I'm having a hard time with this today. My best friend and his wife that we moved in a month ago are too home sick and going back to Maine. The cosmos gave me the out I needed to keep my Jeep but has now pulled it out from under me. I will in fact be needing to sell my dream vehicle. The one majorly expensive thing I thought I wanted and actually in daily practice DO want in my life. I know there are hardships going around, kids getting shot at school, people homeless, mis carriages ect, but this is breaking me up. Im actually crying. Before anyone thinks it and doesn't want to say it for fear of being harsh, yes, this is totally mine and Liams fault, we were complacent and lazy and this is the result. Its just a fact. I have maybe three months to enjoy the Jeep, and realistically I should be trying to sell it in two. We are non skilled, basic education workers and finding a way to make $1200 a month each is quite daunting with our lack of qualifications. So barring another cosmic miracle, Jumper is up for sale. Hopefully a sub 25000 mile tastefully upgraded and dealer warranty serviced 18' JL Rubicon will sell for 40k, or more 'ideally'. I dont know what else to say right now.
Wishing you and Liam the best. Keep fighting, and you'll see it'll all be alright.

I know this probably won't help right now, but you're experiencing a little Yin right now. Everyone does from time to time and it's an equally important part of life as the Yang. This, too, shall pass. Try to focus on the other positives in your life, the people you love etc.

The bright side is that if I cant keep Jumper, someone is going to get a seriously nice Jeep. Tastefully balanced between capable and road manners.

That's it. :like: There's always more Jeeps.

Also, I was reading somewhere the other day that there are more than a half million skilled labor jobs that go unfilled every year in the US. Electricians, plumbers, machinists etc. Have you ever thought about going back to school? A technical college or the like.

I have a friend who's probably 45-50 years old who's currently going to school to learn how to operate/program CNC machines. It's never too late for an education. He's a retired Air Force flight technician.

You’re still young. Soon you’ll get back on your feet and be better than ever. There will always be a Wrangler, and your next one will be waiting for you when you’re ready. :)
Jumper is very special of course. My only ever new vehicle purchase, and not to mention an early first year with almost 0 recall issues. I do understand all that too, move on, be patient and it will work out again. I may go find TJ when I have the excess cash from the sale...
