Wheeled mine about 3 days after buying it. This was my second rubicon so I wasn't scared to take it out. The guys on the trail thought I was crazy

I just spent about 30% of the payoff amount in upgrades, I am thinking about paying a significant amount of the payoff balance after I get my tax return



Hmmm, hemi swap, SC or big chunk of $$ towards loan payoff

I vote more mods!!!

This is in September of the year I bought mine ...



... and December of the same year ...



Note that these were in 2007--so all of the JKs you see were pretty much "new".

Mine has about 09 has about 8000 miles and I still struggle taking it on more than service roads. Wish I would have kept my TJ to beat on.

Mine is a 2010. Still making payments on it. Already lifted it and put bigger tires. I take it out on all the trails. Already have some rock rash on it and love it. New bumpers were just ordered. Thinking about doing the hemi swap this summer. It's a jeep thing! Some people just don't understand. Lol

I bought my '09 JKU in Sept of '09. In less than an hour I had it off-road. I'll be making payments on it for a while yet.....love it.

I purchased mine in 2007 so it is close to paid off. All of my Jeeps including my JK have been used for moderate wheeling. I have never trashed a Jeep because of off road use. Out of all my Jeeps I like my JK the best for both on and off road.
