If you really have driven a JL, the difference between a JK should be very obvious even with the doors and top off. We'll likely not arrive at agreement on that. You are right that some people have had steering issues but the majority have not. Out of the 4 JL's that drove, none had any issue. I haven't heard anything about bad frame welds other than some of the first year models having some issues. I'm not making assumptions because I've actually driven these vehicles and several of them.
At any rate, I'm sure those buying a Bronco will also experience a list of issues with the first couple model years. No manufacturer has ever been immune from that.
What difference are you referring to? Are you implying you have a superior open air experience with your JL compared to the JK? I sure hope not, because that would be funny. Keep in mind, my JK is a 2013 so it has the 3.6. Yours had the horrible 3.8 engine. Hopefully we can agree that engine was way underpowered.
I’m not saying the JL isn’t nicer, just not a vast difference IMO. What impressed me about Ford was they listened to complaints of Jeep owners. Seems like a basic concept, but Jeep didn’t do that. I think they knocked it out of the park. I’m not a first year buyer though. I’m sitting on the sidelines since there will be some first year issues for sure.
Vader, maybe there's a special version for Minnesota since you're blessed with nice weather (nicer than NC!) but this has been posted on the Ford website ever since the release. The base model has manual climate control. It has AC!
