I gladly would've waited another month to take delivery if it was just a temporary thing. Buying and installing an engine cover, while incredibly overpriced, isn't at all difficult, but changing out the gauges is a lot more of a pain in the ass (for myself or the dealership).

And the 8.4" nav with Alpine was standard for all '23 Rubicons, even though it wasn't for years before or after. Guess you win some and you lose some.

Are you still in attack mode for the gang. As far as I’m concerned, you can all shove it.

You need either a girl friend or go forbid a boyfriend. I am not making any accusations against you Let it go!:headbang:
John, did you seriously attempt to shame someone's relationship status and expose your bigotry about sexuality in a single post? Are you just trying to get banned??

Fortunately your original complaints about your free speech being violated turned out to be just another erroneous claim.

My point wasn’t just there was no engine cover, they raised the price $6000 and the started deleting parts. I feel I paid for the cover therefore I should have gotten it. I am not bothering Jeep about the cover, ratbert and his little gang are blowing it out of proportion. Enjoy what you have.

Why are you bringing this to my attention? I already asked ratbert why he didn’t inform me of what the banner meant. I have never seen a banner in the past even when I responded to other peoples posts. Why can’t you guys just leave it alone. It’s not even about what I posted. Let it go. Nobody cares, Jeep, myself and a lot of other people on the forum. It is just a small group of you guys that continue to attack me. Let it go!
Because you somehow seem to think that it's @Ratbert's job to explain the basics of the internet to you. Some of us might find humor in that.

High five?
