Any Jeep Wrangler owners?

[God of Thunder]

The wife and I picked up a new (to us) 2016 Wrangler Sahara Back Country Unlimited the other day. Having never drove a Wrangler, I told her she wouldn't like it - however after 5 minutes in the Jeep, she said she "absolutely loved it" - so we bought it. I am having a blast with it here after a week in KC, and was curious if there are any other Wrangler owners here?!

Assumed it was for some sort of drive line swap but was hoping Hoover would come by to explain.

Did it look anything like this?




It's a CJ-10 and that's precisely what the military used them for, pulling aircraft around.

That looks exactly like the one you had at the shop. That thing was so cool, the diesel, the way it was set up. I wish I would have taken pictures of it

I moved a little further away from work. Was driving 10 miles one way on two lane roads with speed limit never over 55. Now live 35 miles from work and half of it is interstate. Got something that got better MPGs. Plus, it was from Massachusetts, so every nut I ever had to take off was rusted. Much happier with the '97 that has lived it's life in AL/GA.
