Here’s My New Wrangler!

[Jason in DLH]

A few months ago I had bid you all farewell as I prepared to sell my ‘07 Yukon to get a Wrangler.

A few of you wanted pictures when I finally got it. I ordered it 6/23 and the dealer just received it and installed a 2.5” lift and swapped in 35x12.5 tires just yesterday (usually I perform all my own work, but just simply wanted it done so I could enjoy it right away!). The salesman will be delivering it right to my driveway himself (160 miles drive!). I feel like a kid again with the amount of excitement (so this is what a mid life crisis feels like).



Here’s some random specs for the interested:

2021 JL Unlimited Rubicon
-Stock 4:10 gears (shortest gears I’ve had)
-3.6L “eTorque” V6 (apparently it doesn’t use an alternator)
~290 hp (my old ‘93 Wrangler had 190, so I’m stoked about this)
-The hardtop has a soft top in it that retracts fully to the back
-33x12.5x20 BFGoodrich Mud Terrains
-20x10 -19mm Ballistic Wheels

I’ll post up some pics of it flexing once I get my hands on it.

Well, miss you all AND this forum and hope life is treating you all well!

ps…where did all the smiley face things go?

They certainly look better and have many new features now that they are under new ownership. Any plans for trail riding and such?

Congratulations on the new ride! Weird there's no alternator. Have any interior shots?

Nice looking Wrangler! You definitely got the perfect color!
Congrats.

I plan on taking it off-road on day one of receiving it! Gotta break ‘er in right! Haha!

I was shocked to hear it doesn’t have an alternator as well. I’ll only believe it once I see it! No interior shots yet.

Congratulations to you!!!

Thank you for getting back to us, and now I feel like you are not really gone.

I wish you much joy and the best of outcomes with you new truck.

Thanks! My wife suggested the color before I did and I was like “heck yeah!” (I have owned 2 green Wranglers in the past).
