1st jeep it is a 2012 JKUR 6sp.
Ordered it on August 26th and picked it up on October 17th with just 3 miles. Now has 4200+ and I have a few mods already
1st mod. Rugged Ridge light bar lowered 1 1/4 and add some tube clamps, w/ipf lights for the windshield along with s....pod
2nd. Ipf lights for the bumper and I made a custom bull bar.
3rd. (my favorite) aev 3.5 sc lift with treaflex 1/2 spacers & 4.5" bump stops in the rear. Along with aev's tire carrier. A new pair of shoes, Mickey Thompson classic lock black wheels on 37"BFG km2's.
4th. Aev hood (a tree few on my jeep so I decided to upgrade)
That's where the JKUR is now and at less than a year old I think it's going well.
Some pic's on the JK in its home.

Love mine. At this point it would take a lot to get me to change to any other vehicle.

Hi Maverick. Glad things are going well with your JK. Unfortuneately, mine has started to tick at 2463 miles. I thought I'd heard it last week, but didn't want to believe it (hoping I wasn't another Jeep hypochondriac). My husband is going to take it in tomorrow. No CEL, but I've never gotten more than 15.9 MPG which isn't good; especially since I have no lift and am running stock tires.

Keep us informed as to what they find. Yeah 15.9mpg is below the minimum stated mileage right? (16-21 per the window sticker). I've been averaging around 18mpg (combined) with most of that being stop&go driving... so maybe the poor mileage is another indicator of the tick issue? Wasn't there others with the tick issue who mentioned low compression issues? That might be another metric to track on your spreadsheet... ie the mileage people (with ticking issue) are getting on average.
