-Windshield has lasted 2 years and 2 months, but has literally 12 rock chips waiting to spider. to be replaced in spring..one more winter please!!
-shift boot replaced
-shift knob replaced 3 times, as mechanic is an idiot, and ruined the first one when replacing the shift boot.
-computer flash - as stereo cut out
-rear locker coil replaced (dealer ended up replacing entire rear diff internals as precaution)
-steering stabilizer replaced (had a leak.)
-unbearable rattle in center of dash - yet to be fixed. I have taken out half the dash, but needed to dig further. to be continued..
-Rear gate rattle that was unbearable too...but has been 99% corrected.
-Power steering pump going to be replaced soon.

But to be brutally honest, I love my jeep, I am just working out the bugs, and I just keep building it up.....It truely is a Jeep Thing

The JK is the most capable civilian offroad vehicle made hands down. Mostly driven as a daily driver, has always transported me to and from the trails, multiple highway runs, and never let me down.

Sway bar disconnect was the first thing to not work properly. First break was a punctured steering stabilizer.

The X sticker, I was messing with it one day and it peeled right off. Would you believe the one on the other side did it shortly after.
Other than that everything seems to be fine.
