You bought the wrong vehicle.

Didn't mean for that to actually happen...

Anyways, the addendum didn't have anything to do with my scope of work...

Naw Dusty seems pretty chill ... you on the other hand seem wound up a bit tight over something you "dont give a flying fuck about"

Just a linguistic attempt to out-hyperbole the OP I think.

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.

My daughter bought 2018 Jeep Wrangler Sport S Buy Back. Why was it a buyback? The previous owner said steering wandered. It is a straight axle Jeep with recirculating ball power steering. My daughter made sure all the updates where performed had them lower the tire pressure and took it for a long test drive on bad roads. She called and said Dad it drives just like yours. She bought it 3 years ago and has loved it every sense. Her only changes 33 inch tires and Oracle oculus headlights...

Look man I'm not trying to dip into the same cookie jar as you, I just want to see what it looks like.

Seriously? 17 pages later and nobody has taken this thread out behind the barn and put it down?

What do you think all those server errors are just for nothing? Not even the hacker known as 4chan can do anything about this thread apparently.

But besides those few characteristics, it’s an awful vehicle for city/urban driving. It handles poorly in general, but particularly in wind, at higher speeds, etc (go look at any review of the wrangler and it will say that). It has worse braking and acceleration than similar model year vehicles. It has less safety features than the same year model from other manufacturers. It typically gets worse mpg than similar vehicles. It’s less reliable than similar vehicles.

You're forgetting some of us might have more experience driving in a boxy vehicle, and compared to most commercial vehicles Wrangler drives like a sports car.

When we have to resort to comparing on-road manners of the wrangler to box trucks, you know it's probably not great....
