So I have some pictures but I suppose it is time to document what I have accomplished between deployments, moving, and a short tour. Little background, my wife was driving a loaded 2007 GMC Yukon and got the jeep bug. So we searched the local dealers and she found this 2010 Deep Water Blue Rubicon and just had to have it. So we looked at the numbers and was satisfied, signed the paper work and came home with "her" jeep!
We gave the blingy wheels back to the dealer when they sourced a stock set.
After that we just enjoyed the jeep life and drove it stock for a long time. Fast forward to July 4th 2012 time frame I finally talked her into hitting up Moab. She youtubed some stuff and since people usually don't video the "bunny" hills it was a hard sell. I was able to close the deal and made the hotel reservations!
My wife was excited after the trip and wanted to go again. I then got her sold on the idea of things to make the Jeep better and allow us to do more and harder trails. Well I was due to deploy for a few months so we saved up some money and we talked about what we (she) wanted. She was able to get a front/rear eBay special bumper set, winch and a few little girly doo-dads. I was then able to talk her into the wheels and tires with a cheap budget boost for now. Knowing all to well that a 3" or 4" Enforcer would be in the future. The cost of it is affordable today, but I know I would want tires, gears, drive shaft also at the same time would make the cost out of the budget level. I know I wouldn't be able to let the lift sit there in the garage awaiting... So the stuff she bought arrived and had a friend take it to his house and install it all.
I came home and was excited to have these items. I know they aren't the worlds greatest, but for our daily driver/very seldom wheeler they work and keeps her happy. Time for another go at Moab now and flew my folks out to join us also.
Believe this is Top of the World...
Well, as I told her before we went out. The tires are going to rub a tad bit... So when we got home I showed her various flat fender upgrades and different chops online. Told her if she didn't like the chop (free'ish) job we would buy fenders she liked.
This is basically how she sits today. Since I am 48 hours roughly from leaving South Korea, got taxes back, and saved a few bucks. I just bought the new heated TurckLites, and a Trek Top NX from northridge4x4! So I am excited. I have a few things I would also like to get, mainly new skids for the underside and possibly some D2's for the A-Pillar... New pictures to come in a few days if the weather holds of in Utah so I can do the top!
