Couldn't be more happier.

After thousands of dollars wasted, I finally traded in my 2018 JL Sport for a 2019 JL Rubicon.

Gone is the Dana 44 LSD rear axle popping, the wandering steering, and the clanking noises during start and transmission shifts.

I went with the 2.0T on the Rubicon that I originally wanted with my original JL Sport purchase. I've owned two VW Turbo cars with similar 2.0T's and I can assure you that this 2.0T in my Rubi is impressive for what it is.

For all of those who recommended me to give up on FCA to fix my JL Sport problems and just trade it in for a Rubicon.
Cheers to you.

Congratulations. I did the exact same thing. I love the Rubicon. Should have just bought it to start with. I may not even change a thing on it except for a roof rack.

What was the MSRP on your sport and what did you receive for the trade in?

Here you go.....

Just need to reinstall my Rubicon Steel bumper and alien shade.

Nice! The 2-door looks great in black, especially the Rubicon trim. That probably would have been my second choice of color behind what I got, Ocean Blue.

There's no ocean blue JL 2DR soft top Rubicons within hundred of miles from my residence.
That was my first choice. Black was my second.
I got the bare bones Rubi, no LED package, fancy display, or any other of those add-on's.

Wow, that's brand loyalty!
Yeah, I've been a Jeep owner for over a decade and grew up with them.
My previous 2003 TJ Wrangler X was stolen April 2018.
I owned it for twelve years before she was taken away from me.
