I ordered my JLR mid Feb and it arrived the last day in March. Right off the back we took it off-roading to break it in correctly. I haven't owned a jeep since my TJUR was stolen 10 years ago but recently had to urge to go of road again and go places where my truck cant.
First off stock it exceeded all my expectations, after a few weeks I started throwing money at it. First off was getting all the trail stuff, hi capacity air compressor, recovery strap, tow strap, hitch shackle, tool kit, flash light, gear bag and coffee can with toilet paper. After my second trip out a noticed the antenna was taking a beating at times so I got a short stubby antenna to prevent breaking it at the base. Shortly after that a reckless driver on the freeway took out the car next to me and bounced him into my passenger side. Fortunately their insurance company accepted full responsibility and paid me out to repair it. Spent the next 2 weeks waiting on parts so I took my dash apart to color match it as well. Well I decided to do some airbrushing as well since the right side airbag cover looked like a blank canvas.
I also found some wheels I really liked, American Racing Patrol's to mount my new Mickey Thompson Baja Boss 35's. These are a new tire for M/T and I have a few contacts at M/T and I was talking to one of there tire engineers about this tire at SEMA last year, it was to be released this March so since I have really liked the M/T Deegan 38's on my Duramax I would give these a shot. The engineer had told me that these mud terrains were designed for max off road performance while providing long life, smooth ride, great handling and minimal road noise. They haven't dis-appointed, after 600 miles these are awesome and not any louder than the stock BFG's.
Next up will be the lift kit, exhaust, air intake, skid plates, bumpers, winch, lighting, clutch upgrade and finally when it gets released a Magnuson's supercharger.
Stay tuned, the goal is to get it all done by the end of the year.
