Is this the right place for a build thread?
So after lurking on numerous forums and wanting a Jeep for years, I finally bought a Wrangler last year. My car history has been like this:
1993 F-150
1997 F-150
2010 VW Passat
2011 Cadillac CTS
2015 Chrysler 300C
I wanted a Jeep before I went to the 300, but that car is so good looking, I pulled the trigger. And that is a great car, that I still have. I was still dying for a Jeep though. So I got a used 2013 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Summit with the Hemi.
It was nice, but literally the day I got it, in my head I go, "my next vehicle will be a Wrangler". Then like an omen, that JGC blew up before my return period. Started making noises, smoking big time, and leaking transmission fluid. So I took it back.
I originally wanted a Back Country, but that's pretty pricey, and there were none around here. I just figured I would look around and I found a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Freedom Edition. It was at the same dealership that I got the 300 from, and I liked them. So I went to test drive and fell in love. I'm not much a negotiator/haggler, but I did look on True Car and it was already priced cheaper than what True Car said was a good price. Only a 151 miles on it. So I took it for a weekend test drive, and never looked back.
This is my first Jeep Wrangler, and even though both the Caddy and 300 were gorgeous to look at, this is the first time I have driven something and just felt like, "this is the one for me." I can't imagine driving anything else at this point.
A year+ later and I'm still in love with it:
Originally had the 430N, which I have since replaced:
