I’m trying to expand my horizons today. I’ve picked the Jeep Wrangler as my candidate because I would probably not buy one for myself. I actually do like the Jeep wrangler, aesthetically, for it’s history, ease of self service, and as an off-road appliance. I like a lot of others, don’t like things like the ever present tacky mods (lifts, MTs, angry eyes, lightbarsaplenty, salt life), jeep wave, and sheer numbers of them on the roads.
It is ridiculous for me to count those things against the Wrangler though. I myself have owned plenty of cars that come under fire for having d-bag owners (WRX/STi, M3s...).
Even the wave... you’ll catch me saying things like GTFO of here with the Jeep wave...but if you wave to me in my old Bimmer, I’ll smile, wave back and think “yeah! cars!”.
So if I did have to give you a real reason that I myself will probably not be found piloting a Wrangler it is because it is my opinion that they drive as described in the paragraph above, like an “off-road appliance”. Side note, I have now said “appliance” to myself so many times that I am no longer certain that it is a word.
Anyway, on to the configurator. Lol MANY trims. Ok I have to start by referencing Long Voyager’s post from yesterday about trims. All I really care about here is a manual, and color matched hard top/fenders...I have to go 11k over base for those second two options!!!
For those reasons and others, I’m going with the “sport” trim. I have to have a 4 door because kiddo and large dogs. Also have to have a manual. Taking the V6, and the factory ATs at no cost. Going with the olive color because I want color, but not red blue or yellow. I’d head to the aftermarket to to get the matching hard top, and would do the fenders if the cost is reasonable. I’d also be swapping out the wheels for something bright sliver.
Ok now you go.
