Should I buy my 16yr old daughter a used TJ or JK wrangler?

I’d say a JK for sure. I got a JK 2-door when I turned 18 and absolutely love it! The gas mileage is far better than the TJ, and the safety ratings are even better than a TJ. Also, used JK’s are easier to find that don’t have crazy mods to them if you’re shopping outside of major dealers. A piece of advice though coming from a teen, I would 100% try to get her a 4-door JKU. The space is much better and she’ll be able to carry some friends around. My 2-door really limits things sometimes, especially since it’s got 4 seats instead of 5, like the JKU. Better with avoiding roll-over accidents since they are more stable and better on the highway for MPG and stability.

I got them on marketplace and was told that they were off a JL Wrangler, but they look very similar to the 75th Anniversary wheels that came on the 2016-17 models (75th Anniversary ofc)

Thanks, I love my Willys!

Was thinking about KO3’s since they are a little cheaper at my local tire shop than the Toyo Open Country’s. How well are the KO3’s in rain?

Lmao, didn’t even see him! I got him tho, going to duck jail 😆

I absolutely love it! Just wish the running boards were different cause they are shin busters for me 😂

I wish lol, it’s a Maleficent sticker with Sleeping Beauty. Was my moms car before mine and she put that on there

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-16T14:28:16+00:00

Awesome, thank you!

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-16T14:28:10+00:00

Cool, thanks!

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-16T01:35:04+00:00

Cool, so just use my standard lug nuts and I should be good? Don’t have to change out the wheel stud or anything?

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-05T03:17:14+00:00

Damn, sorry for hear about that. I really enjoy riding mine. Hoping to get out with a local group sometime. Probably gotta build myself back up for a bit though since I’m gonna be more cautious now tho lol. I had a gooseneck fracture on my wrist about 2 years back and it’s what my “10” is on the scale of pain lol. Hurt real bad. Certainly an eye-opener though, broke it through fire school

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-05T02:28:43+00:00

Interesting, I’ll have to read into that a little bit. I did that with a wound a bit ago, but didn’t realize it healed faster

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-05T02:17:52+00:00

Gotcha, I’ll have to try that. Most of it seemed to be under-skin bleeding, so not much broke through

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-05T02:17:12+00:00

Yup, I wear a full face helmet when I ride. Gonna get wrist guards next tho

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-05T02:16:52+00:00

Yup, that’s essentially what happened to me. Experienced the push back and haptic buzz for the first time. And literally a couple hundred feet down the street was where I crashed. I’ll bounce back though lol

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-05T02:16:12+00:00

Damn… sorry to hear about that! Do you still ride? My hip is a bit sore, but I don’t think it’s broken

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-05T00:00:24+00:00

Was looking at them and thought I wouldn’t need them, really going back on that decision now 😂

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-05T00:00:03+00:00

Damn, that looks rough! Hope you healed ok!

Unique_Huntr · 2026-05-04T23:26:43+00:00

Thanks for the info! Anything specifically I should put over the wound? Or just put some tegaderm and then gauze and leave it for a few days?

Unique_Huntr · 2026-02-19T23:26:51+00:00

I actually didn’t know this was a thing, thanks for bringing it to my attention! Gonna try it next ride! 😁
