So, it looks like I?ve lined up a buyer for my LJ. I love it, and will be sad to see it go. But between wanting more time to work on the Willys with my father, limited dexterity due to my unsuccessful finger surgery and taking a new job that will require me to drive a lot more (and leave me with less free time, too), it?s the right time.
That said, I?m struggling a bit with which direction I want to go with its replacement I found two very different options, but am hoping to hear some feedback.
Options 1 is an AEV built JKU JK350 Rubicon (2015, <20k miles).
Option 2 is any number of 2 door JL Rubicons available for the same money with the same miles.
I don?t need the 4 door, though the extra space is nice. The JKU is largely turn-key, which is very appealing right now. But a 2 door JL Rubicon with the steel bumper group wouldn?t need much, either. I prefer the looks of the JL, but an AEV jK addresses many of my issues with the JK (new hood, grille hidden by bumper/winch/lights). I?ve also had multiple JKs, which is nice since they?re a known quantity, but there?s a lot to like about what the JL brings to the discussion.
So, for those who have spent time with both, any thoughts?
