Definitely a departure for me, but I’m hoping to have some fun with it haha.

This is 1 reason why I sold the jeep; didn't want to get the mod bug on it
But I also need a 4 door especially with 2 dogs.

Was the jeep a steal of a deal or something?

Complete steal, I got really lucky on the situation. My mother in law was going to trade it in and was getting lowballed hard on quotes, like well under black book, so she felt better selling it to me rather than line the dealers pockets. Helps value that I know entire history. It was serviced properly, has never even seen dirt, and km are all highway. Truly 9.5/10. I even told her she is free to borrow it anytime she needs the extra space etc.

I could probably drive it for 2-3 years and lose nothing. Aside from anything I dump into it in the form of mods that is lol.

I'm sure values have dropped given the new model is out on the streets.

JL release will barely put a dent in JK prices. Wrangler resale values are black magic fuckery that seem immune to market forces or general logic.

Haha true beyond fashion. Tires -> used Jeep.

Also, IIRC Jeeps are awful in the winter. I may be wrong though.

That being said, I would have probably done the same in the same situation, except for the fact I don't like Jeeps. I've bought my past two cars because they were a decent deal more than the fact that I actually needed them.

[killramos]

I have never once bought a car I planned on buying. Always random spur of the moment decisions for me.

As for winter, I doubt they are great on ice but I doubt it will get stuck in deep snow or anything like that. I have heard the rear lsd helps for winter versus the open diffs and full lockers most Jeeps have. I am considering new tires to make it more reasonable.

Still beats the mustang on p zeros AS’s I drove last winter lol.

[BerserkerCatSplat]

Jeeps are no worse in winter than any other 4WD vehicle of equivalent weight with the same tires. Nothing about the Wrangler's design makes it "bad" for winter. Put decent tires on it, it'll be great.

[ExtraSlow]

The people who drove jeeps make it bad.

I vaguely remember a "what should I buy" thread... What else did you consider? What drew you to the Panerai over others?

I've always just liked the way they look. I prefer it to similar "style first" watches like B&R and some others. I didn't want something dressier, and the IWC's I got looking at were a bump up in price, and I have my heart set on a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms for my next nice watch.

Picked up some DrySpec bags for the bike. Saddle bags and a top bag. Stoked to use them instead of a backpack now. http://dryspec.com

Went to WallyWorld for some bird seed... figured I'd check to see if they had some 5W-40 oil because last time I looked it didn't even seem like they carried it even though it says they do on their website.

Pleasantly surprised... not only did they have some but also has a new lower price!

Only oil that I've been able to find locally that meets the VW 502 00 / 505 00 specs in a 5L jug!

Travel wifi router, so i don't have to share wifi with 300 other hotel guests.



And my 4 year phone upgrade. Sonynoying that they don't sell the compacts in Canada. Had to pick it up in the US.

I honestly don’t know anything about those travel wifi routers but while using them in camp they always gave me faster wifi than what the camp offered.
