JKR advice wanted
- Thread starter StG58
- Start date
OP
She's been making noises about wheels, bigger tires and armor for several months now. Since that's the Jeep we use for longer road trips, and she wants to wheel it more, it seemed natural. Besides @Chris is right. What am I going to do with yet another Wrangler?Business partner... Nice!
OP
But just think of the mileage you can get out of me trying to manage my wife, a TJ project and a JKU project. That right there is entertainment!
Man , first of all, take that trip. Nice country .
Second , for the money , buy that JKR , it will be nice on the road , then sell it later if you don't mesh with it .
On the hate /jk vs tj debate-
Before most of us were TJ lovers , we were Jeep lovers .
I drove a JKU ,and my first thought was " my wife would like this " and second was ,wow, you could sleep back there..."
What do I not like ? In the big scheme , I dont like the electronics, the angled side door , and I'd love to see a meatier engine and a little more of the original "no frills" jeep design the tj still retains.
I like that a guy can lay out 10-15k and get a solid , reliable , fun TJ , and if he likes to wrench and mess with things , he's in business .
It is wild that the JK landed jeep a different clientele, and don't kid yourself ...they certainly have .
When I see a TJ guy I wave , talk , etc.
Jk/jl? It's more like.... " Pardon me sir , have you got any grey poupon?"

I'm just now catching up.
We might not want the new JK either , but your wife sounds like a keeper.
I love the fact that my TJ is a stick, so much fun to drive, my cruise control works and I use it all the time on the interstate, so I can relax when cruising. (stick means 5 speed manual for any millennials here
Odd, mine is a 6 speed manual.
Yes, I've shot my 8 mm Mauser for many years, it was my main hunting rifle for a very very long time. Yes, the Mauser action is very smooth. I've taken alot of game with it. Blacktail Deer, pigs and bear. My wife shot her first buck with it.
I know they had 5spd, I was just laughing a little to myself (as I fall into “millennial” but love standards, biased toward the 3 on the tree).
