    Manual JKU owner here. This thing looks even more of a hoot to drive. The roof is also droolworthy.

    The type of Jeep Doug would want to host on Cars and Bids.

    Same here! The 1 to 2 shift is clunky. I found holding the clutch midway before completing releasing helps a bit.

    I had a 1999 5-speed MT 4Runner, 4WD with rear lockers for 15 years and 120K miles, and I loved her. I considered her to be an unusually useful sports car. She was simple and straightforward and a joy to drive! New England rust finally claimed her, but as recently as 4 mos. ago, I took her on a 1K mile trip. There was never any worry about reliability, right up until a couple of expensive mechanical issues cropped up. If not for the rust, I would have fixed her, but I did do the next best thing. I sold her to an enthusiast who planned to rebuild her. He says he has done 10 of them, so it looks like my old companion will live again!

    It does look amazingly Defenderish from the outside. The interior is 100% Jeep. Not sure if that is good or bad. Neat concept though.

    This looks like something Arnie or Sly would have driven in 80's action flick. The Land Rovers and G63s are "higher class" and snobbish. Put those in Bond films.
    This Jeep is something that my 8 year old inner child would love.

    I live in a similar are with roads that get wrecked by Winter. I always wanted to get a wrangler so I don't have to worry about pot holes and they look great. Only issue I have trouble with is their ancient steering that feels horrible on the highway. I hope they do like the Ford Bronco in the next iteration and make better choices for the steering feel and road manners.

    Here’s a question about manual, is it bad to let the clutch out before the revs drop, when shifting. My car has some bad rev hang, will I slip my clutch if I re engage it before the rpm’s drop when going to shift?

    My boy said it won’t leave you on the side of the road like a defender. As a 2014 jku owner….oh it will…..my anti theft system schizes sometimes and won’t let me start, and my pigtail wiring harness on my starter wiggles loose and causes a no start no crank. Let me tell you, first time the starter issue happened it was 23 degrees and I just got out of my 9pm organic chem…I lost my mind scared. I live an hour and 30 away from campus 🫠
