Sarge green was the only color I thought I wanted, until I saw a Snazzberry at the dealership, wow that thing was pretty, but it was too pretty and would not look as good dirty.

I love my sarge green but believe me...IT GETS DUUURTY! Those mud tires kick up some spray. Badge of honor

I hope so, I bet the green looks amazing with dirt on it. I've only managed to get mine dusty from some gravel roads at this point and it isn't the type of dirty I'm going for.

According to JC, I entered "shipping stage" today. Ordered 9/13.

Build sheet just showed up as well. As the Beatles said, "It's getting better all the time."

No apostrophe it’s Willys, pronounced Willis

Autocorrect, sorry !

 

[zouch]

yes

You guys have the tire fill assit app option?

Just curious as some seem to have it and some don't from what I've read.

and i have a set of springs from my Diesel available in the Marketplace.
nobody ever seems to consider these in their discussions; a little beefier to handle the slightly higher weight. (note that some of the weight difference of the diesel was related to the Dana 44 in the front which wouldn’t be weight on the springs.)
would probably be perfect if carrying a winch on the front.

Check out (https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...on-on-2-door-sport.40700/page-17#post-1705939). There is a good deal of talk about which springs to get for the greatest lift. I installed a set of JLUR spring on mine and got about 1.5 inches of lift. I recently put on a steel front bumper and winch and now have a bit of rake, so I ordered a set of JLURD spring (which should be stiffer and from what I understand taller). Once I get them, I will post on the increase in lift, and I will be installing my old springs on my neighbors JLUW and can report on that gain in lift as well. But in summation, all you need are the springs (I ordered mine from Mopar, so I knew they had no miles and were not abused at all).

It is a lot like 'gif' or 'jif' or 'Porsch' or 'Porsch-ah'. It could even be considered similar to some parts of the US saying 'pop' while others say 'soda'. There is the way the creator pronounced it and there is the way people started to pronounce it and were never corrected. Is one or the other wrong, not in my opinion. Personally, I am in the 'Will-eez' camp because that is how my grandfather and father pronounced it. Knowing both of them spent a considerable amount of time in them, I never questioned how it was pronounced.

No but my grandfather, a member of the 17th airborne, who was in the battle of the bulge and followed his howitzer battery into battle in a willys (willis) WAS LOL. You can mess with history in my kids schools, but don't touch my Willys
