Me too! Especially after the investments I've made in Ofsteve. But yeah, all of us have that "want" moment when something like that is announced. :clap:

When I was a young man of like, 50 years old, I had "want" moments on things like Raptors, GT350s, Focus RSes and it's cost me a lot of money. Now that I'm a geezer and have some wisdom (maybe?) I'm able to let the sense take over. ;)
Growing up we didn't have a lot of spare cash, so when it came time to get a vehicle, Dad insisted on the smallest engine in the least expensive used vehicle he could find. Under absolutely no circumstances would he even consider a V8 for the truck, even when he would haul loads that made the V6 struggle.

The F100 had the 300 CI straight six, both Dakotas the 3.9, and his current F-150 has the 4.2.

It took me a long time to get over that mentality and it didn't happen until I bought my Ram 1500 and I just broke down and got the Hemi... I was trying to find one with the 3.7 liter to replace my old Dakota.

I guess now I'm struggling with wanting a new Jeep or Bronco all the time and I could reasonably pull it off without too much financial struggle. I have to keep myself based in reality that I should keep the Sahara for a while.

I know a lot of people like the Gladiator and that's cool we all have different tastes, I just think Jeep could have done better, seems like their R&D department has no "vision" anymore when everything is just a JL that's been modified.
I agree, a few other changes could have been made. But I also like how you can get a Wrangler in 3 sizes now. lol

Yes... I do like the Bronco. It is very hard not to just up and order one right now, lol!
I wouldn't think any less of you if you did (as long as you keep hanging in JHWR)

Fedex truck was blocking my driveway when I got back from the taco run (slightly delaying taco consumption :swear:.) Some Ofsteve upgrades arrived. Comms and Nav tablet mount parts.

Im sorry but nothing can 'block' your driveway when you have a Jeep :giggle:
