I am looking at trading my 2011 on a 2013 that has the 4" mopar lift, 3" tires, chopped stock front bumper, smittybilt src rear bumper and tire carrier, and a few other odds and ends. oh, has a winch. Its full commando green, nice looking rig. Im going to go take it for a run early next week. First up is to lace the 37s on my pro comp wheels, ditch the stock front bumper for an ARB full width version.....and some lighting upgrades. I am probably going to sell the sb src rear bumper for an arb rear unit with tire carrier as well.

Looks like a nice upgrade the engine different alone is worth it. Wonder if it is still 4.11 gears? If you want to do a lot of overlanding you might want to consider a re-gear

And oddly enough I just realized where this is.. I am actually sitting in an airport on my way to St. Johns

Cool. coming here for work? or pleasure? I would say its still stock 4.10 gearing. I only do overlanding.

Did you notice the reservior shocks and the Fox steering stabilizer?
Looks like the original owner chose some great upgrades. Even rotated in the spare.

The 4.10 gears were an option. 3.73 would have been the stock gearing. See if they can pull the Monroney. Since it has 37" tires, it may also have been re-geared, see if the dealer has the receipts.

In any case, that is a well optioned, and modified rig. Looks like a good buy to me.
Good luck!:beer:

That is the Mopar 4" lift....basically a teraflex fully optioned 4" lift. I want to drive it before going further. I want to ditch the front and rear bumpers tho...and put my pro comp wheels on it.

If I keep mine, I need a bunch of work done now. New exhaust manifolds, oil leak in the rear of the motor fixed, new steering box, another brake pedal bushing kit, and more. so I am looking at 2g for that work for sure. So, Lets look at the new Jeep for 38,000 because of that work I need done.

I wonder if those are Mopar Hardrock rims with spacers, or the Quadratec version with the correct backspacing?

That's awesome. I didn't realize the 4" lift came with the reservoir shocks. I have those shocks on the 3" Mopar lift. They work awesome. Did 200 miles of beat up fire roads and trails, No change in performance throughout each day. Same thing across 140 miles of clapped out desert. The reservoirs do a great job of displacing heat, and maintain great control both in compression and rebound.

So when do you pick it up?... :wings:

I am not sure. I just got a line on 2015 lease returns. a 2015 no mods, apporx 30k or so on them for 24-26k cdn. Purchased at wholesale prices. I may jump on one of those when they are available this fall. And buy all new lift, bumpers, wheels....etc....interesting times. A guy bought a window off me today is into buying wholesale vehicles. perfect.
