Used jeep wranglers

"The government has increased customs duties on entry-level electric vehicles.
The government has increased the customs and excise duty up to 15 per cent on entry-level electric cars, jeeps and vans, which are in high demand and are in use in Nepal.
The Finance Ministry has reduced taxes on mid-range EVs while it has not significantly increased (decreased infact) taxes on high-end EVs."

Any recommendations on running boards/ rock sliders?

Trying to decide on where to go from here. I’m currently working out of a jeep wrangler and 6x12 cargo trailer and doing residential plumbing service for the foreseeable future.
I wanted to save up and get a awd or 4x4 cargo van, but I’m starting to think maybe the truck and trailer route is the way to go. Why?
My area is very rural. Lots of dirt roads. Dirt / muddy driveways. Area has a lot of snow in the winter. My driveway alone can be difficult to get up and down if I haven’t plowed. And probably the biggest reason for getting the truck is I could also use the truck as a personal vehicle, eliminating one vehicle (work van and personal) and save a bunch of money.
I love the idea of a big ass ford transit extended awd rolling shop, just worry it won’t cut it in winter up here and it’s $$$$$.
What would you do?

I just got a 10 inch JL audio sub and I’m looking for a box. I found a bed lined box on eBay but I’m worried that humidity from when it rains might ruin the subwoofer itself. It’s a 1992 wrangler and it’s fully open except with the waterproof top. Any suggestions or insight??

I've been having weird issues with my clutch for the past week and had scheduled an appointment for the 14th of june with the jeep dealership but today a complete clutch failure happened suddenly and it feels like the pressure plate just went out. This is insane to me someone who has 10 years of driving stick shifts. I absolutely babied this vehicle day one
I know there is an active recall on the clutch assembly for the JLs but my dealership prior to the clutch failure did not want to do anything because there was no fix out for it yet. What are my options?
I would be willing to go through the fca reinbursment but I dont want to put the same faulty clutch design back into the jeep and also the risk they deny my reinbursment claim. I have yet to find out if the dealership will even fix it under warrenty.
I have geico Mechanical breakdown insurance. Idk if there is success justifying to them this was not a failure of normal wear and tear.

I have a 2011 Wrangler 4door Right Hand Drive. I need the seat to floor bracket for the passenger (left from inside the vehicle) side. There is a set on ebay that is for the left (from inside) driver side of a left hand drive jeep. Would it work for me?

Tennessee woman is currently missing on cross country trip with boyfriend, with creepy similarities to Gabby Petitio.
Nikki Alcaraz set out on a long road trip with her boyfriend Tyler Stratton and her pet dog to visit family in Orange County, California. It has now been three weeks since her family has heard anything from her which is unusual since Nikki's sister Toni is use to hearing updates everyday.
The dream road trip took an unsettling and familiar turn on May 4th to any one familiar with the Gabby Petitio case. The Torrance County police report that witnesses saw Tyler strike Nikki in the face on that day in May. They went on to say Tyler stated she had hit him first and he had blood on his mouth and nose.
Neither of the pair wanted to press charges so Tyler and Nikki were separated and given rides, with Nikki ending up in Moriarty, New Mexico. It was from here that Toni last heard from her sister.
In their final conversation Toni said her sister was crying and very upset. Toni said she could tell Nikki had been beaten pretty badly.
Toni, being a good sister, dispatched a family member to make the long drive and bring Nikki back home.
When the family member arrived they did find Nikki and on the morning of their departure back to Tennessee, Nikki refused to leave, saying she had a bad feeling about Tyler and needed to find him. Her ride home left without her.
Toni believes the family member was the last person to see her alive.
On May 8th, Toni received one last text from Nikki saying she was in Arizona and planned on finishing the trip. Her phone has since been shut off or is out of service.
A license plate reader clocked the Jeep that Nikki and Tyler were traveling in on May 8th in Arizona and no further sightings or communication have been reported.
Toni has filed a missing person case for Nikki in New Mexico because that was where she was last seen. Cheatam County,Tennessee, States Attorney Ray Crouch has been gathering information from law enforcement in both New Mexico and Arizona in an attempt to get to the bottom of this mystery. Crouch has also requested a nationwide extradition order for Tyler Stratton on an unrelated probation violation in a attempt to locate the pair and find some answers for the very concerned family.
Nikki is decribed as 5 foot 6 inches tall with black/brown hair and many tattoos.
The Jeep is a 2013 Jeep Wrangler with a Tennessee license plate reading BGL3539 and a "Mama tried" bumper sticker, with camo seat covers.
Anyone with any information on Nikki or Tyler's whereabouts should call Moriarty Police Department at 505-832-6060 or at 505-834-2705.

