Now that everyone has had a chance to see the MOPAR catalog, what are the general thoughts and opinions?
Mine are that its either a good deal or too expensive with not much between those two options.
Like the tail gate reinforcement for $625 is a joke, aftermarket will do so much better, heck you might even find an entire bumper/swing away combo for that kind of price. The warn winches are $878 for a steel line winch, and $1595 for a synthetic, also a joke considering you can go pluck a 10,000 Smittybilt comp series for $380. I know some people will laugh and say that you cant compare a Smitty to a Warn when you look at quality, but mine has never broken on me and its been through a lot....even pulling out a deuce-deuce. The MOPAR round LED off road lights are around $100 per inch...no thanks.
Then there are other items that do not seem all that bad, like the 2" MOPAR lift for $1495. Nobody knows yet if that is good or bad and it really depends on who makes the kit (doubt that Jeep themselves make it, probably a joint effort with some other manufacturer).
For the most part the MOPAR catalog seems to be way to high priced for what you get. Anyone else think I am looking at this the wrong way or agree? Just curious.
