Yea, 4-door wheelbase is where it's at.
:wrong: it rides worse than anything else on the market and tips over when going through a pothole! How are you posting from the afterlife.

The longer the wheelbase, the better it gets. My JT is super easy to drive long distances on the highway. There's certainly a degradation when going to the 4-door, and the 2-door is pretty rough for distance. I drove my dad's for a few hours on the highway, and it's certainly more jittery. For as great as it is overall, you can't overcome physics.
I found my JKU rode great - but I also did the Rubicon Recon shocks and springs.

I heard this one leaks and has dirt on the backside of the tail lights. I'll offer $12k, tops.

You sure love our neighbors from the south. My woman refuses to help their economy, so off to Hawaii we go Thursday ...

Hope you had fun!

You waited until the night before you were supposed to go back to school? Nice timing. Let's hear it.

My best friend who moved to Austin stopped by and we decided to have a quiet night with his woman .... no we didn’t pass her around, although she does look like Mia Khalifa minus the fake titties ...

Went and got food... I literally told him let’s take it easy we all agreed !
4 pilsners
8 white claws at home
6 beers
1 bottle of Georgian wine
1/2 a bottle of georgian samagon that was 50%
1/4 bottle of vodka
1 bottle of sake that I got for my birthday
And then I had the brilliant idea to have 1/3 of a bottle of Pinot Grigio
We finished literally almost all the liquor minus the Pinot Grigio... I have no idea how i went to work the next day or how his lady friend is still with him

Alright, Linda. Maybe ride is the wrong word. Body control?
I mean, I said I still like the things. But to say they ride smooth as glass is just not the experience I've had between 2 of them now. Muhammad's last-gen Rav4 was a breath of fresh air after 2 weeks in the JL, much smoother ride, much better body control, much calmer experience all around, even though it did rattle a bit.

:wrong: :whocares: as I said, it's a special vehicle and it's hard not to like it.

Dplac hooked us up and when we walked in the door to meet the sales manager it turns out we knew him from scuba diving years ago. :mindblown:

Perfectly specd :jeep: at the right time for the right :dill:
Seriously stoked about it!

Heck yeah man. That’s awesome. Looks like the 3.73 gearing is optional on the Willy’s now, did yours come with that?
