Hey Ed, it has been awhile. That is a nice looking MW3 they have parked out by the road. Go for it - you'll still have one arm and one leg left when it's all said and done.

Hi! New to the forum and the jeep world. Just bought a 07 unlimited x. Had a couple Cherokees but this is a totally different vehicle. Loving it so far. Have wanted a wrangler since I was like 8 lol. Well I'm in the fort Payne area till the end of the month then it's back to east Tennessee. Maybe we can hit a trail before I go back

where in East Tennesse are you headed back to? I grew up in Chattanooga and spent 4 years in college up in Johnson City and still have friends in Knoxville area. I'm up in E. TN a lot (johnson city, kingsport, elizabethton, and bristol) and do quite a bit of wheeling up there. Let me know where you're going and we could arrange a ride sometime.

Good luck on the trade. Make sure you use lube before they bend you over.
Besides you can upgrade a Rubi a lot cheaper than buying one of those.

What did they do to you? Please consider sharing your concerns/reservations re Rocket City OR, and remember just the facts Ma'am, no emotional outbursts (with that new young'un you need to practice being unflappable).

I would also personally choose this route as one would possibly have better options with regard to lift, tires, wheels, etc. However, if someone wanted to "incorporate" the costs of aftermarket mods into the purchase price, then that nice MW3 might be the way to go.

You'll only be roughly 30 minutes from Coal Creek Off Road Park (just to the west of Knoxville near Oak Ridge) you lucky dog, not to mention within a stone's throw of the Smokies. Have fun.
