Otherwise....which wheels are those, so I can go buy a set?

Also been thinking about getting a teraflex 2.5" lift.
Its the Mamba M2's with BFG MTR K2's 305/60R/18. The cost to ship them would be hateful. Just hateful.

Shew, another dealer chimed in with a blind bid of 22k! I guess I'll be keeping this thing after all. No worries, its probably the smart thing to do anyway.

Yup, it was an embarrassment with the offer my dealership wanted to buy my Jeep for. I ended up selling it to a private party and got $6k more than what the Stealership offered.
  1. Do you really want the '12?
  2. Does your JK fall under the Chrysler fire recall?
  3. If so maybe you can get a '12 that way
  4. Sell it to a private party instead

Yeah, its annoying. I get that they need to make money from the sell, but holy hell.

1. Yeah, I want a '12 (or 13 I guess). Its the power difference that I like.
2. Probably, but havent received a notice yet. It was made before July.
3. How so?
4. In the end, thats probably what I'll do, but its a pain in the ass.

Financially, it's a bad decision, as overall, you will lose out on a bunch of cash from depreciation on one new vehicle and then again on another new vehicle. From a sound financial conscious point of view you will be throwing away a ton of cash.

But, the 2012 is so bad ass

Both points are valid. lol I listed it for sale. Its in the for sale forum here and on craigslist. We'll see what happens, but I anticipate keeping it.

I think I am going to order a 2013 mid July and continue to make payments on my 2010 until it arrives in September. This will let me break even on my trade in.

I started to get a lot of bites on my Jeep. So, I started to make certain I had my numbers right... nope. I was off on my payoff by 2K. I'm an idiot. So, its no longer for sale. I'll have to wait for a while.

So I sold it. I got what I wanted for it. I tried to buy a Jeep the weekend that I sold it. It turns out that if you want 3.73 gearing you are out of luck. I wanted the following: 2012 Wrangler Sport (black or white) - Hartop/AC/3.73 gearing/connectivity group/power convenience. Holy shit it was like looking for the holy grail (or is it grale - whatever). Basically, I was looking for something with a sticker around 27 and work them down to 24. No luck. I'm heading to Arkansas next week so I'll give it a shot there.
