Haha, when my wife even mentions wanting to learn I tell her it likes to grind as little going into third and she backs down.

I was going to wait a few months and see what 2016 has to offer; mainly for the colors. However I received a $1000 incentive last week and added to another $500 decided to get a 2015. Found an almost perfect match JKUR Copper Brown that was just delivered last week and not even on the lot yet. It had everything I had written down that I was looking for. Took a test ride and 10 minutes later had a deal. So glad I didn't wait. Like the 2015 much better than my 2009 JKUR. Getting a budget boost lift this weekend and Duratrac 315/70/17s.

I'm no manufacture wizard, but wouldn't all of the changes for 2016 not be locked in to allow for design, re-tool, material ordering, changes in assembly line procedures?

Lots of prep work I'd think prior to such a big change in a model year.....gotta fill the hoppers with the right bits?!

Copper Brown looks nice. I haven't seen one in the wild yet though. Congrats!

It seems like aluminum is a good idea according to this article on the Ford. http://www.forbes.com/sites/matthewd...15-ford-f-150/

Why are some people freaking out about Wranglers adopting aluminum?

Something about the aggressiveness of offroading and aluminum frames over steel just doesn't add up in my head lol
