Default New with Sahara

Just picked up a 09 Sahara this weekend and love it and it will just be a daily driver and will never be taken climbing, mudding or any of that stuff.

I keep reading all the bad things about JK's like the leaky tops, bad trannies, seals, and wobbling and was wondering if anyone has one that they have had no problems out of and are very happy with their purchase.

I wheel mine almost every other weekend and have never had an ounce of problems out of it minus a leaking top.

I'm always afraid I'm going to jinx myself by saying this, but I have not had any problems with mine.

i had the stall bug, and my soft top drips occasionally, but i would buy it again without hesitation, I love my Jeep and cant imagine driving anything else.

I had no problems with any of that. I had mine for 12k miles and I beat on it off road every weekend and it was as tight as is it was the day I got it.

My top leaks. Other than that, I can think of no other problems.