After what happened, kani-kanina lang ako ulit bumalik dun sa area. Doon kasi talaga babaan ko from work. It doesn't help na I'm clinically diagnosed with anxiety. :/
Pag sakay ko pa lang ng jeep from work, kinabahan na ako bumalik dun sa area kasi baka nandoon na naman siya. Overthinking ensued: baka manakit na this time or worse. Naisip ko na naman yung wife and cats ko na baka maiwan ko mag-isa. Then, on the way there, my coping mechanisms kicked in.
Anxiety turned into anger. I associated her with my childhood bullies. As per my therapist back then, I am apparently traumatized by childhood bullying. So, all those hatred resurfaces, and ayun na nga, muntanga ko sa jeep nanginginig ako sa galit.
I took a moment to process my emotions. Anxiety nga, and of course, I'm coping by getting angry. Angry beats sad. So, that's fine, I guess. Already, I was conditioning myself to avoid physical retaliation if ever, kasi di ako naniniwala sa self-defense lalo na at punyeta justice system dito. Alala ko may news dati na malinaw sa CCTV na self-defense yung nangyari, but somehow the victim still went to jail for murder. Ayoko na matulad dun.
Pag baba ko ng jeep, di muna ko tumawid. I scanned the entire fucking area na nanginginig sa galit. I'm checking for escape routes, potential hiding spots if motherfucker has a gun, and potential items I could use for self-defense, just in case I need to. Tanginang overthinking yan.
Couldn't find her. Saka ako tumawid to buy some ulam to eat pag-uwi. Scanned again. Wala pa rin siya. Suki ko na yung karinderya. Naisip ko tanungin if may napansin siyang baliw nung isang araw, but anxiety kicked in again: hirap magtiwala.
Eventually, sumakay na ako ng jeep pauwi. I felt upset and frustrated. Motherfucker wasn't there. I processed my emotions again. Di to healthy. It's better na wala siya doon. I'm safe and shit. So, ayun, I'm typing this to vent. I feel better na. :)

I am not sure which vehicle I should purchase. I can get a good discount on the Jeep (likely $5,000 off) because we bought one two years ago from there, and we use their location for servicing.
I am not sure how much I could get off on the escape. I have yet to test drive a 2023 Ford escape.
I very much prefer the look of the 2023 Ford Escape, but I prefer the power of the V6 engine… my mom says Jeep is more reliable, but I am not sure exactly. My mom owns a Cherokee Trailhawk.
I’d appreciate other people’s input! I likely will not be buying a car until next February/March…

I’m finally getting parts together for my 08 4WD V6 SR5 to upgrade the suspension. After literally years of scouring salvage yards for an FJ (harder to find in a junkyard than a TJ Wrangler) I got a notice of a ‘10 FJ and ran over and snagged the struts. I am already planning to buy new Bilstien shocks to use with the salvaged springs since I have no idea how many miles were on the Tokicos I took off the wreck. Then I did some research and discovered there is a difference between the 2WD & 4WD FJ springs but I can’t figure out what the difference really is (I know there is a difference in stiffness between the driver & passenger sides). What kind of a difference are we talking about here? The struts & springs were $30/ea so I’m not out a lot of money, but if the springs are basically the same size as my OEM 4Runner ones, I don’t want to bother with the labor to do the swap. 330,000 reliable miles on my rig and she deserves the best budget junkyard parts I can find. Thanks for your help.

Hey everyone, i am strongly considering getting my first Jeep Grand Cherokee (used) as I have been a Chevy Impala driver my whole life adult life and they stopped making them and they are hard to find. I found this 2020 jeep Grand Cherokee Limited Supreme ( it has all the bells and whistles of the overland) but i'm not sure what's the lookout for in terms of typical Cherokee bad parts.
I hear that the Jeep Cherokee is a great vehicle and also the worst vehicle to buy, so I'm coming here for honest advice on should I make this investment or just stay away and if I should watch should I look out for a while I'm inspecting the vehicle this week.
I plan on trying to get them down to 25K was trade me in my older car, so any input would be appreciated.
