I just bought a 2018 Unlimited Sahara with 103K on the clock. So far so good... aside from the passenger seat makes noise when someone is sitting in it. Is there anything else I should keep a look out for?

Welcome! Good looking Jeep. I'll let the JL owners fill you in on what to watch for. My advise is to drive it a lot before doing any major modifications. You may find that you don't need some things for what you are planning to do. :like:

With that many miles the list of what to look for could be long, it depends on what the previous owner did to it before you got it… It’s hard for us to tell you what to look for since we don’t know what has already been done….. Just drive the crap out of it and have fun, when/if something happens, I’m pretty sure we’ll be able to help you fix it…. You’re gonna be surprised how much we like helping guys spend their money…🤣

Is the passenger side seat a “click” sound? I’ve been passively chasing that for a year now lol

Welcome to the Forum!
At this mileage, take a look in your Owner's manual, and see what services needs to be performed.

Welcome!
Not a click but like a knocking sound when moving the seat side to side.

Welcome to the forum, nice looking jeep.
That is is a very nice looking Sahara. I don't admit that often. I prefer Rubicon's with the right number of doors. You will learn why in time.

Take Roky's advice; go drive the crap out of it. Learn it. More importantly, learn to drive it. Break something and come back. We WILL help you spend your money. Heh, heh.

Oh yeah, sounds good. I don't have a Sahara though, just the Sport model. I don't drive as much these days but I've been driving it over 2.5 years now. I really hope I don't break anything. Yep, I've taken @Roky advice several times, that's good advice. 😁

My apologies. I quote you and the message was meant for the OP. I was just seconding your comment on the OP's Sahara.

I am glad you are enjoying your Sport. Any time spent in a Jeep is "fun time."
