As a senior who has been left underwhelmed with the real Jeep Wrangler experience, I have a few questions. I might be interested...

Does the factory honor the warranty?
How does it rank among its peers for reliability?
Are the dealers honest?
Can the dealer service department actually fix the unit?
How's the steering?
Is there a paint bubbling issue around the hinges?
Can I get it in Punkin?
How many miles before the valvetrain goes to shit?
Are the fuses pushed in?
If I have to take it to the dealer for service, how many months can I expect it to be there?

Depending on how thing checks out, I might be interested in a trade...
You forgot…do I need a lift for 35s?

Would be fun if I was older, but I'd definitely want a bed for work in the yard (if I had a large yard).
My mom and her BF would love something like that, they have 7 acres and they're always gardening and other stuff.

and would rather have a yard tractor for the place and short but quick errands, I don’t want a golf cart with a stupid bubble on it ! Yard tractors can be fun. Uhh- real fast errands. ? ?

Be Careful for what you wish- you may think the grass is greener, but that green grass needs to be mowed…. I tried to mow today, the F’ing batteries on my new electric mower died with an 8 ft section left. Ya don’t put a pint of gas in and finish. Range anxiety with a mower, I can hardly wait for an EV. ?

Honestly I'd just hire someone. I'd do it myself but had a heart transplant and can't do a lot of physical stuff anymore.

High cost for mow blow and go. Roundup the wild flower and wild lettuce/greens, butcher roses, on and on. Fired them, have home solar so I got electric. Range anxiety from the first mow, one battery already toasted, tried to pawn off a smaller AH as a replacement, I had to give them grief until they gave me one from a new mower. Yep— can’t wait to get a new electric Jeep. :facepalm: …. Heart attack 2 stints 2012, Dr recommended replacement at the beginning of the Covid plandemic, so Nope- still haven’t, pace myself if I want to or not, barely makes the front- charge, barely make the back, add leaves— Nope, 2’nd charge required.

Lately I've been seeing a lot of 'wild' yards. Using a lot of large stones, uneven terrain, logs, and native plants and trees. I would probably go that route, even in the front.

Good plan- I have a dozen LARGE redwoods in large areas in front and back , circle drive , also outer dirt area around the back. Even though 1ac. the grass area shouldn’t be enough to require 2 additional charges. But I’m stuck, mower, edger, tiller use the same batteries. Same with electric garden combo small tools. …. Another bright idea . :idea: :LOL:

Another reason why getting older sucks.

Yeah I spent the weekend installing a lift, duel exhaust, stubby front bumper and winch. I feel like I got ran over by a Chevy Chevette

A big NO to all of those questions. As a 77 year old "Geezer" who still off roads many times a year I resent the fact that I'm seemingly to old to handle a Wrangler.
