is definitely in its element in a beach town/driving on the beach, that's for sure. Those are the times I enjoy it most.
I thoroughly enjoyed it in Colorado, despite the hardtop, it was much better than I was expecting. We went to Boulder, stayed a little outside of Denver, about 6-7 miles. Drove the red rocks and some hot springs we found but it was 2.5-3 hours away into eerie flat desert area then followed by mountains.
After driving the jku sport vs jlu rubicunt. It was a huge difference. Both had 3.6, while the jku was fun for what it was, I absolutely hated the way it drove. Jlu felt a lot different, for once I did not find myself shimming the steering often, but then again it
may be modded as such. The 8 speed seems to do a pretty good job for power delivery for the 3.6. Driving in CO at times including some windy roads, which (as expected) it tends to be a little squirrely especially when you're not used to driving a vehicle as such on the regular.
That last point is where, I have second thoughts of "owning" it. I may not enjoy it the way it drives on the highway, as far as CO/Denver highway, it seems to be fine if I am patient in heavy traffic. We go to NYC, Bumfuck VA right by wv border and near Tennessee where I have drove twice by far, almost 5 hour drive in the dreary i81. I feel like I may get tired driving that for that stretch. If I get back to myself a more of a 9-5, then I may potentially go back to drive to FL. Amongst a bunch of other places.
I'll finish this post as + and -'s of me owning a Wrangler 4xe.
+'s
- great in the dc, it can take a beating, potholed roads. Plus the electric mode would last me almost a week, apparently forum breh's has no issues going 60 mph on it, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
- when we have snows, no problem (also where I considered s5)
- it can get messy and easy to clean when you beachin.
- top down
- tackle the sand (afaik obx or the place mentioned below)
- do camping on Assateague Island (south of Ocean City MD), no real roads.
-'s
- whenever I take most roadtrips
- whenever I encounter mountain roads
- I may potentially get tired after a while on said roadtrips
I just know that I may
when those occasions happen. I need to be
But I have time and may potentially
