Hi all,
New to the group and just wanted to share my experience (so far) with Jeep.
So, I come from a military family. My Dad was a RAAF Radio Tech, and Mum was infantry in the Malaysian Army.
I went to the RAAF school in Butterworth/Penang from 1984 to 1988 and I vividly remember scooting around the base on Jeeps as a child.
I've pretty much wanted one ever since then. I've watched the Wrangler evolve over the years, I've listened to pretty much everyone telling me they're unreliable, fuel guzzling, rough as guts vehicles. But anyone who loves them knows that Wrangler lovers just don't care. We want them because they're COOL. For me, just looking at one brings a feeling of nostalgia that only a RAAF Brat could understand.
As a single income household, I've always made the "responsible" decision when it came to cars. But, this year I decided to go ahead and spoil myself. I've always LOVED the Wrangler Rubicon, but really wanted a 2 door, so in Feb, I ordered a 2 door Overland and patiently waited for what I was originally told was an April build.
All the while, my colleagues have been giving me crap about it ever since they got wind of my order. They've been keeping up with the chips delays and all else more than I have. Then, a couple of weeks ago my local dealership called and told me that the Jeep US informed them of a stop on production of 2 doors. UGH.
So, I upgraded and now I'm pretending to patiently wait for my Wrangler Rubicon with all the bells and whistles. It's scheduled for September/October delivery, but I'm not holding my breath.
