Glad to hear you'll be following our JL Journal :thumb:
Thank you, we're glad to hear you enjoyed the video
Thank you. Nothing wrong with your 2015 JKU. Great Jeep to build up :yup:
Thank you and yes, the handling and ride comfort is surprisingly nice. :thumb:
LOL!! As a matter of fact, our rear seat pet cover came in yesterday and so yes, she has been riding with us now
LOL!! Take one for a test drive and you'll want one even more. Glad you enjoyed the video
No lie, it feels way nicer than our Renegade did stock or at least, in our opinion.
LOL!! Glad to hear you watched till the very end and didn't think it was too silly :crazyeyes:

Nice Video, And one thing you pointed out to me in previous video of you guys buying it is the dash would grow on me, Now that you pointed out in this video of it being like the CJ's your right made my mind open up more. Since got a CJ7 sitting in the driveway right now so easier to grasp the look lol. Thank you for sharing.

that was a nice review, thanks for keeping the pressure on in wanting one!! it's killing me lol
But I'll keep watching and feeding the habit :thumb:
My clients are all out the rest of this week so I've got idle time on my hands, since the weather is crap here, I may go for another test drive
I agree on the visibility, the windows and rear all seem slightly larger than even the 2015 - which are slightly larger than the 2010.
It must be the slant of the front windshield but even in video the visibility seems better as you don't see the top of the windshield like you would in a JK.

Great to see you & Cindy enjoying your beautiful JL! I appreciate your critique of the jeep. When I chatted with the Jeep rep today for the daily update on my build, I got awesome news - it is built & ready to be shipped to the dealer!

I had to be content to test drive one around St. Louis; I like YOUR test drive a lot better (LOL)!
Great video. The JL really seems like an evolution in luxury especially with you making sure your heated seats and steering wheel worked. (Where is the snow in Tahoe?) My wife's cherokee has the stop/start and although I don't mind it much of the time, it is horrible when pulling up to a 4 way stop, pulling in your garage because it shuts off then when you put it in park it starts back up just so you can shut it off again, bad for pulling out in traffic and many other things. I got tired of disabling it whenever I get in so I pulled the sensor from under the hood so it thinks the hood is open. This disables the stop/start all of the time. I can't wait for what else you guys do with your JL as I wait patiently for the time when I finally purchase mine.

Thanks for the video. Looks like a good ride to the rocks. Nothing wrong with comfort.

You know, it was hard for us to say for sure being that we're running a sport bar in both our JK's but both Cindy and I felt like visibility was better out the windshield too. We just left that part out due to us not knowing for sure what the reason was. :crazyeyes:
Thank you , can’t get more honest review them this one
Thank you, we appreciate it. :yup:

Oh yeah, I think you'd love it :thumb:
What you need to do is go for a test drive - you'll like it even more. Believe me. :yup:
LOL! Awesome
No way, that's awesome. You're gonna love it :yup:
Awesome - congrats to you :clap2:
LOL! It is nice out here
Hmmm, now you've got me wondering :thinking: :crazyeyes:
That's the way we see it. Being that we spend so much of our time in our Jeep, might as well be as comfortable as possible :yup:
LOL!! From what I've been told and from people know, the difference between the 3.6L and the 2.0L isn't as much as one would think. For the $3k premium, I personally wouldn't hold out for one. As far as the 3.0L diesel goes, that might be a different story. But, if it really is that awesome, we can always trade up :yup:

My wife will divorce me if I purchased a 3.6 only to trade up to the 3.0 diesel within a 1 year time. I am so tempted to get one now but I'll just watch and follow your post until I see when you trade up to the diesel engine
