'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the Jeep
The BCM was restless, now the batteries are weak;
The reviews for our dealerships were posted with care,
In hopes that a Rubicon 392 soon would be there;

The D1 status on orders have filled us with dread,
While bubbles on hinges have poked out their heads;
With halfdoors on backorder and the XR packages gone,
We bash the poor angry grill owners, and tell them they're wrong,

When out in the driveway there arose such a clatter,
"It's the 2.0 Turbo! It sound normal, nothing's the matter.
Away to the forums I flew like a flash,
Posted my grievances and looked like an ass.

When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But @Ratbert with a spreadsheet of builds through the years,
The website by Jeep was more than a mess,
It listed the models of Wranglers at best;

"NOW, SPORT! NOW, SPORT S! NOW SAHARA! NOW WILLYS!
ON, 4Xe! ON, HIGH TIDE! ON, 392 and RUBICON UNLIMITED!
To the top of the list, for resale value on call!
Now sales away! now trade away! now order them all!"

And then, in the background, my phone gave a ding
"Your Jeep's in production, go shout out and sing!"
But the story was different, once it shipped from afar;
"A rail strike is looming, your Jeep's held at the yard"

The fuses are loose, the seats are too high;
Fuel pumps on diesel's are going awry;
The LSD diff, is not worth the price;
I drove through a river, now soak it in rice.

We spoke not a word, replaced clutches that tire,
On our 6-speed transmissions before causing a fire,
And laying our differences aside of our pride,
We thanked Centerforce clutches that were solid and dry;

But after all of the griping, the whining the twitching;
We keep buying these Jeeps, so why all the bitching?
As long as you're happy, and so is the wife;
Happy Jeeping to all, and to all a good life!

I thought of a few more

Now that I have my Jeep, I gave it a glance,
Something looked off when I checked out the stance,
The tires are too small, and clearance is limited,
I need bigger ones, if those are permitted;

When I asked the forum, I was told many things,
You must get thirty fives with beadlock rings,
And with all that advice, I looked to the heavens,
Maybe I should get some thirty sevens;

Of course with new tires on my fancy mall crawler,
I now need a lift on my brand new hauler,
There are lots of options, all at steep price,
So I went back online for a bit more advice;

Springs, arms, and bars may need to be changed,
Maybe a lift kit will have everything arranged,
All bolts must be tightened with upmost care,
Hopefully to prevent the death wobble scare;
