Default 2012 insurance

Drove my new 2012 Rubicon home today, absolutely love it! It was a 200 mile trip, mixed Interstate plus thru Dallas, and the road manners with the new engine/transmission are excellent.

But when I got home and called my insurance company, Liberty Mutual, that's when I got hammered. My 2011 Rubicon was $504 a year for full coverage but they have changed the insurance ratings for the 2012 Rubicon and it will cost $728 a year! A 45% increase for the exact same coverage for almost the exact same MSRP just because the insurance ratings on the Wrangler are changed now. Geez...

Time to shop around then. I actually cut my entire auto insurance by a third just by switching carriers. It's just a pain to actually do.

Glad to hear the JK itself is running well and that you had a great trip home!

Oh... and congrats!!!
Just answered my own question. Called Chrysler phone # and told me it is tentatively set to be delivered to the dealership on Sept 10th. That's crazy... ordered the thing last week and it could be ready next month? Sweet!!!

I have cash in hand and am ready to buy ASAP and I'm rapidly becoming irritated that I can't even get a dealership to respond to me.
My local dealer Davids Jeep just across the DE line in PA has three coming next week. Website drivedavid.com. I ordered my 12 from them and it will be here next week.

There really isnt a lot different to take pics of! The OP hit most of it. Other than engine, trans, shifter gate on the auto and the evap can I posted earlier, it looks just like an 11. The engine bay is CRAMMED full, so very difficult to get decent pics of anything.

I went back to the dealer tonight to look at the 12 JKU Sahara, but its gone.

Mine's location was just updated to "On Truck" so when I get mine (very soon I hope) I will be glad to see what else I can post...

On that note...what are the chances of mounting an air compressor in there? I had my eye on the dominion offroad setup or maybe ARB. Hope it will work

Be glad you live in Texas. I called my company here in NJ and told them what I was planning to order to get a quote. It was $1084 for full coverage . No tickets, no points, no claims. Also I'm 41 for the record. They really reem you if you're under 25 here.
