Wrangler JL Sport 2dr
One week in to owning my 2020 Wrangler JL sport 2dr and am excited to share progress. Picked it up with 10k miles from a Ford dealer about 6 hours away. I've previously owned a 1989 YJ and a 2015 2dr JK sport. I sold the JK because with the tall gearing it was a slug where I lived in Cali and I decided to get rid of the payment as I had just got out of the Marine Corps. 6 years later and I am happy to be riding in a wrangler again!

The pup did great on the ride down and back and everyone at the dealership loved her!

Immediately had to order some floor mats, entry guards, and seat covers. I also quickly ordered and installed the Alpine sound system upgrade (a little pricey but definitely happy with it).

Nifty accessory mount from amazon that works great with the ram mount.

I am set to drive a couple of hours away and pick up a barely used Rubicon JL 4dr take-off suspension for 200 bucks that should give me a couple extra inches but only planning on running 33s. One week in and I might need to slow down to I'll be selling my house to pay for goodies. Excited for the camping/hunting adventures to come and just wanted to share some of it! I'll be seein' yall!

Black and tan looks so good. I've got a Sarge Green with tan top on order.
I would have been tempted to go with this color scheme if I had ordered mine! I bet it's gonna look great.

Just ask @cosine he knows!
Congrats, looking like you're not wasting any time. Even though us sporties all have the tall hwy gears at least the 8AT makes them hum along a little better!

and here's my install thread if you haven't seen it for the Rubicon swap and the longer Mopar lift LCAs to keep that caster happy :)

Followed your post step-by-step today and put on the rubicon shocks and springs. Ran out of daylight for the lowers but they'll be going on asap. Thanks for everything!

Looks great. I wouldn't waste time on the lowers. They're the same. What I would look into are the mopar extended lower control arms. They'll help correct the caster and drive better.

I should have clarified - I bought the Mopar 2" lift lowers. Just gotta put em on ?
