Yes, I am sure I will kick myself down the road for selling it. But for tons of reasons, the JK is a better fit for me. My wife is super pumped about the JK, so that really tops the list (her in a rental JK in Moab).@Cobriscus you'll miss your old school Jeep LJ

I'll be learning about the JK platform with you on the other forum, but we are keeping our TJ.
People can say whatever, there are a lot of reasons the four-door Wrangler was SUV of the year for 10 years-
They are a massively successful platform.
I don’t know how many times I’m in traffic and there will be one in front of me, one behind me and I’ll be meeting one or two on the road.

The JK/JL platform opened up Jeep ownership to a wider range of people, that is for certain. When we started talking about moving to a JK, the one thing I was insistent about was the it not be the everyday JK/JL you see at almost every stop light. I honed in on the Recon or Hard Rock (depending on year) as my target, then decided on either Rhino or Anvil (again, depending on year). It took a long time to find the right one at the right price.
The plethora of JK/JL's on the road vs. previous platforms is not lost on me. As I mentioned, I owned a CJ-7 and a YJ prior to getting the LJR. I have always enjoyed the primitive, bare bones, feeling of driving a Jeep. It did feel a little off to roll up to my kids school this morning in my heated leather seats, rolling down the power window to say one last thing after they got out, then turning up the music, coming in through the Bluetooth, as I drove away.

This really makes a naked Jeep even more fun to drive... (as well as a heated steering wheel like my JT)
Hope it sells to someone local (better yet, the OKC area!), we need a few more in this part of the country.
