Prayer request for my JK
Well, after almost a month of ownership my wife finally decided to steal my JK for the day... I will be sitting at home with worried thoughts until she arrives home safely. I said to her jokingly before she went to leave that she couldn't drive it, because even though she knows how to drive a manual, she wouldn't even be able to find reverse to back it out of the garage...
Well guess what, I stood there laughing like the prick that I am while she repeatedly put it in 6th gear!
She just looked at me smiling, and giving me the one finger wave; so after a dozen attempts I decided to be a nice guy and open the passenger door and placed it in reverse, and instructed her how to find the hole!
So, off she goes while I stood in the driveway with the feeling of my heart getting ripped out of my chest. After over revving 1st, she quickly found 2nd with no grind, and then short shifted 3rd and away they went… So, if you could just think positively for the safety of my wife, 1 ˝ year old son, and JK it would be greatly appreciated!

I almost went thru the same ordeal today and it really requires proper planning to combat. I will tell you of my multi-faceted plan this time.
My wife told me she wanted to drive MY Jk to work tonight so I did two things. I took off the t-tops while she took a pre-work nap and woke her up late from the nap. OOOOps, unfortunatley I didn't have enough time to put the tops on before she had to go to work. She had to drive HER van to work. But I did tell her, "next time."
And now I get to take the kids out for ice cream on our first nice day in a long time.
Alittle planning will save you alot of torment in the future
