    My son has a 2019 Rubicon and before that he had a 2017 Sahara. When he comes to visit, I always drive it so he can take in the scenery. I told him that the only way we could have a Chrysler product in the driveway was that it had to have a manual transmission.
    I gotta say it rides and drives really well and has decent power. My 2014 TRD OR is a six speed manual as well and his Jeep shifts smoother and rides a little softer. It is a little bouncier but it handles better than I expected it to. I wouldn't trade my Taco for one, but it is a close second. I gotta say, the damned thing is a billy goat.

    Just really seems like something that didn’t need to be said. That’s your opinion some opinions are better kept to yourself. She seems like a pretty and cool girl.

    I made it about 00:15 in.
    Honestly, I've been pretty happy with my JLU Rubicon. 18mpg mixed and almost 24mpg hwy.
    No issues and I'm almost at 1 year ownership.
    I do have a steering damper recall, but honestly if that's all I have to worry about on a 1st year production vehicle so far, I'm cool with that.

    With that being said, I try and keep up with all the issues people are having on different forums.

    I thought about it. Faded pretty quick. I'm not sure I could get any money for my pro after all the mods.
