Default A story on how I became the owner of my JK

A few months ago I purchased my Duramax. I loved this truck but it just wasn't a Jeep. I've owned a few TJ's and an XJ. The Duramax was ridiculous 14" lift with Fox shocks all around. 40" Toyo's on 22" wheels, chipped, exhaust, intake basically everything you can think of it had. I missed the way it felt to take the top off and doors and just go out. I got hurt a few years ago at work and ended up having to have another surgery (#3 now). So the truck was just too big for me to get in to. So I made a deal with a dealership and got this in return.

They paid off my fiance's 01 civic also.

My JK!! Love this color.


The car they gave us: B6 Ultrasport (I have a thing for Euro cars)


Truck that I sold:


The mods have already started, I have a new stinger and flat flares on it. The owner was an older guy who just used it to go skiing. Both vehicles are very clean!

Tires are 35x12.5x20 Toyo MT's, wheels Im not exactly sure what they are. I believe they're MKW? or something like that. The tires are brand new. Took them down to Schwabs and they measured them and said they only have a few hundred miles on them. Already have the 37's on the way. Should be here next week.

Will do, I have been stalking these forums for quite some time. The JK is by far the most comfortable out of all of my previous Jeeps.

I had a TJ Rubicon and wanted to get another one but there was no Rescue Green Rubi's in my area. So sacrificed some and got a Sahara.

Got some of my order. Here is a couple update pics:





New wheels and tires will be here by Thursday. Hoping that my new lift and shocks will be here by Friday.

Sorry for the crappy pics. It got dark really fast. Here are my new tires. The Rock Krawler lift should be here any day now.




Drilled some new holes to mount the PIAA lights. Didnt care for them on the outside of the bumper.

Thoughts?
