I just picked up my Jeep today. Whoohoo!
Some would call this a “mid-life crisis”, but if that were so then it would be red, two door, and look incredibly like a Miata. No, this is “delayed gratification”. I’ve only wanted one since I was 11. (Possibly earlier, but the first I recall wanting one was when I was 11.)
The old 1999 Pontiac Sunfire has served well, but it’s dying now and it was time for a replacement that would serve Jean and I better for pulling the boat and taking trips where we need a vehicle with more room. Then I’m blessed with a wife that’s encouraged me to get a vehicle I’ve always wanted and that will make it easier and more fun to pursue my hobbies.
Basics:
- Year: 2015
- Model: Wrangler Sport Unlimited
- Color: Tank Green
- Roof: Hard Top
- Wheels: Dealer upgrade to black 17″ wheels
- Tires: Dealer upgrade to Wrangler All-Terrain 245/75-17
Plans:
Getting a soft top and some tube doors are the only big items planned. My activities don’t require that I trick it out with all sorts of fancy off-road stuff. But I will tweak it with a number of smaller and lower-cost modifications. I’ll post the modifications as I make them.
