Yea, I dig the 4wd sticker too. That's about it.

A friend came over with her 3 year old. Same little dude has lost his mind over my JT in the past. Let him use it like a jungle gym and he thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Then his mom had too much to drink, so I offered to drive them home. I decided to take the entire top off for the first time, and while it was a number of bolts (8), I managed to get it off in 5 minutes using just the tool kit that came with the truck. Wife and I lifted it up and walked it right back, then set it on the ground. Really simple for the JT.
They only live ~5 minutes from us in nearly the same neighborhood, but the entire 5 minutes he rode with his hand in the air and a grin on his face like none other. I've been buying him Jeep toys and books for his birthday for the last few years, and I think I'll have him pretty well converted after last night.
It was a gorgeous night, so wife and I cruised Woodward with the top off afterward. It's staggering how much fun that stupid vehicle is.

20% of house in cars seems fine to me.
The Beemah will be gone soon I think. If I can’t get $15k+ or so I may just keep though... have a lot of inquiries.
I have the deets? $39993 OTD, Bikini, soft top, Freedom Edition, is removing hood decal. MSRP off 42.6k. It has the comfort/convenience tech whatever packages so power windows, leather wheel, 7” screen, etc. The Freedom also has the better wheels/tires, seats, rubber floor mats. We really wanted the soft top or we probably would’ve gotten a similar sport that also had cold weather, but I prefer this one.
Most was getting $4500 for the Fusion with zero effort from sister’s friend. Trade offer on it was $2200.

So did you end up with uprated stereo? Very spec.
Keep on posting updates!
We got quite a few :wrangler: 's on the forum now.
No zero percent on Wrangler, it was offered with the Renegade we looked at but we both out after driving the Wrongler.max225 wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 2:46 pmyASSSS finally! I wonder why y'all didn't get 0%D Griff wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 2:44 pm

It’s the upgraded HU (middle version), I believe the speakers are standard. I dunno I don’t really care about that stuff.

Took my JT offroad at 500 miles in Northern MI. It's how to break in a Jeep properly!

The "middle" 7" screen with accompanying audio is more than adequate. Took the JT on the highway with the top off today, speakers kept up incredibly well.
Also interesting in my JT, the top off entirely somehow has less wind blasting your head than with just the freedom panels off. Both wife and I noticed that today.

I think it sounds plenty good enough, this is a tent on wheels, not a studio control room. Also I did find the 5” screen kinda poverty spec but the 7” and accompanying tech is very nice. Overall just love the interior.Detroit wrote: ↑Thu May 28, 2020 5:12 pmThe "middle" 7" screen with accompanying audio is more than adequate.
