Fun read. Really makes me want to get out and do some wheeling in mine. Buddy wants to get his new out too.. maybe we'll do that this weekend or next.[user not found] wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 1:59 pm https://jalopnik.com/2018-jeep-wrangler ... 1826552649

32.5k for a 2 door rubi
Epic 's on the JKs are completely anticipated. $5500 off... that is way less than a 3 year old rubi at carmax

Waxer says the JL is pretty much a Ranger Rover vs. the JK. I would have to check the JL out, to see if worth the premium. Probably is for a one car guy.

Well, the JL has more attributes outside of the transmission. But for those attributes you'll have to spend a pretty penny. I'd probably roll in a poverty spec sport with just power+ac. ~33-35k. I'd then get take off rubicunt wheels + some speakers and call it a day.Desertbreh wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 5:42 pmWaxer says the JL is pretty much a Ranger Rover vs. the JK.

meet half way.. would be fun
Miles wouldn't be too bad. It's like 12 miles each way to work, I'd probably skip the dog park that week so I wouldn't have to clean her hair out of your car... tack on another 3-4 miles a day for the gym.. 150ish miles in a week.

Yeah.. 500 mile drive, so each vehicle automatically gets 1k miles tacked on it just to make the trade and then return them to each other.

It is especially tough when you have limited mile budgets... that'll burn through almost a month of my miles... I drive too damn much.

I was hoping to stay under 10k this first year, but then last month made an unexpected trip up to Lancaster, another up to Venice, then gonna be driving back up to Lancaster at least once next month.. There's 1000 miles added on real quick. I'll probably average right about 1000 miles a month this first year.

The engine is actually not 100% the same either. The internals are slightly different and where it makes power has changed a bit.max225 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 13, 2018 5:45 pmWell, the JL has more attributes outside of the transmission.

Kind of an interesting read for those who may be interested. Seems like it's really a vehicle for what it is. And I infer that the gearbox issues have been at least somewhat fixed as there was nary a mention other than that it can be slow to shift.
