Have zero complaints about my last two jk's. Both have been amazing rigs. Also very reliable. But I bought a boat this year and my jku does not pull it as well as I hoped. Just need a change in life, felt like I lost appreciation for what jeeps were for. For the last four years I truly enjoyed wheeling, bring topless and doorless and the entire jeep community. So jeep is up for sale and I just picked up a 2007 f150 super crew. The ride and power is awesome in comparison. Just gotta remember it won't wheel any where close to the jk! Need to take having fun in a different direction too. The boat is a blast and my dad has also passed a 1999 svt mustang down to me. He bought the car new and only put 20,000km on it. It has hardly been driven in three years because of his knee. So farewell fellow jeepers. I will probably be back one day. Few pics of my truck and mustang!!

Maybe someday you will come back to owning a Jeep JK.

Nice truck....
As someone stated...life happens.
As an aside, did you ever consider a 2012 or 2013? I'm not sure how big your boat is, but the new engine and tranny would make a world of difference. That 3.6 engine and 5 speed auto are the same one used in the Grand Cherokee and Durango....which are rated at +5000 pounds. The new Wrangler JKU is still limited to 3500 pounds...but that is only due to hitch design/center of gravity/brakes/ect...
