Hi all!
First time Jeep owner. I stopped at a dealer about a month ago and a black 2015 Unlimited Rubicon followed me home. Since I live alone no one was there to tell me I couldn't keep it. One week and 300 miles later it ended up taking me and two friends from near Chicago down to Dirty Turtle ORP in KY where we watched some rock bouncers play. We had time so we gave the JK hell on some trails and climbs. It did all I imagined it would with ease. People looked at me like I was nuts doing it in a new JK Unltd Rubi, but I just smiled a "S" muching grin being happy. I did get several "Hell yeah"s" from some cool folks
I looked at a lot of other forums, but this one seems to be the one for me. Mod it, use it, love it, try not to break it, fix it if it does while laughing about it. No garage queens. I feel at home here. I have a TON on mobile electronic installation experience. I'm also a radio geek so I'm already putting a lot of time into planning out just exactly how I'm going to be putting a CB, VHF/UHF ham radio(s), and big arse Lowrance GPS in the not radio friendly interior and get antennas up and working 100%. I think I got it though after a ton of hours and hundreds of pictures.
I hope to meet up with some of you all on the trails soon. If you live in the Chicagoland, NWI, or Great Lakes area TAKE ME WHEELING. Yeah I'm new, but I'm a quick study that is eager to listen, watch, and learn. My local buddy who does the insane XJ thing is busy a lot like me, so lining up some trips to Badlands in Attica, IN is hard to do. Not really feeling like going it alone so soon yet. Need dem skillz first.
Anyway, looking to be an active member. Wiring and radio questions are welcome, but I have little Wrangler specific knowledge on it for now. I'll get the JK only stuff down real soon.
