Really like my '16 Wrangler. It needs a bath. . .

Few minor tweaks -- upgraded exhaust, replaced the door handles (that was a pain!), aftermarket headlights, etc. I've acquired a set of the OEM LED headlights that I plan on installing, I like the look of those better.

And I have hauled a pin in it -- Dirty Harry just fit leaving the pistol grip attached.

Quoted from dasvis:

Damn, 13 second 1/4 mile time in a stock Jeep? Even if it's a Fiat, wow

Its probably impractical, but I am tempted. I love my '16 Wrangler Unlimited. . . but miss the big engine feel I had in the '70 Chevelle of my youth. I wonder how much my insurance costs would jump?

It must be Gladiator Season.

My JK has been a blast to drive for the last six years or so -- hauled it fair share of pins too. Been wanting a Gladiator since they came out and recently was able to find the one I was looking for. . . perfect color (for me) and everything.

So far its been everything I hoped it would be! (Except for the push button start and auto-engine stop features that is. )

Doubt it will see much off road use, but the wife's new 4Xe has been fun to drive (when she will let me ).

Meanwhile I have taken the JT off the beaten path on occasion. Still look forward to driving it every time.

Quoted from ktuhde:

Long shot in a pinball forum, but anyone have (or know of) a 2 Door JL hardtop that they would want to sell.

Not sure if this will help, but you can check out the JL Wranger Forum -- I believe there is a market place there.
