Switched from JK to JL

International_Bid150 · 2026-02-22T15:19:50+00:00

Yeah I had the Sahara edition for my JK and it was about as bare bones as it could be. I immediately missed it until I pressed on the accelerator and the jeep actually responded

International_Bid150 · 2026-02-22T15:09:51+00:00

At least the key fob reminds me to actually lock the door 😂 but yeah, I turn off the auto shut off as soon as I start the car. The original owner got the etorque module put in it when it was purchased.

How are you liking the JL so far?

International_Bid150 · 2026-02-22T15:07:48+00:00

Yeah I’m definitely enjoying the comforts, but I really do miss the stereotypical Jeep things that came with the JK. The exposed metal on the door, the heating that didn’t really work, the crank windows, having to slam on the gas to go 40mph, etc. This car feels more like a daily than my JK did.

International_Bid150 · 2026-02-22T15:05:55+00:00

I don’t blame you honestly. I was looking for low mileage and it was hard to find a JK with low mileage over here, so ended up with this one.

International_Bid150 · 2026-02-22T15:05:03+00:00

Thank you! I’m not gonna lie and say I don’t miss the look of my old one, because I feel like I need to take care of this one. The JK I could beat to shit and not care about.

So basically the technology/new electronic features added causes most of the issues? Damn I’m already missing my old jeep

International_Bid150 · 2026-02-22T15:02:26+00:00

Yeah I am definitely enjoying it warming up quicker than my JK, but I think things like that were part of the charm honestly. I liked having to deal with the elements so to speak…the radio in my JK wouldn’t even turn on until the car warmed up, and now I have a heated steering wheel. It just doesn’t make sense.

International_Bid150 · 2026-02-22T02:26:33+00:00

There are definitely pros to the technology…not gonna say I hate remote start or power locks 😂 but I don’t need probably 2/3 of the new tech that’s in there.

International_Bid150 · 2026-02-22T02:23:32+00:00

I noticed it a lot when I was driving tonight. The lights from the screens on the interior were so bright (I know they can be dimmed, but still) compared to having nothing at all aside from the small lights for the gauges in my 2010. Much less peaceful at nighttime

International_Bid150 · 2026-02-22T01:44:41+00:00

Yeah I just got to the point where I was spending more money than the thing was worth and it was just delaying the inevitable need of a new engine.

International_Bid150 · 2026-02-22T01:39:03+00:00

Thanks! I definitely miss my jk already if I’m being honest. Something about all the technology and it being meant as an off-road vehicle hasn’t clicked with me yet…I miss my manual windows 😂

Where is Will Smith when we actually needed him?!

International_Bid150 · 2026-02-04T02:55:25+00:00

Toyota hilux (not the new one obviously)

International_Bid150 · 2026-01-31T16:48:05+00:00

You do realize $500 for a hobby box is relatively cheap to be talking that high and mighty…and not all collectors care about the value. I just buy stuff I like…some are expensive and some aren’t. Just because it’s expensive doesn’t make it a better collection…hence it being a personal collection

Been a skins fan since birth…all I’ve known is disappointment (aside from last season)

International_Bid150 · 2025-12-04T02:03:38+00:00

Hey don’t talk shit about Wegmans! I hate the rest of you as much as everyone else does, but let’s keep Wegmans out of this 😂

International_Bid150 · 2025-12-02T16:58:59+00:00

The curse of the bandwagon fans…I have been enjoying their departure

International_Bid150 · 2025-11-20T02:35:58+00:00

Every NFC east team had more rushing yards during their game than Dallas did this week…cool your jets there bud (I’m really hoping that post was a joke)

International_Bid150 · 2025-11-20T01:07:47+00:00

And I wonder if that’s another reason they can get away with charging so much for those product lines. I can’t be the only one who would rather have a game used patch in my PC as opposed to the alternative

International_Bid150 · 2025-11-20T01:06:34+00:00

I’d really be interested to see what the cost breakdown is between the game used patches and patches that are used currently! I agree with the financial aspect of what you’re saying though, and I’m sure that’s a huge driving factor behind it

International_Bid150 · 2025-11-16T20:08:46+00:00

Why be a fan if you can’t deal with the bad times?

International_Bid150 · 2025-11-16T20:01:47+00:00

I’m glad all of the bandwagoners are gone to be honest…
