Wrangler Unlimited advice

[Danny46]

ah, new one! That's good to hear. Were they offering the lifetime manufacturer warranty?

No, just a 12k mile electric, 36kmile bumper to bumper and 100k power train. Dude tried to sell me. All sorts of other warranties and such but I declined. But yeah she's brand new! First time I've ever rolled a new car off a lot. Got a great deal on it though and it's exactly what I wanted.

@BMCsean, first on the list is a roof rack (I do a lot of camping/hiking/photography. Want to get side steps and a front bumper with winch as well.

They sell some bad ass tents that sit on top of your Jeep.

That link is awesome, thanks man!! Gonna be pouring through that for a bit now. I love the idea of overlanding. We do it out of kayaks already, but I have been wanting to do a long road trip accross the US and photograph the national parks and various sights.

I bought a 2013 Rubicon 4 door. The 2012+ all have 285hp motors in them. Definitely read the jk forum, there is a wealth of info there. I have an appointment with Camoliner in Denton for mine coating the top and all. AEV hood, poison spider fenders and rockers, and lifted grill. Once that's done I'll throw a Metalcloak 3.5" Gamechanger 6pak suspension on it with some 35s.

As for suspensions...anything around or above 4" you'll need drive shafts. At least a front on a 4 door and both on a 2 door. Leveling kits to about 3" you're okay and a 2.5" will fit 35s.

Check out the Expedition/Overland Jeep thread at the JK forums. A wealth of information.

Any updates? How do you like the Jeep after a year of owning it? I'm seriously considering getting a Sahara or Sport Unlimited as my DD for the family since I have the green light to build a Cobra kit for my toy car.

Anything you feel is a necessary option? Do you like it as much as the day you bought it or more? Would you rather be driving something like a 2015 Mustang GT for a daily? Anything you'd change or do different?
