Jeep's response to Silver VS gold tailgate Plates

[ValkyrieFalling]

considering my dealer tried to sell this out from under us, also did no wash or make ready, because they said their staff couldn't be trusted to not scratch it. They said they would bring the plate in for me but it would be up to me to drill the old one out and install the new one.

Was this the Columbia Jeep dealership? I

So, the water fording depth is unchanged even with bigger tires?

I'm not seriously taking these tags as a guide to safe fording depth. I see that tag as a bit of fun nostalgia. I'm not that interested in submerging all the gear cases, wheel speed sensors without a good look at gear case vent heights, sensor wiring connections, etc.

Precisely, how many of the early production ones got the wrong ones? At what cost per plate? Most likely well under 10k . I know I wouldn’t be happy if I got the wrong one! At 78k it’s not to much to expect the right $5 or so plate!

I’d feel like I had a fake 392! Glad both of mine have gold plates.

lol, sorry to hear that. This is ironic as hell, especially in the face of Ford doing everything they can to make Bronco owners happy.

XD

So is Chrysler's customer service REALLY telling people to "just buy the new plate"? XD

I can't help it. HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Fucking Chrysler. That's just like them to do that.

The more rare a classic car is the more it’s worth. Wouldn’t it be ironic if the few with the wrong plate end up being worth more?

Of course! We are the first world. Therefore, we have first world problems. What we don‘t have enough of are first world solutions to those first world problems. Hence, this thread.

certainly precedence for that.

The inverted Jenny came to mind, miss stamped coins too. If my father would co-sign the $3,995 loan for the Cobra that was on the used car lot of John Drew Dodge in 1973 we know what it is worth today! When the number goes down the price goes up.

They have a Jenny, framed with other rare stamps, hanging in the Treasury building in DC. Did a double take when I saw it.

I looked. It wasn't there.

Are the xr's getting a new plate, or are their owners going to be crying about having "incorrect information"? Lifted your jeep...incorrect information. Changed tires...incorrect information. The bronze/gold placard was something they added after the initial run. You may not like the response, but they don't owe you anything. You bought yours before the new placard existed. I'm pretty sure with the range of ride heights posted by multiple users, some Sahara sitting higher than rubicons, Some rubicons sitting at average sport heights etc. that the vast majority of JL's out there have "inaccurate information" on their placards. Removing the top and doors will result in a significant change in ride height, there goes the accurate information.
