In the end, I decided I wanted a JLU Willys 4 cylinder turbo, 10 speed automatic in Sting-gray (color) with black cloth, cold weather package (heated stuff), convenience package (buttons for garage doors and stuff), towing package (for a receiver hitch, I'll never tow anything with it), Safety group (blind spot alert and stuff) and last but not least the premium audio package (big screen, big sub, big amp, nav and a sound system you won't believe comes stock in a Jeep). We'll all laugh about covid times some day. In fact, in this strange time known as Covid times I would've paid MORE than the price of a new one for a used one. I couldn't find one with nearly all the options I wanted for less than the price of a new one. I had the money but the market couldn't produce. This is what I wanted, new car goodies combined with a Jeep.

This is a new vehicle, full of new vehicle tech. I've had about every model since the 80's. My last JKUR was great but suffered some maladies I couldn't forgive. I've been intrigued by the JL since my buddy bought one. That means get in and go reliably and efficiently. That means no fiddling with dad's electrical systems, swingout spares, boxes, bags and jacks and gear and buttons and switches. This new vehicle needed to get through a couple more years of mommy duty. Very old house with a low basement garage but the lady of the house does not like the idea of giving up a cushy SUV for a big lifted overlandy thing that has to live outdoors. This new vehicle needed to fit in her spot and her spot has a 6" garage door. The dash was wrinkling, the fuel mileage was awful and the thing has less cubbies and creature comforts like cup holders than any vehicle built since 1980. We were woefully unimpressed with her WK2 Grand Cherokee after just a few years. I will explain in my typically verbose way. I guess I'm not immune to the silly way we name vehicles these days, and I needed a title, so here we have the Oversleeper.
This Jeep is literally a sleeper, driven by the daily need vs. I hate these trendy titles but I suppose what I like to do is overland, however I despise what has become of the term 'overlander'.
