2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara - 1 Year

So, it has been a year now since I first drove my 2008 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara (affectionately named KD) off the dealership lot with 5 miles on the odometer. Boy, let me tell you, I have put some use to this Jeep over the last 12 months! I have driven back and forth from Jew Jersey to Michigan now 6 times, moved three people to new houses, and spend a bunch of time out in the weeds. I figure driving this Jeep now in excess of 15,000 miles that I had enough seat time to really know it well and give a good update.

Through all the brutality I have inflicted on this vehicle it has still never ceased to amaze me. I have fit more stuff and more people inside the cab, towed more and more weight with ease and grace, and punished it off-roading to the wooded trails in my home town. I have only gotten stuck enough to need help from another vehicle once, which my girlfriend came to my rescue in her 2006 Wrangler Sport. Nothing better for a guy’s ego than to get stuck and his girlfriend is the one to pull him out of the mud trench he found himself deep in.

I have been able to revisit trails I used to ride before my injury that I spent hours on horseback and dirt bike. I haven’t been back on those trails in at least 14 years and this Jeep finally opened that door for me again.

Beyond the off road ability of this Jeep is the on road comfort. I have put a fair amount of miles behind me and this Wrangler has been the smoothest ride of any Jeep, ever. I mean, it is no Cadillac, but you get the idea. When I am not towing or playing around in the dirt I still average 18 miles to the gallon.

I just can't say enough good things about the New Unlimiteds. I am impressed every day with everything I can do with it and how well it does it! If you want more information check out www.Jeep.com.
