Nope, haven't driven one. I've also not heard the guys with them have any complaints, either. They love their Jeeps.Awesome input, thanks for not just saying it sucks or there are “many minuses” and then getting defensive when I ask for more than 1 ...
Have you had an opportunity to drive a 6-speed JLUR on 37s and hasn’t been re-geared so you can compare the difference in on-road handling?
I try not to diss anyone's rig because they represent and fulfill their dreams and do what they want them to do. Lots of diversity in thought and experiences in the Jeep world. Like everyone else, I just have my own personal priorities and I try to set it up just right to hit the sweet spot. Neither my YJ or JK, both of which I loved, quite hit the spot. I think I nailed it with the JL, though.
The key is to think about your priorities. Everything, and I mean everything, is ultimately a compromise of some kind. It would be great if you could drive several setups and choose what you like best. One advantage is that I lived with the JK for so long with 33's and the 2" lift. I was pretty sure of what I wanted after living with it so long. Btw, I actually wouldn't change that JK because its engine just wouldn't have the stuff to handle 35's. Not to mention the axle housings just aren't as strong. It's as good as it is going to get, which is fine. It is still quite capable off-road. And I still love it. But the JL blows it away both on and off road. No comparison.
