2012 Jeep Wrangler 2dr Sport I bought new in 2011. It's just about as stripped as you can get it. Only boxes I checked were the 5 speed auto and 3.73 gears crank windows and no AC. Immediately replaced the stock 29's with 33x12.5/15 Goodyear Duratracs. Ran it like that for about a year, it drove fine zero rubbing but off road with the front sway bar disconnected it'd rub the fenders something fierce and I was dragging skid plates on every trail. So threw a 2.5" Teraflex coil spring lift on it to get the belly off the ground. I only went with 33's because I never intended on lifting it, and now I still have the SAME 33's, can't freaking wear them out so I can't justify bumping to 35's. And wow I never take pics of it.

Pic 1: Right as it came off the delivery truck
Pic 2: bone stock other than wheels/tires (brrr, pic was March 12 2012 in NY)
Pic 3: Lifted, new soft top and rear bumper/tire carrier
Pic 4: Basically how it is now and has been for about 6 years

Amazing car and then I got an amazing deal on hers that I couldn’t pass up. We haven’t paid for gas in 6 months. While the cars are very good, it is monotonous having the same car which is why we are going to get a bronco as well. Need a beach/off-road/topless car.

600/month. No month down. 3 years. 15,000 mi.
Pricey I paid $400 for three row touring Mazda CX-9 lease but I imagine bronco payments will be a bit higher than your lease if I buy it and not lease it

Not really for a fully loaded Rubicon. It's just math. Under invoice capitalized cost with tread lightly discount. High residual, decent money factor. Also 1st year of a new jeep design so I didn't want the risk.

Curious what everyone here is driving currently. I'm in a Ford Flex and been thinking of going to a higher SUV like the Explorer but would prefer something more rugged. Jeep has been on my radar but its crap reliability scares me.
I'm driving a 1994 Chevy K5 Blazer with 239K. I will fix it until my new Bronco arrives. I have been waiting, planning since the announcement a few years ago. I getting one for sure but Ford is making me feel uneasy about the price structure.

Hey first post here but been following along for a long time. I have a reservation on the first day and plan on a Wildtrak but I couldn’t wait any longer and bought a GT350. I still have my F150 but my goal now is to get my wife to trade her Jeep for the Bronco. Going to order Velocity Blue so I guess I’ll have more time to work on that.

An old 2008 Infiniti M35x is the beater car and my current daily.

I had a 2014 Mustang manual with the 305hp 3.7L V6, gave it to my wife as her daily. Only 35k miles on the clock. Upgraded the stock 2.73 gears to 3.55s, also added a drop-in filter and a MPT 93 octane tune. It's a fun car, second fastest I've owned once the mods were done. I could have been a nut and turbocharged it but decided that was throwing money away when the GT would have been a better option in the long run.

I'm just hoping the Infiniti lasts long enough until my Bronco shows up.
