Thank you! Yes, I definitely am happy with it and wanted it for ages (Iāve got a whole Pinterest board for inspiration), I had a ā17 JKUR that I had to leave stock and when the opportunity to start over came along, I was focused on the wrap.I totally should have added the wrap to my early must do mods, that looks amazing and I like the idea that no one has the same color as me, or least has to put some effort in to match.
Iām very comfortable being unique. And itās easy to find in parking lots to boot! I agree with you on the mods. We all buy vehicles for different reasons but it has to be a good looking ride for me to own it. My opinion is: Jeeps are ugly unless you at least change the wheels and tires. I have had 10 Jeeps and my new Black Rubicon is a nice ride but was it ugly before I started the mods. The new Gladiators stock are BUTT ugly also. "JUST SAYING"
I am thinking of a wrap just to help minimize the AZ pinstriping that seems to be inevitable here. who did your wrap, and how happy are you with it? was it fairly reasonable priced?Thank you!

I hear ya. I just got it back from the shop today and I gotta say, it's looking good!
I've seen your thread in the build journal section. I've enjoyed following what you two have been doing with your jeeps. Very cool stuff!I DO NOT regret modding too soon. I bought $4K of mods before the Jeeps even came in - LOL. I regret not being born into a rich family.
Thanks Dave! Appreciate it broski!
This is exactly my mindset. I have a 2019 JLUR. I've taken it on several trails rated a 1 up to a 7. I started off on easy trails and soon realized my stock JLUR was keeping up with a JKUR with a 3.5 inch lift and 35in Nittos. I was happy with it. Since then, I've actually added more skid plates than anything because I'd rather protect what I have. (Yes I realize if I had lifted and put larger tires on I probably wouldn't need the extra skid plates) I also recently spent a week in Colorado at the All4Fun event and followed a 2008 JKUR on 1 ton axles and 40s up Wheeler lake. That's where I broke my rear bumper, so I now have a custom steel rear bumper on order with ACE Engineering. I also saw a need for new sliders because I almost put a rock through my door when my jeep slide down a rock. If I had wider sliders, I wouldn't have puckered so much. This also makes me wheel where I'm comfortable. If I were to upgrade everything at once, I'd be more inclined to put myself in a situation where I'd either damage the Jeep or possibly hurt someone. Slowly modding my jeep allows me to see the progression in its capabilities keeping me in check.Unless you are into the aesthetics thing.....do the mods as you find a purpose for them. It's much more rewarding to identify a problem and work through it than just blowing a wad of cash and finding out that you just made your rig un-driveable for the wife (at least in her perception...ask me how I know).
I tend to go slow on the mods and read about other peoples experiences first....living vicariously through their triumphs and mistakes.

Amen to that I mean I don't think the jeep is ugly hence why I own one first time now, however I cringe everytime I now walk out to my car and see the stock sahara wheels and tires considering im making all the smaller mods now ā¦ if I didn't own a house and have kids etc. I would have already bought the wheels, but they are expensive but I got my eye on the grapplers and fuel beasts and think im going 20s with 35s and 2.5" lift (one day anyway) ā¦.
