trading in my 08' 2 dr 6speed X with over 5k worth of upgrades for an 11' JKUR. Ironically I miss shifting more than anything. never knew how attached I was to it until I had to say good bye, bought it brand new and put all 65,000 miles on it my self. I plan to get it back one day...

Although I am about to move from NY to San Francisco- so the 4-dr does win for cargo and cross country cruising.(a teeny bit more highway friendly but the 3.8 was a dog at least in my old heavy guy.
I'm still looking forward to camping out of my 2dr for a week or two!

I regret ordering my rear bumper/carrier from 4 wheel drive hardware......two and a half months later, still no bumper, had to cancel and now going to order from Northridge 4x4. 4WD hardware has the worst customer service ever. Kept getting promised one more week, one more week, another week and a half, one more week, then when I cancelled my order, it took them ANOTHER week and a half to issue a refund. Had to cancel a photo shoot because I didn't have my tire carrier to carry the full size spare......never again will I even go on their website.

well i want "panel half door" that i can slide uppers on if i want. Their only about three options buy a mopar kit ($3700+), rugged ridge ($2300+), or bestop soft doors($900+). Idk what I'm gonna do because for basically 4000 (for mopar) after pant i can buy a and rebuild a set of axles. Or i could just get the soft doors and fluid my jeep out every time it rain (they are not very water tight).

I have spent plenty of cash I things that really don't matter, but I wish I spent the money on better shocks. My jeep is heavy and the TERAFLEX shocks that I have are not the best. I had an opportunity to buy some freshly rebuilt RK rrd's a few months ago and I dragged ass and the dude sold them.

Regret:
Wish I could have deleted Premium Sound - Junk and I replaced it all anyway.
I actually added connectivity group for like $400 - dumb because I tore it out and sold Uconnect module for $120
Wish I would have Line-X'd steel bumpers before I put them on the Jeep. Have spotty rust and will end up having to take them off anyway.
Don't completely regret, but looking back would have:
Gone Rubicon instead of Sahara for better front axle and gearing.
Would have gone 16" or 17" wheels instead of 18"
Would have gone 35" tires instead of 33"
Don't regret my red Jeep at all, but every time I see a gecko green Jeep I think it's totally weird, unique and cool looking.
