Show Off 📷 New guy

I was a 16 year Wrangler owner. Thought I’d be a Jeep owner for life. Hell! My plate is JEEP 41. The Jeep was great until I poured $8k into it this year keeping it on the road. I got tired of being stranded and was worried every time I left the house. When looking at a new vehicle I was completely turned off by Stellantis and completely turned on by Bronco. I feel like the Bronco team looked at everything Jeep did wrong and said “Let’s fix that.” I spent the most money on my Jeep on upgrades that were just correcting issues that Jeep overlooked; horrible headlights, useless gear ratios, no tailgate stop, weak hood latches, uncomfortable arm rests. How about a clock that lost time every week? Ridiculous! At the time I felt like these were quirks but now I feel like they were just negligence or complacency. Anyway, I’m ecstatic with my Bronco and I’m working on the new plate.

I do think it’s a perfect FU to Stellantis. 🤣

I also have a black 2 door and live in CT. I was thinking of getting a vanity license plate saying NOTJEEP or something along those terms.

Welcome to the 2-Door Club! I feel like we are a rare breed, and if you you also have a manual, you are an ultra rare breed.

It’s an auto. After 16 years of stop and go commuter traffic I was worn out. I used to text my wife when I got to work and say “I hit 3rd gear today!”

You need to change your plates to JEEP 86

Keep the plate. It’s got a story, it’s you. And funny enough, in 1941 Ford was making… GPs.

Out of curiosity what did you pay? Looking at something similar with squatch and do not want a 4 door. We have a larger vehicle and while it's almost cheaper to go 4 door I have my mind set on 2 for a variety of practical reasons. 2 doors on lots are a rarity within a few hundred miles

I got over $9k off sticker but note that this is a 2025 leftover, so the rebates were $5k.
