Departed the Camaro family.

SimpleGreen · 05-02-2016, 12:07 AM

Well after four years of owning 5th gen Camaros, two in a 2012 1LT and two in a 2013 1SS/1LE, I left the circle. Friday I traded in on a 2016 Wrangler. The 1LE just wasn't working out for mine and my girlfriends desires anymore, and I guess sports cars were never truly in my heart. I grew up in a 4x4 as a baby and never had one despite dreaming of them as a kid. So, the time was now! I loved both of my Camaros but now it's time to try another side of life! I have only put about 250 miles and I've already place an order with Quadratec for parts.

Nice looking Jeep , have fun with it .

Looks like your Jeep is afraid of that Mustang.

Lol I went the other way. I hated the gas mileage and constant working on my Wrangler

I'm confused as to why you can't have a jeep and a Camaro at the same time? Love the color though.

Your 1LE was the first 1LE that I saw on the road! Remember to take it easy in the corners now. Congrats on your new ride!

Wasnt interested in having two car notes. I didn't do much of anything with the Camaro anymore anyway.

But if I get the itch again...I will just come back with a 6th Gen....

Is that package just stickers and wheels, or does it have any go anywhere goodies like a locker?

No lockers. It has a (sort of) limited slip Jeep calls Trac-Lok in the rear diff only.

So the Willies packeges comes standard with Trac-lok? So the Rubicon is still king as far as serious offroading goods go?

Out of the box, yes. Electric lockers and push button swaybar bar disconnects. The transfer case is geared different than the Sport and Sahara.

Now if you want to get a Sport and build your own the sky is the limit. For instance, aftermarket air lockers are way better than the OEM Rubicon electric lockers which can be fragile if hammered on hard.
