Where to start! I'll start with the interior and how it feels. I have the leather trim seats and it is impressive. The fit and finish and the quality of all the materials is top notch. The JK was utilitarian, the JL feels high end. I love how everything is setup, the buttons and dials are nice to operate and the Uconnect system is pretty impressive. I like having the physical buttons for the radio and climate control and not having them all controlled by the touchscreen, but you can. There is so much info to be had on the driver's dash! Like tire pressure, how your drivetrain is set, fuel consumption and miles left, operating temperature for all the engine fluids and you can customize the dash! The Navigation System was great when I drove down from D.C. It actually showed the lanes on the driver's dash, with an image of the lanes to take or stay in for the coming exits! The weather has been cold and wet here and the Uconnect even gave weather warnings in the area and you can see the weather map!
Now the driving experience. It is so much better than the JK! The steering is more positive, less steering play so it tracks better. The outward visibility is awesome! You can see all around you, no problem. Having the Blind Spot Monitor helps too. The backup camera is one of the best I've seen. The image is very sharp, higher res than most I've seen recently. Still bumpy, but I like it, less bounce I think than the JK. As for the wind noise, yes it's there. Higher at speeds, but I really don't think too much about it. It kind of sounds similar to when you drive with a window open with a slight crack, not the whistling but the wind rush. I can't compare it to the JK, I drove the soft top. I didn't get the JK because I knew I wouldn't like it as an everyday driver, but the JL fixed so many of those issues that it makes it livable to drive it everyday. Did I mention, it gets great gas mileage!

co-sign absolutely all of this... just went from a 2012 JKU Sahara Altitude to my 2018 JLUR and it is completely night and day. I’m absolutely in love. I’ve had a 2010 Range Rover Sport Autobiography with a 510hp supercharged engine that had a $90K sticker new, and I never thought I’d own something that I loved more. NOW I DO!!!

Picked up our new Rubicon in Cottonwood, AZ on Saturday morning and drove straight to Sedona to try it out.

I’m so jealous - I drove one of Barlow’s Rubis in Sedona a few years back, and now have my own JLUR... but here in Richmond!! Would love to be able to take her out on the red rocks... Soldiers Pass... Devil’s Gulch... ahhhhhh

Case in point, 400 miles on the odometer, driving from Knoxville to Jacksonville, less than 24 hours with the new JL, I catch a rock to the windshield on 95 south. I'v had it for a day and I have to call insurance for a windshield that probably doesn't exist yet. Sucks.

Shiiiiieeeeeetttttttt

Congrats on that Rubi!

I’ve got the bar set very high as well for mine, so I’m hoping it’s something I’ll love for the long haul!

My Sahara Wrangler finally arrived. I love my Wrangler. The JL overall is on a different level than the JK. The suspension system is smoother, the handling is more responsive, the power is like night and day, the Alpine speaker system and the 10” Sub-woofer make the Wrangler rock. More photos and a more detailed write up coming soon.

Yay!!! We are Jeep Twins! She's a beauty isn't she? Let us know what kind of wheels/tires/mods you have planned! Cheers #KittyWhip

Finally picked up "Ruby" on Saturday. I drove down from NY to Koons with a good friend and had a very positive delivery experience with Craig. He's just a really good guy who knows Jeeps, loves what he does, and is one of the rare honest salesmen I've met over my 25 years buying/leasing cars.

The wait was definitely worth it. On the drive back from Virginia to NY, I just had to park Rubicon style at the rest stop! See below:

My exact color combo. Can't wait!
