I ordered my first Jeep late in 2011 - a 2012 JKU Sahara. Picked it up in Feb 2012. First off road experience was in Oct 2012 at GATRFest at Gulches. I was hooked and quickly realized I had may too much money tied up in the the wrong JKU (should have gotten a Rubicon) to be wheeling it. I decided to search for a TJ and sell the JKU.
Found my 2000 Wrangler in August 2013 and sold the JKU shortly thereafter. The TJ has been a fun 4 years so far...
