Very cool. My wife is actually pretty in to the jeep thing so maybe she can get the bug! My 2 year old hasn't stopped saying jeep since the test drive so he can help lobby for mods too, lol.

Ok guys, need your help again. I've got Nitto Terra Grapplers on my jeep they are 285 70s, and I am in the modding phase since someone rear ended me. What breaks do ya'll recommend? I've heard not to get the life time ones, because they wear out your rotors, so what are all of ya'll using?

Hey that's the same year of my last jeep! I just got my jk not too long ago up in Columbia, TN and they seemed to have had a good selection of new black JK's if you get tired of waiting on landers.

They make you pay when you register, or some dealers will collect the tax and pay Alabama for you

Also I installed a track bar brace and a water pump yesterday, a long afternoon but over all pretty easy to do,

And i ordered a new rear bumper that should be here friday

It matches the front and i couldn't build it that cheap

Columbia will collect the tax for you, but as a warning I just did my tags at the court house and the dealer under collected by $200 so if you go to Columbia expect to pay a little more on taxes when you get back.

Welcome! Glad to hear you are going to be a jeep owner again. I had to go through the same thing with landers about waiting on my jeep. My advice to you is make sure you look over your jeep to make sure they got you the right one. They said they had mine ready and we went to get it and it had none of the options I said I wanted (multiple times). Also be careful about financing I had my jeep for over a month and they said that they were going to have to charge me one percent more. I quickly went to another bank.(supposedly the guy that screwed up tho no longer works there) Barney ended up fixing everything he is the new car sales manager and is very good. I see him out in public and he still knows my name. Best of luck to ya!

Thanks... My jeep should be in tomorrow! Randy
listed off the options but I will definitely look it over, especially after your tip. I came to the table with my own lender. I don't trust dealerships to coordinate financing... Of course I will have to snap a couple pics to show it off if we actually get it!

Awesome! Yea that was the first vehicle I have ever bought. Live and learn though. My salesman ran off the spec sheet as well and I questioned him multiple times. So just check it and can't wait to see the pics!
