Interesting this popped up in my email, I eventually purchased a 2018 JLUR and only kept it for 7 months (and 10K miles) before trading it in. I do a lot of roadtrips around the PNW with my wife and the wind noise from the hardtop was just too much and one of the major reasons I got rid of it...
Wow. Someone offers to put a deal together for you and you basically say - the deal is the deal and I won’t help make the deal easier. They say you need to “buy the seller”. This is one deal that I am turning down, not buying this seller. I would rather pay full retail for tires. I’m out.
I am sorry I think my comment started the whole wheelbase thing. BTW my half ton GMC wheel base is 143". For what ever reason - IMO the ride on a JLUR is poor, poor enough to take a small financial hit to trade it in and get a new vehicle.
You have to remember this forum also influences a lot...
LOL, thanks for insulting my intelligence - no offense taken. But seriously I was not interested in the JK because I knew of the issues. I did a lot of research on the JL and read all the reviews and watched a lot of Youtube vids and then went down to the dealer to do a test drive. Remember back...
I guess I believed all the hype about how the JL was so much better than the JK. I test drove a JL and it seemed to be great, I guess I wanted to believe it was lively and agile and let the passion of the moment overrule a cold hard look at its on the road manners. I did not expect the JLUR to...
Well, whatever. The JLUR sucks on the interstate. Short wheelbase, solid axle, big tires, vague steering, incredible wind noise, and a combination of other factors - they are just not a vehicle I want to drive from Seattle out to Eastern Washington or west to the coast - both multi-hour trips. I...
I did not have the issues to the extent that you did. But after 7 months and 10,000 miles living and daily driving my 2018 JLUR I traded it in for a new GMC Sierra Denali full size pickup. My wife shared with me that she did not like the ride in the Jeep. So that was the final nail in the...
I really missed a V8, so much in fact I traded in my 7 month old JLUR for a 6.2L V8 GMC Sierra. Mashing the pedal on the 6.2L is a joy.
Sorry.
BTW I’m getting about 16.4mpg which is pretty dang good.
Well, there will be no LCG build for my Jeep. I decided to trade in my 7 month old JLUR tonight for a 2018 GMC Sierra pickup. I guess I found that off road possibilities are not as easy to get to and find as I had hoped they were. Also my wife and I really like to do long road trips and while I...
Yes I am watching the thread. The 701’s are at the top of my list but I put off my build till spring. I have decided to keep my JLUR stock because ... I want to see what the situation is with the JT Scrambler... I love my Jeep, but miss the pickup I traded in for the Jeep. So I might do...
Anyone hear anything about these Easter Safari J-Wagon concept rock rails? Love the look of these.
