Ordered the CF camera covers with a labor day sale deal. Decided to not overdo the CF thing and went without the mirror caps and handle pulls but adding a couple accents here and there should be cool. Got the matte version to match the factory spoiler in the back.
Seriously thinking about parting ways with the Jeep... I haven't driven it all that much this summer and with the baby, it's tough to plan long road trips with it anymore. We were supposed to go back to Moab this weekend and do a big road trip but there's no way the kiddo is going to handle 20+ hours in a car without having numerous meltdowns as she's too little at this point. Bonus points right now are that values are WAY up. I can probably get $5k more than I bought it for pretty easily. Downside is that I really do like the thing and it's paid for (always has been) along with being cheap to insure. I'm not sure if/when we'll be able to pick things back up with the travels but probably not for a while. I feel that the Jeep is pretty replaceable too and I can get into a newer JL or JT in the future anyway.
i mean; you're thinking about it, means it's already been sold in your mind.
It's not sold in my mind mostly because I don't know what I'd replace it with. Any car I want is, for now, ludicrously priced and I don't want to overpay for something only to have it come back to earth a few months from now.

I might put it up for sale for a high price and see if someone takes it. If it sells, it sells and I'll be ok with that. If it doesn't sell then I'm happy to keep it.
I already put an exhaust and intake on the Tesla...didn't sound any different though. Feel like I got ripped off. Jiffy Lube also changed the oil on it for me.

idunno, your post has more pros to selling it than cons..
you didnt say one good thing about keeping it.
well, okay...you said you really love the thing. but thats it.
but then countered with..."i could get a newer JT JL in the future."

This is even more reason to sell it. Used prices are sky high. It's not your only car, it's just a toy. Ditch it and pocket some cash, wait for used prices to come back to reality, and then get a new toy.

I love the thing, it's tons of fun and it gets a lot more attention and thumbs up than any car I've ever owned. The adventures and memories it makes are second to none. It's in great shape, modded exactly the way I want it, and has low miles (30k) for being 8 years old. It has also reached the point where MN doesn't GAF about registration, now bottomed out on $35 or something like that, costs me nothing to store it, owned outright, and cheap to insure.
Only downside is 13mpg but don't care about that because my daily is infinity mpg. The other downside is that it sucks balls to lift a now toddler into a car seat that's inside of a lifted Jeep lol. I'm not tall and basically have to lift her to chest height just to get her into the seat.
I can tell you're actually stacked in the direction of talking yourself into keeping it.
The car market is what it is and will probably stay there...money now or money later doesn't matter...
your kid will get older and be able to climb in herself...and you're still going through puberty and will
likely get tall enough to put her in her car seat without a problem soon enough.
Selling it would be a permanent solution to a temporary and minute problem.

List high & sell.
Upgrade to a JLU 4xe when the tyke is a bit older & the market stabilizes a bit. By then Broncos should be everywhere & JLUs will be cheap.

I ideally want a 4xe Gladiator...but yes, you're right.

I saw a California plated Tesla a few minutes ago and it got me wondering: What if you are driving from L.A. to Phoenix and run out of power? Does Tesla have a battery charger truck or offer a tow to a charger?

You'd have to be one dumb mofo to run out of charge on that route... In any case, roadside assistance would give you a tow to the nearest supercharger would be the way out of it. There are a lot of covered items for roadside assistance that come with the car but this one isn't free because you're an idiot if it happens.
