New Member NE Florida. Loving my new Jeep!
Wsup everyone? I've been lurking for a few weeks and thought I'd poke in and finally introduce myself. I've been wanting a Jeep for a while now and finally scooped up a new 2012 Unlimited Sport. Its going to be deployed mainly for Urban and beach duty with the occasional trail run for fun while doubling as a Bug out vehicle. Currently in stock configuration. We left the stealership around 1630ish and immediately went for a celebratory cocktail and watch a beautiful sunset with the freedom tops off. I must say that I love it so far. Plans are wheels/tires and tint for now. I'm going to be doing some research before on any future mods. Are there any free or cheap mods that I don't know of? Anyway, I hope to be around here often and look forward to meeting everyone. Here's some pics from earlier. Cheers! ATC

Welcome! I live in Miami Beach but my GF lives in Flemming Island. We were in Amelia Island a couple of weeks ago at the beach. This past weekend we went to Ponta Vedra. We spent part of Sunday driving thru the trails in the Osceola Forest. Next time I am up I will hit you up. I am up there all of the time. Let me know if you need any help or advise with any parts etc.

Thanks bro. I can already see this thing getting modded out. I almost took a job at Miami Center a few years ago. I like Miami but my family is up here. I'm gonna check out Osceola soon. Good stuff

Not quite sure yet. Im not planning on doing much off road stuff other than the occasional trail. I like the KMC Rockstar 20's with the lower profile Kumho. IDK man. This is my first Wrangler so I'm kinda over whelmed right now with all the options. I don't really want to go anything bigger than 2-3" lift. I like the look off the Jeep with huge lifts etc. I just don't see myself doing anything to justify spending a shit ton of dough for ground clearance.
