Default New Gecko owner!

Hi everyone, I'm Cody and a friend of mine told me that this was the best JK site on the net. I purchased a new 6 spd '12 Gecko Sport today, traded my '11 Z71 Sierra for it straight across and took advantage of Tread Lightly & the 0% for 36 months(which is how long I financed it for, pretty stoked to be only 22 and qualify for 0%) ...couldn't be happier! I have a hard time keeping anything stock and enjoy spending time on forums(which will make me want to mod more), but I am going to try and not get too crazy with this thing as it is my DD and I already have too many other money pits. Anyway, here is a picture ..pretty basic, nothing special but it will look a lot better soon. I cannot stand the wheels and tires, and will probably order some tonight if I can find something I like. Anyone have any recommendations for 15-17's ..both wheels and tires(AT, maybe MT's)? Thanks, look forward to hanging around this place!

May look a little dirty to be brand new but I am picky about how I wash my rides and requested that they not touch the exterior. I had the coolest salesman who told me that I made a good decision, because they are a 5 star dealer, have a 5 star service department, 5 star sales team, and a 5 star facility ..but for the life for them could not wash a car properly lol. Loved the honesty, pretty rare at a dealer!

Welcome to the forum!! Love the choice in color! Reminds me of the Charger from Dirty Mary Crazy Larry. Color combination really goes nice with your fenders/bumpers! Lol yeah dont get why jeep puts those tires/rims on the sport model, they know almost everyone replaces them!

Matter of fact I did, pretty easy to deal with ..you must be familiar with them?

Thanks for the compliments everyone, would love 35's but will probably stick with 33's, don't want to kill mpg too much.
