Ok I just checked out those coordinates, and based on the USGS site that puts you about 10 miles south of Moloka'i. I would assume the water is pretty deep there, I dont know if a Snorkle would help.

That IS impressive.

I wonder where the "Mountain" is - Death Valley?

2010 Islander
3.8 L v6
4 Speed Auto ( not 5 like the dealer claimed)
3.73 Limited Slip rear Diff
Skid Plates
BF mud terrain tires
Rubi Shocks
Slush Mats ( Thats what sold me )
Power everything
Dual top Package
Tow package
Sirius Radio

This was a big Step up for us. I wish I could have Sprung for the Rubi, but it was just a bitt out of reach..


But tell me other than the Decal on the hood that I can remove in about 5 minutes What is not to like?

I think I got a pretty nice JK sport.

So please dont hate me for my sticker.... And I would still like to wave to all the Ultra cool jeep guys out there if thats ok

Sighned:

Living in JK Decal Hell... Ha Ha ha

Absolutely! Congratulations - looks like a good package. I like the Mountain version, too. They're both good packages with or without stickers!

I think it is a nice package for a stocker. not everyone wants or needs a Rubi, i think it's a good list of options. not a fan of the sticker, but i hate them all anyhow, pealed all mine off. Would have pealed the Rubi ones too had i bought one of those. I like the blue.

The sticker, I dont care for at all. It is actually outlined in that bright blue color and it looks retarded on any other color jeep.

We saw a white one at a dealership and the bright blue outline of the sticker and the bright blue inserts on the seats just doesnt look good unless the jeep is blue.....

Default Are we family???

sad to see so much hatred in this forum. it seems like everyone is hating on just about everything.. whether it be saharas, 2wd, non rubi, lifts, auto trans, we could go on all day. bottom line is everyone here is proud of their jeep..we should all just be supportive of each other and quit the negative feedbacks. we are losing many members from our criticisms.
