So moving to Alaska in July and my wife has been awesome and told me I could buy a truck if I pay off the Jeep.
Summary to avoid my rambling
A: 2010 JKU that needs a lot of money sunk into it plus a HD truck
B: 2016 Rubicon JKU and a truck or car in a few years
C: Sell the jeep, buy the truck and be debt free!!!!!!
My Jeep, a 2010 Sport Unlimited, is gutless and needs gears + some other extras, plus it has an auto which I hate. The good is that I don't have much money invested into it so I can easily sell it for what I have in.
The truck she has given me permission to buy is a F250/350 with the diesel 2012 or newer. Chevy and Dodge guys they are still in the running, I will go with whatever is the best deal at the time.
So I can keep the 2010 JKU and get me the truck or I can get my wife a smaller truck which she wants, sell my jeep and buy a 16 Rubicon.
I like the idea of a Rubicon because I would just run 35s and a 2.5" lift for the next few years and be content. The 16' would give me more power, better gearing, better interior, and lockers although I'm worried about the issues the 3.6 has. My worry with this is what if the JL comes out and its just leagues better than the JK I'd feel some heavy regret, but also I remember hearing all the issues the early JK's had so maybe it will be the same with the JL.
