Joined the Jeep family

Was looking for a Jeep Wrangler. We looked at new and used. This Jeep met all of our needs and wants at a good price.

So much fun to drive

I am very happy with the room and space for my dogs. It is very comfortable to ride in. Great handling. I can’t wait until the first big snow.

Jeep For Life!

On my 4th Jeep in the past 10 years and couldn't be happier with each Jeep! Always fun, always well built, never a problem! Once a Jeep owner, always a Jeep owner!

Fun sports utility vehicle

Very fun and very visually appealing. They only complaint is it's a bit top heavy (as expected) so it was some getting used to from the coupes I've always driven.

It's a Jeep

Steering arm severed above the Pittman arm around 24000 miles after some "vigorous" use. Riding on 32-34 inch tires on 16 inch rims at the time. Fiat Chrysler refused to pay for it. The mechanic said it seemed to have been split for a while as the break point was rusty and pitted. Seemed odd to him as the point at which it broke is contained within a sleeve. Unfortunately a DUI came with the break, so they used the police report as an excuse along with the telemetry, but no reason it should have broke on the street instead of on the trail. The break caused the passenger tire to fly backwards and destroy the quarterpanel. $9000 of damage. Bluetooth quit due to leaky spot in upper driver side door from softtop. Replaced under warranty along with passenger sunvisor which decided to hang loosely. Engine seems to lose radiator fluid, although nothing showing under the oil cap as burnt fluid. Uncomfortable seats for 6 foot me. Vibrating on the interstate around 70 with sametires. Probably the tires fault. I still love it. A few problems but overall, the model we bought is bare bones. Upgrades can be done in the driveway with minimal tools. It's a lifestyle as they say.

I like it but it's a Jeep

I like it. The styling is nice. Always wanted a wrangler but it's not a practical daily driver. That said it is nice and pretty cool to drive.

Rubicon Recon is Tough

My 2017 Rubicon Recon with just over 20,000 miles has been a tough, so far reliable, fun vehicle. After owning 3 XJ's that were still running strong after 300,000 miles, I was hoping my first Wrangler would prove to be just as reliable. So far, I have not been disappointed. Not one thing has gone wrong yet. I chose to buy the last JK trim (the Recon) rather that take a chance on the new JL. Even though the new JL is more refined, I figured the last of the JK's should be the most reliable of the bunch. For me reliability is more important than new gizmos, etc. The Recon has been a great Jeep so far, and I'm glad I went the way I did.

Best car I’ve ever owned

This car can do it all Take it apart for the summer and drive the Jeep while it’s naked and enjoy the summer breeze In the winter I can get through all the snow and never have no problems getting stuck

wrangler unlimited

So far so good. Have wanted a wrangler for several years. The one I bought drives well and I’m hoping will be reliable for several years.

Most fun vehicle I have owned

Most fine to drive and capable vehicle I have owned. Took the top and doors off within 45 minutes of signing the paperwork. This is currently my daily driver, and I have other cars for speed and for highway traveling, but it’s worth the money I spend in gas to drive this everyday.
