Coming up on a full year ownership of my JLUR. No issues, love driving it, no regrets.

My dad had the same story from the 60s. His Coke bottle in a rear quarter panel had a note in it that said something about a UAW strike. LOLThe JL is my third Jeep and I love it. I don't care what car you buy there are a few that roll off the line with problems. I owned a Pinto and the only problem I had with it was a rattle in the door. I took off the door panel and removed the Coke bottle left in there from the assembly line and the problem stopped (no kidding). Ha! But I never got rear ended either. I didn't find out about the Pinto problem until after I sold it. Info comes so fast now that you get a better sense of what's going on with every vehicle. But look at the overall theme of the messages on this forum. We LOVE our Jeeps. Buy what makes you happy. You only get one shot at life but you can sell the Jeep if you decide that don't like it.
Disclaimer: The guy making this post actually bought a Pinto because he couldn't afford a Corviar. Any opinion of his should be very suspect.
People are complaining about the LED lights in snow. They are cool, so get covered with snow quickly, then don’t provide much light. I didn’t want them but I think they come with the steel bumper package.I replied earlier, but my suggestion:
Get sahara or rubicon not sport
Get 8.4” display (huge upgrade vs 7)
Get the LED lighting.
Everything else is personal pref.
If you are loading up sahara, just get the Moab.
For some reason they are now requiring you to get and pay for LED lights when you get the steel bumpers. No valid reason for them to do that but to make more money.People are complaining about the LED lights in snow. They are cool, so get covered with snow quickly, then don’t provide much light.

I kept my full size chevrolet crew cab...thinking that I didnt want to give up the Pick-up...YI could never completely give up my truck. I need a truck bed. But like you I am also new to the Jeep Wrangler community. I'm a little nervous about buying an FCA product but I'm also willing to work on it if I need to.
Love my 19 JLU. Sahara with advanced safety package, great touch screen, tan leather, Majito color. Auto 6cyl. A blast to drive, rides and handles well. Wind noise not nearly as bad as some say it is. 4000 no issues. No steering issues or any other. Quality is excellent. LOVE this thing.Hey guys I’ve got a 2015 ram ecodiesel and have been thinking about trading in on a new unlimited. I was just wondering what everyone’s opinions on the new wranglers are, hows the reliability and major problems you are having? Thanks in advance
I remember reading a story of Brian Bosworth, the former football player. He said he would leave loose bolts or screws inside of cars he worked on while employed at a OK GM factory. There is talk there might possibly be a UAW strike this year. Don't give anyone any ideas! lol.My dad had the same story from the 60s.

1st time Jeep owner and I am sold. Had the death wobbles but a steer smarts track bar cleaned that up nicely. Love the Jeep and have no regrets. I was beating up/getting stuck and stranded in my GMC Colorado and Rav 4 trying to go places they were not meant to go. Now I go everywhere plus some and have a blast. Getting stuck generally is not a problem with the winch - have used a bout 9 times this winter and excited for some more this spring with snow drifts on trails and mud! Go Rubicon!

Same here, except I did trade in my Ram Dually. I worried about missing a truck bed, and sure enough, I did.I kept my full size chevrolet crew cab...thinking that I didnt want to give up the Pick-up...Y
You know you always need a truck. But....I have NOT used my truck since my jeeps.
I have a 8x10 utility trailer and it hauls everything that I might need a truck for....and I can unhook it and leave it next to my house. Jeep is great and you don't need to have a Bed attached to it permanently. But if you need the bed...just hook up the trailer. Best of both worlds. Go with the jeep...get a trailer hitch and a utility trailer and NEVER look back.
