I would hope it would not have any problems if it was one of the last ones to be produced. They would have fixed any problems by then.
Not one of the last YJs--just one of the last 92's produced until they closed the Brampton plant and went all-Ohio

which to this day turns out TOP QUALITY vehicles

Careful review of that spreadsheet shows that I am the **only** 2 door (that is being tracked) in D1 status or better...

Is that right?!:surprised:

:jk:
I'm in Syracuse and ordered a Sport S in February also. How is yours optioned? Mine is Punkn, hardtop, auto, anti-spin, convenience, mats
Manual, Firecracker Red, Bridgestone A/T (not KO2) tires, black hard top, black cloth seats, and everything else except smoker group and trail rail cargo system.

If there was a Sahara 2 door, I would have taken it in a heartbeat.

Sounds awesome, I like the Sahara also. I've seen some tempting deals on 2018 JK 2dr Saharas, but I'm willing to wait (and pay more) for a JL Sport S.
From what I've gathered, they've made a lot of improvements on handling between the JK and JL. Add the updated Uconnect features, and to me, it was a no-brainer.

I just test drove a Rubicon the other day. It was the most "sorted" on-road ride in a solid axle SUV I've ever seen. They definitely did something, suspension-wise.

ahhhh I remember the days of leaf-sprung YJ's.. it was a bouncy time

That's saying quite a bit.

I haven't owned a Wrangler before; this is my first. My current WJ handles a bit like a battleship. Wide turning radius, and that rear end just goes wherever it feels like. Really looking forward to that extra 100hp from the Pentastar.

I went local and used Major World (I can walk there). Was able to get invoice pricing because I told them my cousin (truthfully) in Allentown could match it. I signed on it; later, I realized (from here) that I could have tried to hold out for less than that. $37k isn't too bad though I think...

I tried Bayside Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, but was the unfortunate recipient of a very hard sell by a rather overzealous associate. Left a bad taste in my mouth.

Jeep should just use Amazon to field their orders (or maybe a similar service). Wranglers sell themselves...why can't we just cut out the middle men?

Is this our premium sunrider soft top that is supposedly causing 2 door delays? If so rubitrux has them in stock. I am not really sure that is the reason for the delays or we would at least see 2 door hard tops being pumped out by now you would think.
