Nice! What's your plans for the JK?

Time for me too.

First, you have to decide what you want.

Eventually I'd like to get protection, a good suspension, D60s, and run 37s. It may take a few years and a lot of research before I decide how to get there, but that's part of the fun for me. 😁

I will be going with...



Protection

Air Source

35" tires

Gears

and

Lockers



Pretty simple build, but enough for its intended purpose.

Not yet. My brother is going to test drive my FJ Cruiser next weekend and may buy it. Once that is sold then I can order the JKU. Going for the base model Sport, white, manual, half doors.



Got a smog waiver on the YJ but I'll still need to get it to pass smog before I can sell it. Then I'll use that money to start building the JKU. I've owned the YJ for nearly 20 years so I guess I'm long overdue for a new Jeep. 😁

Whoa!! When did Kevin decide he was going to go with a JKU?



PM what you are thinking about price wise for the YJ. I might have a coworker that might be interested.

I noticed a difference between my 08 and my 00, so the 12's should have a super big improvement!

Slick and kudos. What was your previous wheel rig? Guess I missed that part.

This will not be my primary wheeling rig. this one is for daily driving, snow runs and some very mild wheeling.



IMy primary wheeling Jeep is sitting in the garage safe and warm:

Isn't it sad that Carl doesn't know you have a jeep. I think it's a sign you need to get out and wheel more. 😀

Hey, I used to have one of those "wheeling rigs" too! But now I'm down to one jeep...

Absolutely. No doubt about it. 😳

Good catch there Greg!!! 🍺



I'm just gl(s)ad the MW3 model was(n)t picked. 😲

Now that there is exactly what I need. That would make a "Jeep" guy out of me.

I see people do that to XJs all the time. 😁

Congratulations. Santa comes early.

Fantastic!!!

I love buying new cars. I've been contemplating selling my jeep for something new as well. I don't know if I'm ready yet though.

I've always been curious about new rig purchases these days...is there a tracking progress now? Like where in the assembly/build or whatever per day status? lol

Don't keep us in suspence. What did you order?

OH! I was curious what a "bumber" was. Figured it was some new fangled, off-road thingy. 😁
