Assembled here... many parts havent been usa made for a long time on these jks... If the parts are chinese and such does it really make much difference where there assembled quality wise?

Same thing I've tried to say. But I guess the important thing is that it keeps jobs here.

many parts is vague, it's true perhaps but misleading. 72% of my wrangler was sourced from America (USA and Canada) I know my transmission and some associated parts came from Germany. And we know some engine parts are sourced from Mexico. I doubt very much of it comes from China. In fact many parts (see what I did there) are sourced within 50 miles of the plant. Dana headquarters is close by.

required by law on the sticker when I had my Jeep built. Also I don't consider Canada the U.S. Either. But they are part of America the continent. And sure if 72% sourced from America, designed and built in America doesn't make it American "by any stretch" well then that's your opinion. That pretty much eliminates every vehicle from being American. I know of a few at 75% but 72% is up there. I'm not sure where the Metal for the axles came from. You seem confident it's from China. Do you have a source? Or just gut instinct?
