If you still have this at the house can you post some more pics of it? I have been searching for a granite JL with the full machined KMC's instead of just the black with machined ring.I've worked for a Jeep dealer for 9 years now, owned Wranglers since 1997. I bought a 2015 Rubicon Unlimited brand new, in the last year I re-organized some stuff and I no longer drive my own vehicles to work. I came up with a brilliant idea after the 2015 sat for 6 months and I only put 100 miles on it over that time. Lets sell it and free up $450/month to pay off some credit cards!
So I sold the Jeep, paid off the loan and 2 credit cards, then this thing shows up as a trade:
Its not hard to get the wifes stamp of approval, she loves Jeeps. I drove it home just to "show" her, one ride in it and she says "we have to have this". Honestly, if it was stock I wouldn't have given it another look. I see them every day, drive them all the time. But the guy that owned this one put 5500 miles on it in 2 or 3 years, was only trailered and used as a rock crawler. Its funny, most of my customers would be worried about the history of a pre-owned vehicle and this one probably has one thats undesirable, but not for me. If something was going to break he would've done it.
It has a lot of extras, and I keep finding more stuff on it every time I look closer at it. I just need to find a set of Toyo M/T 40's for it again!
I am in Phoenix and will keep an eye out. I didn't get painted fenders b/c I knew I'd trash them on the trail. Went with black plastic and picked up an extra set from a guy who went to metal for $75. Now I have a second set to trash on the granite wallsAnyone near Phoenix looking to sell or know anyone selling some painted fenders?
Well... Just couldn't leave it alone! Added some slightly bigger rubber (315/70R17) and some new wheels. We'll head out tomorrow to get some better backgrounds for picturesJust picked up this 2021 3.0 today. Pretty impressed so far, and looking forward to the fun we can have together! I'll be honest, Granite Crystal wasn't my first color choice, but it definitely looks good!
Thanks, I have been looking for almost a year and they are tough to find and when I do find them someone else always beats me to them.I am in Phoenix and will keep an eye out.

I was actually thinking about powder coating the ring, but here are some more shots of itIf you still have this at the house can you post some more pics of it? I have been searching for a granite JL with the full machined KMC's instead of just the black with machined ring.

I hear that...but those scrapes we wear with pride right?I think that would look pretty good until rocks scrape part of it off hehe
My 97 TJ had a scrap on the top part of the tub that was pretty deep, of everything on it that was dented or scratched people always asked how that one happened. (was on 2 wheels going through a narrow canyon and scraped the wall)I hear that...but those scrapes we wear with pride right?
