HISTORY / EXPERIENCE / COMMENTS

Ordered June 12 2018, delivered July 31 2018. Driven and wheeled stock height for the first 2 years, then added the lift and larger tires. I still have a dead spot in my steering but it's not enough to make me want to bother with a dealer service trip to get the new box. It drives really straight and is planted on the road with this setup.

I've done all the work myself, and even though these modern Jeeps have a lot of complexity and electronics, it has been mostly trouble-free and easy enough to work on... even for a "shade tree" guy like myself. I hope to keep this Jeep for many more years and it's going to take me to AK and back soon!
