A couple of friends drive them and love them... I had a CJ in high school and miss the fun little convertible runabout. My last 'Jeep" was my Land Rover defender 90 which I loved! I miss the soft-top and the runabout feel of a Jeep.
Plus I am thinking about retiring the 3500 to towing, plowing and long-distance hauling. It's at 90K, perfect condition. I'd like to keep it another 10 years at least. To replace it for much daily driving... getting a new Jeep Wrangler or JK or whatever they call them now to use as a daily-driver to keep the miles off my truck for a few years.
Looking at two door (SWB) (when I need to carry four people, the truck works fine), soft-top, 6-speed manual, AC, Sirius and Connectivity package as 'must have.' Other than that, don't need a lot of kit. I'd like the Diesel, but don't think it is worth it.... may not be available in the SWB anyway.
Who has had late model Jeeps and what do you guys think of them? Lots of web sites (click-bait idiots) whine about them. But they whine about everything that is fun. Looking for some real owner input... from actual members of the tribe. And the 'Hide! I'll probably wait until late summer/early fall anyway. Get a leftover '18 when the 2019's come out. So just fishing right now...
Cheers,
Sirhr
