Default Wheeling your Brand new Jeep.

Who here Wheels their Jeep and still is paying it off? Just curious as to who wheels the jk, or uses a "toy" for the trails. Thanks.

Why else would you buy one if you're not going to use it for what it was intended for? I can think of a lot better rides as far as comfort goes to spend my money on.

I financed the whole thing. With Chrysler offering 0% financing there was no point in drawing down my savings. Yeah, it's only a few hundred bucks over three years, but it's a few hundred bucks over only a few years.

And yeah, I wheel as often as I can.

I'm making 'payments' to the bank and my 'JKU' is not a DD, I consider it a toy.

I just spent about 30% of the payoff amount in upgrades, I am thinking about paying a significant amount of the payoff balance after I get my tax return



Hmmm, hemi swap, SC or big chunk of $$ towards loan payoff
