ABSOLUTELY!!!. When I bought my brand new 87 Suzuki Samurai I considered that luxury compared to my 75 VW Bus before it. Then came 4 Runners and Pathfinders, even a few Land Rovers ( pieces of crap), Corvettes, a few Wranglers mixed in. Fast ahead 30 plus years and I've come full circle to my 19 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited in Mojito. I ordered every option other then the color matched top. I have to say, this is my all time favorite vehicle out of everything. I only ordered one other vehicle in my life and that was a 97 Jeep Wrangler - the first year TJ. I can keep rambling on and on but my Wranglers were my most exciting Vehicle moments in my life. You know you love what you own and consider it "built" when you frame the window sticker.I think it refers to the old “ built not bought “ phrase. When I was younger and broke, you’d buy a strip down bare bones Jeep and build it. Axles, lockers, bumpers winch, lift etc.....
Then you could put on your “ Built not Bought” windshield banner, and be proud to show off what you’d done.
Now that I’m an old man I don’t want to go through that much work to start from scratch, so I bought a rubicon. I might not be cool anymore, but I’m enjoying the fruits of my working my ass off for 40 years and counting.......
