You bought the wrong vehicle.

[2019JLUS]

Hi, I'm Dusty. And I am a condescending jerk. Just wanted to get that out of the way before I continue. This post is my opinion, not a statement of fact. And I know that a lot of people are going to disagree with me. I'm okay with that.

If you bought a Wrangler and you do not go off road, you bought the wrong vehicle. There are so many posts here, with owners complaining about things that are just inherent to how a Wrangler is constructed. "My Jeep rides worse than ____, my gas mileage is bad after lift and tires (duh), it's noisy inside, my steering is funny, etc, etc..."

Not all of these posts are uncalled for, but some of the people have a rather unreasonable expectation. And some wish for Jeep to change the Wrangler to be more in line to what they are expecting. That's where I don't agree with folks. Several times people have expressed the wish for the Wrangler to have IFS, fixed windshields, even a fixed top. If that's what you want, those vehicles already exist. There are other options from most manufacturers that fit those categories. But there is only one vehicle like the Wrangler. The "quirks and features" to quote Doug Demuro from YouTube are what makes the Wrangler unique and desirable. It's the only SUV still available with a solid axle. It's the only one that has a folding windshield. One of only 2 that has a removable top. The body on frame construction makes it heavy, but rugged. The recirculating ball steering has a heavy feel and combined with the sfa can have rough handling and steering problems compared to IFS. But it's much stronger and easier to modify for improved performance off road. The problems that most people complain about, are part and parcel with the attributes that make the Wrangler such a desirable vehicle to people who want to use their Jeep off road on the trails. But it makes it a bad choice for a daily commute vehicle if you don't intend to ever go wheeling. Especially if you have modified it for larger tires to look cool, but did not consider how that would impact the daily drive.

Rant over. Again, this is just words from a judgmental prick. Feel free to completely ignore me. But maybe, just maybe after reading this you will think about what I wrote and if there is a kernel of truth to it.

If I drove at the speed I preferred in anything other than off-road vehicles, I would be replacing suspension annually and having my wheels repaired monthly. and yes, I do live in a dmcrt controlled shthole (nyc)

Also if you don't drop your top at every opportunity, then you bought the wrong vehicle. I drop my top even for 5 minute drives to the store, then close my top, then go in the store for 2 minutes, then come back and drop my top again, then drive 5 minutes home just to close my top again. If you don't do this, then you bought the wrong vehicle.

I never remove my hardtop. I need a vehicle with a short wheelbase and solid front axle for the treacherous offroading that I do in Arizona to reach certain locations defined by geography, rather than the availability of roads. Since I purchased the "wrong vehicle" according to you, please recommend what I should have purchased instead. Thank you.

Hyundai almost built something

Well shit, looks like Hyundai really outdid themselves. Instead of making a shoe, they made a sandal!

Amen brother! It's a Jeep and I think it still makes for a fun daily driver! I split my daily driving between my JLR and my TRX...and I drive well over 20,000 miles a year.

I have had 6 Jeeps and this JL is the best one of the bunch. I bought it because I was moving to Utah. I'm keeping it because I'm moving back to Utah. I bought it because it was lifted with 35's from factory. I have made very few exterior mods besides steel bumpers and lights. The interior is where I have spent my money to make it a great camping vehicle which is what I use it for. There are bigger and better things to use for camping, but I love what the Jeep can do and it's pretty comfortable for my dog and I. Rock crawling has never interested me much.
