2020 2dr Sport S - Ordered
Purchased a new 2dr JL hardtop sport. Only 3 were available in all of South Florida.
Hope you get yours soon.

What wheels are those? They look similar to the stock SportS wheels, but I don't think they are?
Maybe a different offset too? Also, are those Rubicon tires? Looks fantastic!

The new wheels and tires look amazing! How are you liking the Cooper Tires? Did you install a lift as well?
No lift needed. Just added 2” bump stops. I love the Cooper tires! I have 40” Coopers on my JK. They’ve done great for a couple years now!

Oh shit! First I’ve seen good job.. 2” lift incoming??
Eventually. I’ll likely just get spring and shocks.I’m just waiting to see more options for the 2 door. I already have adjustable control arms to add to her as well.
To be continued....

Well disappointed to report that the JL definitely has a steering/wandering issue. I’ve never owned any other vehicles in my life but Jeeps (I’m 43).... not sure what’s causing it but it’s not the PSI mine were 34 all around. Highly disappointed I’m at dealer now may not accept delivery
Sorry to hear that they haven't fixed that problem yet. Mine is better after lowering the PSI, but still wanders more than I'm comfortable with. Good luck!

Oddly enough, my Son had no real interest in driving and didn't even get his license until a few months from his 21st birthday.
That seems to be quite common these days for Gen-Slacker. Kids these days just have no initiative... Back in my day, if you didn't have a car in high school, you were guaranteed to have NO social life... There was no way you were going to be going out on a date with a girl if you couldn't drive. Ahhh... The ol' drive-in movie theaters... Those were the days...

Me thinks Vida will be topless this weekend! On the drive home Sunday, I had to slam on my brakes, harrrrrd. Even had to crank the wheel cuz I didn’t think I’d miss the moron in front of me who stopped short on a 45mph road. Ever since that happened, there’s something rolling around & rattling in the right side of the center bar above the pax seat. Anyone else come across odd sounds like that? It’s reminiscent of the shattered glass I used to hear sliding around in the frame of Sadie after the squirrel attack. I want to find what it is myself, versus handing it over to the dealer unknown. So daddy dearest has been forewarned that his help is needed.
And on that end, I’ve been debating pulling the trigger sooner rather than later on a Top Lift Pro....:movember:
