So, I?m just over an hour from delivery of my new-to-me Jeep, so I figured it was time to start a build thread. Hoping Jeep #16 is the keeper I?ve been looking for.
2018 JLR with the 3.6 and the 6 speed
8,200 miles
Premium soft top, steel bumper group, LED package, cold weather package and a Warn winch.
A new job means a longer commute, and the LJ just wasn?t going to cut it. Plus, I wanted to focus on the Willys build, so I was looking for something that checked all the boxes and didn?t need anything? Well, right away, anyway. This was all that and more.
I bought it through Vroom. Experience was good. I?ll take delivery just under 2 weeks from when I finalized the order. I still haven?t driven a JL, so driving one for the first time with I met the 18 wheeler will be fun.
Plans are mild for now? A wireless CarPlay adapter, a satin black grille, a tow hitch and harness, and I?ll keep an eye out for a hard top. I?m planning on limiting it to that for the next year or so. After that, I?m looking forward to a mild lift and 35?s (or 37?s).
Needless to say, I?m pretty excited.
