Yep good point, I was thinking about an Overland but the dash wrinkle issues worried me and now the Euro6 AdBlue thing is even more off putting. Seriously thinking about buying a petrol Limited instead.

Nothing wrong with a petrol, if most of your miles are city and not towing.
If you are doing a lot of country miles and or towing, go the diesel, if not go the petrol. IMO

Ok so update:

17" rims will only fit WK2's with the basic brakes.
all V8's & diesel's have HD brakes and only 18" plus will fit.

Most V6 have the basic brakes and can run 17" rims however you'l find the same HD brakes on any V6 with the "tow pack" (factory option).

275/70R18 will fit however it requires the "pinchweld mod" which i haven't yet looked into.

I'll continue to research all the question's i raised above and will continue to give you all updates as i find them.

Please feel free to add anything that you feel is relevant.

This is US info - all Aussie GCs have the HD brakes. 18s only or some 17s depending on the offset and wheel design

Hi All,
I am purchasing my oldies 2015 Overland with 45,000kms as the dealer trade in was $22,000. It is mint condition although my Dad pointed out that the dash was starting to wrinkle. Is this fixed through Jeep or do we have to pay for this? Apologies as I am looking it up on here and can’t find much. It will be the wife’s car and I will keep the jk for the beach.
Any advice would be great,
Cheers
