I paid 8500, 98k miles. Very little rust underneath. The only thing i noticed after buying it is, it grinds if i turn the wheel all the way. Say im making a u-turn or sharp turn while parking.i do not think the tire is rubbing, it sounds more mettalic than that.
Hmmm, normally that sounds like it would be the tire rubbing, but if you're sure it's a metallic sound it could be a u-joint I believe.

Good looking jeep, congrats. Now the fun starts. Is she your daily driver? When I bought mine I took it into the local 4x4 shop and paid $75 for them to throw her up on the lift and give her a once over. They made me a laundry list of everything they found and prioritized it. I've been driving newer cars for a while now, so this was really useful for me. Had them handle a couple of the more immediate problems and I've got a list of projects to work on.
Good luck on that noise. Let us know how things go.

Thanks for the welcome Brian and Chris. In reference to what you were asking Brian, it has been my daily drive since i bought it. I didnt intend for it to be, i also own a '99 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. I just love driving the new Wrangler and cant bring myself not to drive it as much as possible. I had planned on taking it to a shop and having it checked over but have not done so yet. I think it would help me, im not the typical "car guy". I also have a '15 Chevy Impala, i would rather drive the Wrangler

At that tire size on Canyon's I don't believe that you should be rubbing at full lock. Might be worth checking out regardless.
