yes / I think I introduced the 15k remark lightheartedly earlier in the thread. I’m below that mark, but probably not by too much and YES it has been significantly upgraded - complete lift, gears, etc.I’ve owned 2 JLs and both had a wander issue... for about 500 miles. I didn’t adjust anything, not even tire pressure. But around the 500 mark, everything drives right. I drive about 100 miles a day.
Now, I can’t speak for every situation- but I also believe there is a factor of the driver. I see a lot of posts about “I finally bought my first Jeep and...”. They don’t drive like sports cars. My wife’s RAV4 drives different than her prior CRV. It’s all in getting used to it and knowing limits. Frankly, I enjoy the Jeep more than the Rav (just that pesky deal with gas mileage).
To the poster that is comparing the Raptor: a) you sold your Jeep and still go on jeep boards? Weird.
b) if anyone put 15k+ back into a Jeep- it will be greatly upgraded. Same rule for literally anything on the road. And I bet that there are boards where Raptor owners are saying “I spent 65k on this and I can’t believe this doesn’t work/drives this way/doesn’t have/etc”
The JLs aren’t perfect. But neither was any wrangler. Neither was any motorcycle... car... truck... but we buy what we want, modify, complain, enjoy.
