From a purely financial perspective , it is almost always advised that you keep a non problematic vehicle than to lay down $30-$60k for a new one. You can make a lot of repairs for that amount of cash. Even more so if financing.
If it's from a downtime for repairs perspective, meaning that...
Similar experience in my 2020. It's definitely not perfect, but improved to the point that I'm okay with it. At least now it doesn't feel like always driving in strong winds blowing me all over the road...
Two years ago, I was in a similar situation as you are. I was looking to move to somewhere on the mainland that had great trails and places to explore that would be within a 6-8 hour driving distance. Being from Hawaii and stuck on an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean all my life, that...
I think that you'll be fine driving it as long as you don't constantly get into situations where you twist the sway bar, like flexing out the suspension, going off roading and such. Similar situation happened to me with a 4th gen Z28 and I drove it for a couple of weeks until I could work on it.
I don't believe that being in 2wd=trail damage or wheel spin. It comes down to knowing when you need it and when you don't. I have always been a believer in the tread lightly/leave no trace philosophy and do not wheel spin while on the trail. If it comes to that type of situation, 4H will be...
If it's a Mopar door, I have the same one and haven't had that issue. There is not much that can go wrong with the install, since it's just that one plastic bolt and the clips holding it in. If the bolt is tight, maybe the clips are defective? If it was an issue with the quarter panel cut...
Decided on a Willys Sport Unlimited because I wanted a utilitarian off road vehicle rather than a Jeep loaded with unecessary (for me) comfort/convenience features. All I needed was A/C and standard cruise control.
I do like the performance upgrades of the Rubicon, but unfortunately, those...
Probably too late for you, but back in March, I did my entire deal with Justin Muhrenberg, the internet sales manager at Earnhardt Jeep via email and text.
I just emailed an offer of 5% under invoice and got it without any negotiation. Maybe you can go lower than that, I don't know as I didn't...
Thanks for the welcome, guys!
Yeah, it's awesome here! I've been doing to Shnebly Hill Road and Outlaw Trail, but was kinda worried about doing Broken Arrow with a totally stock JK. A guy with a JT Rubicon told me that I would need a lift, since he was bottoming out there. My 2 door is a lot...

Moved from Hawaii back in May then spent the next 4 months "homeless", wandering around AZ, CA, UT, and CO with my wife in our JK, just enjoying life. Finally found...
First post here!
Will there ever be a model with the Rubicon off road performance features, but based off of the Sport? Like a Rubicon Sport model. If not, why?
I would imagine there are more people like myself wanting the off road capabilities of the Rubicon without the fluff.
