Looks good OP. I have had lots of Jeeps over the years (10+). Not a big fan of the JLs. Had a '22 JLU on order exact same equipment & options as our '16 JKU that we purchased brand new. The JLU was $18k more expensive than the JKU, and that was at 2% below invoice pricing. The JLU was built but then sat in Jeeps transport parking lot for 3 months, so I told the dealer I pass. Prices keep going up, they appear to be using cheaper materials each generation, and Jeep dealer service is just as bad today as it was when I got my first Wrangler Sahara in 1994.

That said, my son turned 16 this week and can now officially drive his '03 X that we picked up 2 years ago for him. Love how easy the TJs are to work on. We just finished refreshing the entire suspension. He added new wheels & tires, we added a heated seat kit. Next is a full exhaust system that is sitting in the garage & we're going to pick up a soft top. No pointless tech, no software issues to deal with, just pure, uncomplicated top & doors off fun.
