So I have always had a love of Jeeps. Started with CJ’s on tv as a kid and continued to grow. In 2010 my wife said no motorcycle but yes to a jeep finally. So I got a 2010 black JKU Sport. Had it for 11 years. No huge issues. Heater core and clock spring. Got bump steer early so I started upgrading suspension parts. By the end I went with 2.5 Tera Flex lift with their shocks, lower control arms, and ball joints. JKS front track bar, Rockjock drag link. Pro Comp 7069 wheels and Nitto Ridge Grapplers.
So this summer I started looking for a replacement. It started to get some rot near the rear flares and at 190,000 it was time. With all the difficulties finding vehicles this year I wasn’t optimistic but I started checking around. I was looking for a few specific options first and foremost a Rubicon. I had a few that I called about that sold before I ever got a quote back. I was looking for a Sting grey or a Sarge green. My wife was not wild about the green. She said just call us GI Johnston’s. I was finally able to track one down in VA. 4 hours away. I called and made the deal over the phone and drove down the next day. Traded my JK in at 190,477.
I picked up my 2021 Sarge Green JLR with 2 miles on it and drove the 4 hours home to go straight to an 8 hour midnight shift.
Haven’t made too many mods yet but I had the Wrangler sticker’s removed, polished, and ceramic coated.
Then Woolwax under coated. Don’t do it in that order. I put a Red Rock 13” antenna on it, added a 67 Designs phone holder, and a set of Husky mats.
Last thing completed so far was adding a Quadratec hitch. I have Rugged Ridge entry guards on the way.
