Hello!

I am new to the forum but not new to jeeps. I have always wanted a jeep but a handful of years ago i got my hands on a pretty forest green Sahara. I was very happy with it until my roomie got a 2012....... Then i had to trade my 07 Sahara in on a 2012 sport myself. What a difference in the power and overall feel of the vehicle! (Or i imagine it breathing in all the new car toxic fumes)

My Wrangler is a Silver Sport S with Hard top and such. 6 speed because i like manuals better. Did i mention it was really pretty and silver?


Picy was when i picked it up from tinting.

As for modding.. After 700 miles i have added the black plastic rubber entry guards. Oh and i got my windows tinted! I will likely end up doing some quality of life type things for it being a daily driver like upgrading the speakers and head unit. Maybe adding a sub if i can find a sub panel used or trade for the normal one. Maybe a skid pan and a little better tires. I would like to find a set of the rock rails that came on the Rubicons so i don't mess up my body. And will go from there I guess. As i save money and have time we will see how my jeep grows up.

I live in Parker Colorado.

Thanks,
~Feather

 

Nice ride!

 

Looks Good! Can't beat that new vehicle smell. When you going to get her muddy?

 

I don't want to do too much muddiness till i get a little better tires. But I might go drive some trails later on in the spring.

Maybe go for a picnic on Stormking.

 

First and foremost, welcome to the forum Feather!
Beautiful Jeep!
I have a 2012 Silver Rubicon Unlimited. LOVE IT!
This is my 7th Jeep. After running many different types of trails I've learned that I want to "try" to stay out of the mud as much as possible.
I've been to Moab and can't wait to go back. What are the trails you have ridden like in Colorado?

 

Ohhhhhh! I had hoped for some snow but the most i have done thus far has been driving around the farm. And dirt roads. I have not had much of a free weekend to go up into the mountains. A few friends and I were planning on doing some level 3/4 trails up west of Fort Collins sometime next month.

Old Flowers Road
Poll Hill
West White Pine Mountain

If that seems easy enough, our next trip is going to maybe hit something a little more exciting.



I don't want to do too much till i can afford some side protection and maybe some better tires. Keeping my eyes on craigslist list for some Rubicon side rail take-offs.

 

Awesome! Sounds like fun! It's nice to be able to go out on a relaxing day of trail riding and not have to worry about what you might break or bend huh?

 

Indeed. I don't need to break anything till i can afford to fix it. :3

 

I'm in the sane boat as you. I too am looking for a set of Rubicon take off tires and rock rails. You can get the rock rails for ~$100. And you should also look into buying a set of better springs and Rubicon shocks off someone, you'll gain 1-2" and ride will improve greatly with the shocks.

 

I will likely at some point later in the summer look for some Rubi shocks and some springs... i have already read all about them and i believe i can do that upgrade myself... And I would LOVE a rock rail takeoff for 100$... But will start asking around toward the end in the summer when i have a little extra money.

I have so much i want but i just have to wait till i find some good deals on things... I figure the forum here will be the best source of not only info and guidance but also, hand me downs for affordable prices!
