DirtyComanche Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Missed my last one... figured I'd pay the little bit of extra money for the Rubicon decals this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neohic Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 You mean sometimes it’s okay to just buy a running/driving vehicle? Wait... guess we didn’t see an engine picture yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For remaining Unlimited Rubicons that were optioned how I wanted and in the province, I had the choice between black, white, or this one (Gobi). Black and white are boring, so I went with the Gobi. It's grown on me a lot. I actually phoned the dealer about a used one that was red, and he talked me into a better optioned new one for the same price. First mod will probably be a deadpedal, since it's an auto and I hate not having something to do with my left. Of course one of the hubcaps departed since I took that picture... Somewhere along the 1000km journey home with it. So it's definitely gone. I guess I'll get to see how good the warranty really is! 5 hours ago, neohic said: You mean sometimes it’s okay to just buy a running/driving vehicle? Wait... guess we didn’t see an engine picture yet. It's actually new new. Not 'new'' to me but previously enjoyed, not a 'new' lemon that they're trying to flog after buying back, not 'new' as in they rebuilt most of it with 'new' parts after something terrible happened. I know, that's weird that'd I'd buy that, but after pricing every used Unlimited and Unlimited Rubicon in the entire province, I realized it made more sense just to buy new this time. $9000 off sticker was what clinched it; FCA wants the last of the new JKs gone. FWIW, I found a nice 2011 Unlimited with almost 300,000km and a blown engine, and the seller was firm at $10K. I kept saying $6K because it was dead, and they kept saying it had a new alternator and recent brakes. I'm not sure how useful a new alternator is on something with a hole in the engine, and I don't see needing the brakes at that point either. That's how stupid the prices are for used ones...

mjeff87 Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Nice. We'll use the above as the "before" picture......just waiting now on the "after" pic (did you just pull off a random highway next to a homeless encampment and snap a pic?) LOL.

I wanted to stop at a proper lookout or something for a decent picture. They were all either closed or in thick fog. I stopped there to pee and didn't even notice the trash.
