Welp, traded in my 2017 Sport 2WD for a 2015 4 door Rubicon. I definitely miss some of the luxuries (back up camera, plush ride, Hemi LOL. But I'm absolutely loving the Rubi. I should have initially bought a 4WD Ram, but I've been wanting a Wrangler for a long time. Good excuse to trade out.

I will eventually need to get another truck as a secondary, hard to get by without one.

Congrats on the Jeep. I know people really like them! That is what I ended up doing. Sold my Ram in early 18, Got a 17 Durango R/T Had that two years and then got mt 19 Charger R/T. It is too hard to haul stuff in the wifes Pacifica. After having to rent a truck from Home Depot to literally drive across the street with a refrigerator, I was done. My old Ram came up for sale and I bought it back. Kept the Charger as my toy. It rarely saw much time outside of the garage once Covid hit. I think its got like 12k miles on it. Its coming up on 3 years old.

My oldest daughter will be driving in a few years, so my plan is to buy an older truck and she will GET to drive it when she gets her license. She has a vehicle and I have a truck. 2 birds.

I did the opposite to get the RAM, traded my 13 Jeep Wrangler Sport Unlimited with a bunch of mods, rock crawling ready to get the RAM. You have no idea how much i have regretted the decision and it's not because the RAM have been a bad vehicle but because i really miss doing hardcore trails with the Jeep. My truck is fully paid off and i've invested good money on it as well so i won't be doing the same mistake again. For now i've other toys to spend the time with, but i'm thinking in a couple of years i'll get me another Jeep to have fun with. Prob sell the wife suv in the intent to have one car payment that way the wife can drive the truck and i can go back to Jeeping. win-win. :)

All right!
I have a 97 TJ I've been restoring/modding that's my daily driver, but I love all Jeeps. Jeeps are so personal, as they say, they're built, not bought.
Don't be an *******, we Jeepers always wave at each other! lol
Post some pictures, please.

I dream of putting in Hemi in it, but the $30g is a hard sell...

I have had a couple jeeps as a second vehicle so I could keep the truck for DD. I had built a 46,65,80,97,99,05 and a 12 so far all CJ's or Wranglers with a few Broncos thrown in between the Jeeps. Thinking about one more Bronco as I like the new two doors. Yes I like my toys
