Which Jeep would you buy?
Let us know!

I just went through this. I had $30k to spend and wanted to buy something that was already done with a high quality lift kit and low miles. I got the 3.8L JKU rubicon with a Rock Krawler 4.5 long arm kit, coilover in the front and less than 60k miles. I got it with some $$ to spare. A JLU rubicon stock would have run me much higher than $30k. These things hold their value like crazy. I am okay with the 3.8l and 4 speed after regearing. On 37s

The new Ford Bronco is the BEST thing that's happened for the Jeep enthusiast...now maybe Jeep will step up their game and put a little more thought into their Wranglers and Gladiators. They are good vehicles but the competition was sorely missing and now that non-existent market sector will heat up.

There's no point in getting a JL over a Jk but there is a point in going with a JT over a JK. I'd trade my big ass JKU for a JT if I weren't trading it in for a Bronco. Oh no, that's going to piss some people My JKU has been super loyal and reliable. Nearly 116, 000 miles in 5 years with absolutely no problems, heavy offroading etc. And I drive it hard but it's time to trade it in for something new.

Nothing wrong with the 3.8, fitted with the right gearing it’s a beast off-road, that’s what they built for, not city driving. But each to their own, I would not spend a fortune on a late model only to have it smashing the trails.

A lot of electrical problems with the JLs, can’t fix that stuff out on the trail...I’m still very skeptical.

already got a jk 2011 (33 tires) .. jk doesnt ask to much to jl, its great

[AnkushRattan]

I plan on buying a newer model Unlimited and customizing quite a bit. Is it important what trim level I get; Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, etc? I plan on adding lift kits and making it nice and "shiny".

Great video, thank you! Just picked up a 2019 JL.

Remote start on my 2015 JKUR. Factory option.

JT looks great but it needs 40” tires. 👍

What’s the bumper on the 2 door Jl at 2:56. Love the xxx under it

[legitaddress]

pros of a JK:
colors

stopped watching there

[ArizonaJK]

Jl is lower to the ground and doesn’t quite fit through some trails like the jk can
