I knew you were a fan as well Gavin and don't blame you. CO makes you want to go outside and enjoy life. The opposite of central IL!

. A new red is called Lobster something. I believe the loud azz color of Gecko Pearl (florescent green/yellow) is discontinuing as well as a forest green color.

Good luck Steve and enjoy the Jeep! Keep us updated with pics of it's upgrades. I just don't believe you will keep it stock. It may be what you are honestly intending, but in the end, it's going to get modded. Anyway...good luck.

. To be honest, I am a little pissed Carli doesn't make a Jeep lift! Of course, I have been "looking"
I really want to get up there and visit. The wife and I thought real hard about it this summer but knew the fun would be modified due to a bum shoulder. Thanks for the open invite bro, I really appreciate it

I always laugh when I see a jeep with stock wheels/tires, no lift, and the silly snorkel sticking up by the passenger window.
I get it, snorkels are important, but that can't be the only mod.

Sorry to see ya go, but sometimes you have to do what makes you feel better. If I had to worry about my ride every time I go in it I would be miserable. Good luck with the newride she looks really sweet!

congrats on the new jeep - one word of advice if you plan on putting it in 4X4 mode, go to your dealer and get the parts that break when you put it in 4X4.
They will know what parts you need.....
I have a wrangler that I had to crawl under this weekend and jam it out of 4X4 at the transfer case.
When I asked the service guy about it, he said there is no upgrade for the broken part, and serious 4 wheelers carry spare parts.
oh, and it takes a slide hammer to get the ***** off - replace that cheap plastic junk while your at it.
other than that, you'll love the jeep.

Believe it or not, most of those people actually use them for exploring, the same as the Land Rover Discovery's are used. I see so many lifted Jeeps by me that appear to have never touched dirt it's unreal.
I was freaking a bit after that incident for sure. I also came to the conclusion I no longer needed her and my kids were happier to see a Jeep where we could do top off fun. After all I live really close to the Badlands and there are quite a few spots I can take the Jeep, not as many for that giant F250.
After driving the Jeep for a few days, I feel like I am getting hybrid gas mileage compared to my old F250 LOL. I was wondering if the gas gauge was stuck on full!
Not a creak in the body, ride is great, stereo is amazing (Alpine Nav with woofers tweeters etc), it's been a lot of fun.

She is built pretty tight being a Rubi, I also have a 100K warranty and Sat Nav assistance if needed
