[PLaz]

Just lowered it a Skyjacker kit.

Oh no. So sorry. Did you lose a bet?

Well….if you’re gonna do it, then DO it …?

It seems this would be a nice option for people with mobility issues. Hopefully, this makes it easier for a person to get in and out of the JLU.

If you have mobility issues as far as vehicle entry, I’d argue you picked one of the worst vehicles on the planet. I can’t think of a stock vehicle that would be harder to get in and out of and you can absolutely right off accessing the back seat. Even if you need an off road capable suv, this is one of the few cases that even the bronco is better than the JLU.

I 100% disagree with that. The bronco sucks to get in and out of for people that have physical limitations. The JL/Gladiator has more headroom than a sedan. It has grab handles, and once it's lowered, the step in height isn't an issue. My dad has leg problems, and when mine was stock, all I had to do to easily get him in was slide the front seat backwards.

My wife has a crossover. The low roof height/tall seat makes it harder for him to get in, and unibodies have a bigger lip to slide your legs over to get them onto the carpet.

Also, more people buying Wranglers allows Stellantis to continue to invest in the platform, ensuring we have a JM that isn't a renegade or an outback.

Paint the tow hooks white

Also, the factory High Altitudes come with 20x8 and they are already black.

The red gives it a pop of color and yeah I’ve been looking around for some of the high altitude 5 spokes not a fan of the snowflake ones

Just saw you're in Omaha. Add a little more husker red somewhere and it'll be perfect.

I don't understand why "my girlfriend wanted it lowered" didn't end with "so now I'm single" or at least "so we traded her JLU for a Pacifica".

Don't believe the OP mentioned mobility issues, so not saying it was part of their decision to lower. However, I know a few people with different types of leg/strength limitations that absolutely love Wranglers and want one.

I'm thinking why not. If they want a Wrangler, they can make it more accessible for their mobility needs.

I've been confused ever since "my girlfriend wanted it lowered" didn't end with "so now I'm single"...

No it’s her Jeep I just did all the work

You're making this worse LOL

Just kidding, man. To each their own.

No mobility issues just wanted something different than every and every other Jeep around where we like is with stock or lifted so why not do something different. It wasn’t bought to go off roading and trails etc as my girlfriend put it it’s a “pavement princess”

A lowered Jeep deserves a rainbow unicorn duck.

This looks like a yawning bear. I'm gonna see this in my sleep. Why...why'd ya have to post this...

I agree, should have just bought the 2wd version and really made it low. The lower kit you put on does not make it really low enough to notice it has been lowered on purpose. Not hating at all, each their own and all that matters is that she is happy with it. With that said, get smaller wheels and tires and really slam it!

I did before and after measurements and it was lower 2.5 in the rear and 2 in the front. I think it’s difficult to tell in the picture though
