JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

I like that idea. If I'm not 1000% sure then I should sit tight cuz I can always change my mind but once it's traded in I'm SOL if I change my mind.

Great, the dealer left me a vm and came down on the 2012. Now it's the same payment as the one I have plus transfer all my after market stuff over and if the new engine actually is 15% better on gas I should save $50-$75 a month in gas. Just when I had made up my mind, ugh.

Well if your cool with it and makes you happy, then go for it. Rescue green is nice color to lose though.

If you have been actively using that warranty service, then i would say upgrade to the 2012 and have them swap over all of your mods. Once that warranty is up, then you have to either pay everything or start a case with chrysler to see if they'll do anything to cover any issue that's out of your control.

Saying from experience, it's good to have warranty, and when it's taken away you don't have that failsafe. So i say 2012 with better power, new warranty, nice interior, and that new smell.

I would keep your current jeep. My best friend's JK has 170,000 miles on it and he has not had a single major problem. I know we can't all be that lucky, but they seem to be made to last. AND...no more monthly payment!!!
