If you were somehow forced to give up your JT or TJ and could only keep one. What would it be?

Ok so if that part goes, then I'd essentially be SOL or diving in junk yards to scavenge it from a similar TJ/LJ?

I hear that. When I went from JK/JKU to a TJ over a decade ago I didn't understand what they hype was about. At the time I didn't know how reliable the 4.0 L was along with how maneuverable the TJ was. Granted I never had any issued with the 3.8 or 3.6. To me modern was always better but now...

Good to know. Can a new PCM be ordered or an older one used?

Hi all! Got a question about the infamous Jeep LJ. Is it really as great as people say it is? My 1st Jeep was on the JK platform, switched to the TJ (didn't fully appreciate it when I had it) and then made my way over to the JL platform. I can pick apart the good and bad of each one but still...

Oh that would be awesome! So the JT would essentially be getting the XR package. I can attest to it in my current ride. It’s a sweet combo with the 4 banger.

That’s exactly what I needed to see hahaha! In my head it’s kitted out with overlanding and recover gear but your picture is the reality of our trips. Not to say that we won’t be going on trails or camping but we’re more beach people. So I can almost see myself getting a bed topper and/ or a...

very valid point! My hope is that if I do elect to hold out, I’ll be out of the city and in a house in the burbs. Well it’s not an if, there’s no option. My little guy will be school age in 2 years so that’s THE timeline. Figured if I do see a good deal on the Rubi or Mojave and I don’t lose any...

I hear you on that one! It’s not about the difficulty of parking or the size of a vehicle for me. It’s about the availability of the parking spaces. Such is the struggle of the city. Not complaining, just acknowledging that it comes with the territory and has an affect on which vehicles I pick...

That’s what she said?

I can imagine! I used to have a 2nd Gen Tacoma.. think it was an 08 or 09.. was a dual cab long bed and was cool to drive but had its cumbersome moments. I’m trying to relive and reflect on those times cause looking it up I realized that the JT is only 8 inches shorter in length than my old...

Thanks for the insight! I should clarify it’s not the act of parking lol. It’s the availability of spots. I’m normally good with timing the work rush when everyone is leaving and coming back so there are spaces available. Sometimes spots will be available but could only fit a normal sized SUV or...

What are people’s thoughts on the Rubicon Launch Edition? I’m always leery of the 1st year of a generation but it’s kind of cool that it’s fully loaded. Don’t know if there were any updates before the 2024 refresh that would be significant enough from 2020 to negate getting a Launch Edition Rubi.

Thanks for those insights. I took for granted having an enclosed SUV and didn’t really even give the lack of climate control for a truck bed. My plan would’ve been to have a tonneau cover or a bed cap. I’d imagine the bed cap pretty much renders the rearview mirror useless?

Definitely! Now that same side of me that wants to keep my JLU and mod it out is also questioning if it is worth it to mod out if a trade-in is inevitable.. I picked up a Mopar steel front bumper from Marketplace and also have a Bandlands winch that are itching to be installed.. still need the...

Very true. It'll be a sad day if they do axe the Gladiator line but I think the "new" CEO will revitalize the Wrangler and Gladiator. They really just have to do something with their pricing for the people. I hope it hasn't become this runaway train that can't be derailed. I look at Mazda and...

Haha I'm trying to be smart about it and so far that side of me is winning. But if a deal does come around where I won't be taking a hit with trading in and the JT I get already took a hit from the original owner with depreciation, then I'm game. I've had my eye on some Rubicons and Mojaves...

Yup totally expected that one! No way Stellantis would retool their line up now with the current cycle 2-3 years out. Before I got my JLU, I almost went back to the JK lineup and was looking for a 2017-2018 JKUR Recon edition. Still have a soft spot for these even knowing the JL platform is...

Thank you and right on! Its tough for me to "give up" my current JLU unless I know I'm either making a lateral move or getting an upgrade. I consider the Gladiator a definite upgrade considering the wheeling I plan on doing and current lifestyle. I also consider a minivan an upgrade as well with...

Spot on with this. I have a little one and the wifey and I may be planning for another. I didn't realize how much stuff a little human being needed to be comfortable haha. It was really eye-opening these past 2 years with everything we lugged around during our trips. Made me miss the 4runner but...
