I'd say they're actually behind, considering everything else that's out, but they've certainly done their homework.

I love the Gladware.

Only real competitors are Taco and Colorado, and this thing is better in every way. Nothing is close ...

What's up with those decals on the fender and quarter?

I drove a '17 JKU. I think it was a Sahara. The fucking salesman made up some bullshit about how he needed to drive it off the lot, and then pulled it into a nearby parking lot and prompted to try and give me a lesson in driving a stick. That did not bode well for him.

Overall, the JKU drove fine, but with the JL right around the corner and absolutely no incentives being placed on the JKs to at the time, it made zero sense to buy the JK.

Forward facing trail camera with wheel path lines? that feature is incredible.
Standard steel rear bumper.
Some other off road bits that the regular Wrangler doesn't get.

I can forgive the slab sided bed. This thing is badass.

man, what's the rush? Your is under warranty... Maybe hold out and see if you can get a JL a little later?

Eh. Hi everybody. I am afraid to post because so many pages unread before dis, but Rudy telling me is ok.
I just got a 2018 Wrangler 2 door JL Sport S (technically a Sport w/ 23S package). I got the automatic w/ 6-cylinder. It's my first Jeep (just upgraded from a 2015 Civic coupe) so I'm interested in the Jeep World...
I was wondering if I could have advice for aftermarket stuff and general "Jeep know-how", mostly I want to get some nice LEDs before I sink into the modding hole.

I just moved from Florida so this will be my first time with a 4WD in the winter.

Oh and I got automatic because i don't want to deal with NoVa traffic with a manual. Though I learned how to drive stick shift on a '73 Mustang and '73 Super Vee

I'd look into the OEM JL LED headlights. I don't know that the aftermarket has solutions just yet. Give it time though, I'm sure there will be a ton of options in short order.

Man, the old school “I’m driving first bub” sales game.



I spent the evening looking around at local JL inventory, everything’s got the 2.0T and no Trac-lok. And they’re all $37k+.

Where’s that new purple JKU in Cali that posted?

The turbo engine might not be too bad. Jeeps used to come with 4 cyls.

What's the reasoning behind them driving off the lot? What game is this?

Spare area is designed to hold a 35 without modification.

Old game. Drive first so the :talkingwallet: can play with the buttons and gizmos. And then take them to a secluded road and them.

The Tazer JL allows you to retrofit the OEM lights into a JL that didn't have them from the factory.

Some info for those who care. Gladiator can only tow 4000lbs with manual, it doesn’t in fact have superior axle ratios to a regular wrangler. 3.73 and 4.10.
Rubicon tows 7000 max
Sport with towing is 7650 max
Overland (Sahara) 6000 max
Sport has crank windows standard ...

UGH..

That Sting-Gray Rubi has the shitty base stereo with the crap screen and it's a $50k Jeep.

Drive this over to the local Jeep dealer and drive a JL back to back.

Then figure out where you can pull the extra money from, because you really want the JL.

I can't see going from a Colorado to a JK, personally. Interior, transmission and suspension on-road are far better in the Chevy.

Not sure what issues you are having with your Colorado as I must have missed it, but I think you're better off dealing with the warranty on it than a JK.

If you decide to go with the JK, congrats man. I just hope you don't want out of it in 14 months and have to jump again and do yet another credit app and pay more sales tax.

That mojito one is an interesting spec ... but it is a lot more money than the gray jk. It’s like a full 14k more pre discount .... not sure he wants to add at least 8-10k to his debt over a green tractor

[max225]

Wow that gray rubicunt is a bizzare spec... no hids, but tan leather ... 2.slow

Btw unpopular opinion .... if the JL had the Ford 2.3 with the 8 speed auto it would be damn near perfect. The powerband is fAr superior to the 3.6

I always manage to attract the asshole salespeople. When he started telling me how to let out the clutch and get the truck moving, I just said, "I fucking got it." It was a rather quiet ride after that.

The 2.0T isn't a bad option, and the 8 speed is a great transmission if you're looking for an auto. But yeah, Wranglers are effing expensive.

Haha..

When I bought the ZR2 I ended up with a newb kid salesman and he was all over me with incorrect information and wouldn't shut up. My wife realized my disgust level was rising when we were on the test drive. She turned to him and said, and I quote.. "I'm going to do you a favor and suggest that you should probably keep these "facts" and opinions to yourself. I'm pretty sure he knows more about this truck than you do, and he usually buys every car he brings me along to test drive. It's your choice, but you're only talking yourself out of the sale the more you spout this stuff."

He was pretty damned silent the rest of the time, unless I asked him something, so I bought it.
