That's kind of like Barry manilow's big hit song.. I write the songs.It definitely looks cool…but the louvers are nonfunctional. There’s not even a hole.
He didn't write that.

If anything I'd be more willing to risk some hard wheeling in a JL, regardless of the price - I'm just more attached to my TJ and sentimentally it's worth way more to me.
I would have gotten mine in that color if I didn't feel obligated to red.Ive had my JL Rubicon for one year now. 7000 miles. Zero issues. I bought the TJ a few weeks ago as a project. Lovin them both!

That’s why I picked up the TJ because the Red was just too tempting.I would have gotten mine in that color if I didn't feel obligated to red.
They both look great.Ive had my JL Rubicon for one year now. 7000 miles. Zero issues. I bought the TJ a few weeks ago as a project. Lovin them both!

So close...They both look great.
we have an exciting new Forum program exclusively for TJ/ JL owners.
We actually pick up and drive and wheel your JL for a year and post glowing reviews on the TJ forum in order to broaden its acceptance and try to change the mindset of TJ current owners against prejudice towards any new models.
We can send the car hauler , all we need is three likes to this post to sign you up.

Mine was a Christmas gift from my hubby! I have 2700 miles on it so far. And now I'm teaching my 18yo to drive before she heads to college. I would have loved to learn on a brand new 2 door Jeep versus the 3 on a tree F150!. Absolutely. I ordered it the first day it was available.
Ha! Seriously funny. 3 on the Tree... memories ... 55 Chevy pickup was my first ride. The JL is a dream machine...Mine was a Christmas gift from my hubby! I have 2700 miles on it so far.

I highly doubt Toyota would/could build a solid front axle competitor to put up against the JL. Jeep has been perfecting the Wrangler for so long its a bit late to try to compete with them right now.As the former owner of a 2012 JKUR who learned from an expensive mistake, I wont get tricked by eye candy again. IF I decide to get one, it will be 2 to 3 years down the road, after most of the QC issues are worked out.
If Toyota made anything close to the JL, I would be very interested.
Yeah I dont think Toyota is headed that direction anytime soon, unfortunately. Which means I'll be driving my old Jeep for quite awhile.I highly doubt Toyota would/could build a solid front axle competitor to put up against the JL.

We know what happened to the FJ...which was close....? At least on the road. I thought the JK was going the way of urban commuter like the FJ and would suck offroad. Unlike the FJ, the JK and JL prove themselves offroad over and over again.
Toyota need to steal Jeep engineers and designers if they wanna build something to compete.Yeah I dont think Toyota is headed that direction anytime soon, unfortunately. Which means I'll be driving my old Jeep for quite awhile.
I own an FJ, it is GREAT on the highway and decent offroad, but certainly no match for the LJ. The visibility out of it (looking forward) is quite limited and causes more issues for me than the IFS does. The FJ, with a straight axle and some additional design refinement, would be a beast offroad.
If Toyota would build a removable top 4x4, they wouldn't be able to keep them on the lots, solid axle or not. But they never will.
The FJ, with a removable top, would be a different animal. When I test drove some a few years ago, I could not get past that huge blind spot in the right rear. The vehicle ran and drove great, just felt claustrophobic. A removable/soft top would eliminate that feeling IMO. They'd also have to eliminate the rear-opening rear doors also.Interesting idea. Woud you say the same thing if the FJ was re released with a removable top?
