I'm looking to get a JK but my question is do many people start modifying and start wheeling while they and are still paying monthlys or do people wait till they are paid off ? Because im planing to get a 2012 rubicon but don't know if I wanna go wheelin so soon ?!!!! a stupid question but it was on my mind ?

Thank Gunner

 

get it and wheel it , youll have insurance and for everything else theres mastercard , for real though you dont have to abuse it you can take it off road and let your conscience be your guide , i think just about everyone takes to the trails , thats why you get a jeep to begin with

 

Very true thanks

 

I do upgrades and payments at the same time. Just save up and plan out ur upgrades just right and u will be fine. Plus if u upgrade something try to sell the stock stuff, like stock wheels and tires or suspension or what ever

 

I may end up going with an 07 or 08 yr model

 

Bought mine through financing, and at 2 weeks old went wheeling with
stock everything. I have since lifted it 1.75 inches and made a few other
modifications all while still paying it off. I just ordered Ace rock sliders for
some protection to the sides and body as well as offering a step to assist
with entry,(for the wife) and I'm expecting them to arrive shortly.

So to sum it all up, Buy what you want. Pay it off however is best for You.
and make modifications to suit Your taste. You could wait to pay it off and
then make mods, but by then You will have lost interest and might even
be a bit resentful that You didn't do what You really wanted to do, when
You really wanted to do it.

Good Luck on Your purchase.

IMO; Your better off with the '08, as the '07's were a first year
production. a lot of bugs are fixed after the first year.

 

Thanks for the reply .. Great info
