Hello everyone.
I was looking for my next car and test drove a new JL Sahara last weekend. What a great SUV! Reminds me of MB Gelen or LR Defender that's I've always loved but couldn't find new (LR) or afford (in the case of MB)
I do have a couple of questions if I may and I thank everyone in advance
1. Test drove 6-speed MT and loved it. How is the reliability of that transmission? I heard it's a Toyota transmission so I'm assuming it should be pretty bulletproof?
2. Disappointed that Sahara can't come equipped with steel bumpers. Would you go buy steel bumpers after the sale or try to work it in the deal somehow?
3. Fender flares. Are there any aftermarket options to close the gaps between the front bumper and fender flares? Don't particularly like the open tire look of a dune buggy and want something that shows no tire tread looking at the jeep head on.
4. And in case I ever decide to start modding, ARB. I can't seem to find any ARB front bumper options for JL. I've googled a couple of pics of JK Jeeps with ARB bumper but can't find anything for JL.
Thanks everyone and I'm excited to be here and soon join Jeep family.
