Default Before you had a JK...

...what did you drive, or trade in to get your JK, and why?

I had a 2008 (and heavily modified) Dodge Charger SRT8 - traded it in for a 2010 black JKU Rubicon. I live in WA state and I got tired keeping it either garaged or ALWAYS spinning out on wet roads. Not to mention every Mustang wanted to freaking race me.

I traded in an 08 eclipse (ex's car with both our names on it that she couldn't afford after we split) and an 06 Chevy crew cab Z71. Traded both cause only needed one rig and my bike. Took loss on car but made up for it plus some with truck.

I had a land Rover for 8 months before I realized what a huge piece of shit it was. I read about people bashing the JK reliability but I guarantee it's nowhere near as bad as a LR3 and 1/4 the cost to fix. Add in the fact you can actually go wheeling In a JK and the decision to switch was easy.
