Looking for opinions so let them fly. I currently have a 2006 LJ with manual transmission and just over 55,000 miles. I looked long and hard to find a clean TJ but couldn’t find anything local that wasn’t a bucket of rust. I happened to find the LJ in Colorado Springs about 3 years ago. Since then I have retired and my old F150 beater finally died. I had been thinking about getting another pickup but we really don’t need or want 3 vehicles. My wife will not consider driving a manual so the LJ is not an option for her. With the insane prices I have been seeing for LJ’s lately I have been cosidering selling my LJ and finding a TJ with an automatic. Wife could drive it the couple of times a week that she needs to go somewhere and it would be our daily driver. I could then find another pickup for a second vehicle for those hauling jobs that seem to come up. So am I batshit crazy for thinking of selling my LJ? So should I:
(1) sell the LJ and buy a TJ, then trade her car for a truck ?
(2) keep The LJ and trade her car for a truck and tell her to walk if she doesn’t like it (this option could cause my life to suck)?
(3) sell the LJ and trade her car for a new Wrangler, buy older truck?
(4) other ideas?
