I'd have kept the WK, I was doing good with it... until something bad happened to it. :( I miss it to this day. But this one is much more capable and fun. :) It does everything I want with NO excuses at all.

Would you like to e-lab-o-rate on this?

No. But let's just say that I now carry "Premium Coverage" that replaces all body panels WITH ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT PARTS and not cheap CHINESE bullcrap that doesn't line up correctly!!!!! It costs a bit more though... :(

Marlon, Jeepers spend half their life replacing all that OEM crap with good parts. OEM = low bidder, not best product available. :)

No, that's not what I mean, Don.

I mean aftermarket replacement parts were used to repair my Jeep instead of MOPAR parts. These do NOT line up properly, often are not straight, and have a tendency to rust just by looking at them wrong. You should have seen my driver's side rear door. The gap was ridiculous.

Not all after market body panels are cheap chinese crap, and OEM isn't typically known for high quality. Doesn't matter, sorry to hear that you had problems but you seem happy with your new ride so I guess it all worked out for the better.

Mopar parts are the exact same that are used from the factory so that has to be the best possible quality. Those were not used. I now have coverage that pays for that. I should have known this would happen by looking at the repair on my mom's vehicle.

My wife's car had OEM parts put on... the price tag for her repairs was NOT fun... thank goodness for insurance!
