Picked up the new girl today. this is my first new jeep. She has 6 speed, 3.73 gears, 17" alloys, freedom top with soft top in Mango. I asked you folks for your thoughts about buying this and I appreciate all your advise. The first 45 miles where great, hope the next 150,000 are the same. I will admitt I'm not over the sticker shock yet! I am sure a few miles behind the wheel will help me get over that. Stumper :2thumbsup:
Congratulations :highfive:
I know you've been around a while but welcome to that grey area known as the JK tech :wavey:
It's only taken 4 years for JK's to go from black to grey :laugh:
:tea:
Why are you buying 2011 JKs right now? The 2012 should be hitting floors in about a month with the new Pentastar engine and 5 speed auto transmission... Are there good deals to be had on 2011s?
I didn't get a huge deal I needed to trade what I had and this JK had averything I wanted. Finding a 6 speed with 3.73's was harder than I thought it would be. I also don't like buying first model year on any vehicle. Bad experiences! This is a tad under power but has great reliablilty.

Congrats on the new ride. I bought a mango myself in jan. Mine is a softtop 6spd with 3.21 gears. My only regret was that I couldn't find many with the 3.73 gears, let alone in the color I wanted. I didn't have the patience to wait..lol..this was my first new jeep purchase. Power isn't an issue for me, it does fine and I get 17-18 mpg with mixed city/hwy driving.
