Correction... SHE got the Yellow X . She said she didn't want one that she can't get into .

Mods? First mods would Tags, Tax and Title/Registration in a month. Second mod would be 1st Payment, 3rd mod would be 2nd payment, and so on .

But, on a serious note, it needs a new soft top and some bodyshop work around the tailgate area because the previous owner had no clue on how to operate the soft top and slammed the tailgate shut with the rear window bar stuck between the tailgate . It was cheaper for me to get it fixed at the bodyshop myself rather than have the dealership do it before I bought it. So, it'll be going in to get that fixed here soon. Next, I have found a new soft top from a member on another forum that I can buy for $150.00. But it's in IL - so, maybe have to try and figure out just how far a drive it will be and see if it'll be worth it or not. Then, the driver side seat adjuster latch is broke as is the passenger side seat recliner - so those will need to be fixed. It has Rubi sized 32" tires, but the stock X sized 29" spare - so, I need to get me a matching rear spare.

Once the little grievances are fixed, probably do a Teraflex 2.5" BB or a leveling kit. She doesn't want it to be too high or go with huge tires. The tires on it are fairly new - so it'll last a good 2 or 3 years. At that point, I should have mine paid for and probably do a 33" tires.

Thanks Jason, but I still have my stock Sahara Unlimited Springs and shocks. I would love Rubi shocks and Springs though

Awesome . From what I heard, Rubi Unlimited springs and shocks will offer some height advantage - so this in conjunction with a Tera leveling system might be all that's needed. So yes, I'd love to have those - let me know what you'd want for them

doesn't sound to bad, and there are a lot of resources for parts here and there. I will keep my eyes open for a 2 door soft top
