Hey Everyone. Spent the last 3 months trying to find the perfect TJ. Couldn't find one so last week I brought this home:






2009 x S Package. My second wrangler, 3rd jeep.

The plan is for a set of 285/75s, maybe a BB if I have to.
Not going to be a wheeler for quite a while, I already have an XJ built for that.

also... i see you're from my home state! I grew up in the town of Union/Appleton

I dont have many pics of it, is a work in progress. Well suited for the back roads though.







Im up in the Farmington area myself. Most of my wheeling is done up on the back roads Rangeley north.

Default Better off

Did the same thing, looked for a 2006 Unlimited, for a few thousand more and 0 % financing (operation bail-out Chrysler), I'm glad I got the "JK". Miss the black after seeing yours, enjoy.

Exactly, couldn't find a TJ worth my time for less than 15K, got the JK for 20 and is brand new, warrenty etc.

Plus I wont have to lift it for 33s, I was going to BB a TJ for 31s or 32s.

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Thought the same, happy with my mild lift with 33's.
