Default Paid Off!!!!

Last night I paid of the Rubicon!!! I cannot tell you how good it feels.

My wife and I sold both our vehicles (Nissan Titan and Mini Cooper S) when we left for Korea in July of 2006. Once here I ordered a 2007 Rubicon Unlimited from Aafes Overseas Military Sales. I was able to get a 5.13% loan from Bank of America on a 3 year loan. Well I have had the Jeep since FEB of 2007 and paid it off early.

The wife and I are heading back to the States this Summer to Fort Leavenworth and couldn't afford a second car payment over the Jeeps $600 a month.

It is amazing how much money you can save when you live overseas on a small compound with very little to do.

The only sad thing is there are no good places to wheel here so, I basically have a virgin jeep. I can't wait to break her in when State side late this July.

Anyone know some good places to wheel in the Leavenworth, Kansas area?

Congrats on the payoff, that's always a good feeling. I've never been to Kansas, so no idea on wheeling, try not to run over Dorthy or Toto.

Congrat's on the pay-off. Now, discipline yourself to keep paying that money into a stock mutual fund and in about five years you can go back and pay cash for the vehicle outright. That feels even better!

As for off-roading in Leavenworth, I don't know. But, Disney, OK is only four hours away, so keep an eye out for the next JK-Forum run there:

I hear you about no place to wheel here. I bought an 08 Rubi while on leave and shipped here after one week. It arrived on Dec 24th and I have put a total of 600 miles since then. But I love it!

There is Tuttle Creek ORV area over near Randolph, KS. It's a 310 acre area maintained by the Corp of Engineers. I'm not sure how far it is from Leavenworth...maybe a couple of hours? I've not wheeled there but my nephew did when he was stationed in KS.
