Title: When did you buy your current Jeep?
Post by: tjsahara00 on October 19, 2017, 10:14:13 AM
After Ben had made a comment about 4.0 for life
made me wonder how long have you had your
Jeep or rig?

I bought my 2000 TJ on Christmas Eve 2003
it had 18k miles on it..... so almost 14 years

I bought mine in June of 2013 while i was at the beach. Saw the color and had to have it. Made the deal to trade my jeep over the phone on the way back from Destin. Picked up my old jeep and went and traded. I told my wife i was going to leave it stock....

2012 March.  I actually bought 2.  the 1st one was 2 weeks old and a lady pulled out infront of me in a benz. .. the jeep was a total loss so got the ticket.. but still sucked..., went back and found another base model a week later.  lost $ as the $ i put down was out the window.   but i got a better deal on my 2nd one, so it was close.

I bought my '11 JKU in '11, and sold in '15 when the CJ was close to completion. I bought the CJ in Dec of '13, right after moving to Augusta. I was going to restore it to cruise around town...

Bought my '03 in August 2011.  Sold my motorcycle to help fund the Jeep which I paid cash for.

Now if the question was when did you buy your first Jeep, answer would be 1980.

2013 Jeep bought used in Feb 2014. with 8,000 miles...I had no intention of keeping it stock. Blue is my favorite color. Go figure for a kid that grew up going to Catholic school wearing navy pants and light blue button downs.....everyday.

Bought ole yeller in 2000. Used with 15,000 miles or so on it. She is a part of the family now so will be passed down to my kids when I can't push the clutch in anymore  //;D// She will be 18 in December. Lots of memories and practically raised Briggs in it from the age of 2. No way I could sell her. I get too attached to vehicles which is a bad thing for some.

I ordered my '14 JKR in September of 2013 and it came in the week before Thanksgiving.  As of today it has 45,600 miles.  I wanted a green Jeep but they didn't offer any shade of green in 2014, so I saw the Granite Crystal Metallic on a Challenger and ordered that.  I had to sell my Silverado and Porsche before it came in.  Silverado sold immediately and the Porsche sold the week before the Jeep arrived.  I had $8k in parts sitting in the garage before it came in.  It only had 40 miles on it when I put the lift and 35's on it.

First Jeep - 2002 TJ Sahara, black, auto, dual tops bought used in 2002 w/6k miles on it.
Second Jeep - 2009 Rubicon, Detonator Yellow, 6sp, factory half doors.  Bought it in 2009 used with 1,600 miles on it.

I ordered it August of '12 and picked her up in October. Drove it home, woke up the next morning and drove to the top of Bell mountain. Sent pics to my salesman at Cherokee Dodge and he about lost his mind. LOL

My last one was purchased 4 or 5 years ago. It had 240k + miles on it. I've put 20k miles on it. DD it for 6 months. It will probably be my last one unless I find a sub $10k, 1 ton, LS V8, TJ. //:o//
Up until 2 years ago I daily drove some sort of Jeep for 20 years; TJ, MJ & XJs.

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...

Pics of the first day of pickup for each jeep below.

Bought my 2012 JKU jeep in late May of 2012 with 8 miles on it. The only option it came with was an automatic transmission. Even has the manual windows and manual locks. I bought the hitch and wiring harness weeks later and that was my father and I's first Jeep project.

Now its at 92k miles.

My 2011 jku was bought 3months after her build date (11/17/2011) which was Feb. of 2012. Just over 90k at present.

The 1995 Cherokee Country w/ “Upcountry” options was bought in March of ‘95 . Currently has 389,000 on her.
