Hi Everyone, First post!
After researching and imagining this Jeep build for over a year, reading lots of threads, looking at lots of people's builds, it is finally my turn! Let's get this party started! :clap2:
- 11/27 Order placed
- 12/02 Vin assigned
- 01/09/17 (tonight) Delivery of "wife's" JKU
( She is traveling so I was forced to put it in my name; I guess it's mine now )
2017 Wrangler Sport 23 C
Granite Crystal Metallic
Manual Transmission
Max Tow Package 3.73 gears
Connectivity Group
Half Doors :wings:
NOTHING ELSE
First impression driving the Jeep in stock form with the steel 16" wheels and stock tires (P225/75 R16) at highways speeds: steering is very vague, no "on center" feel (wanders), very light steering effort. Hopefully we can make this feel better with some improvements.
Half doors and stock soft top at 65 MPH on highway: a bit loud! I had never even seen or driven a half door JK before but wife said let's go for it so now we have it! Also, I wish Jeep would have spent the money to match the trim on the half doors with the rest of the interior - It is kind of mismatched but I already knew that before buying it so it didn't surprise me. So lucky it's going to be the wife's DD, not mine :bleh: Let's see how long before she tells me she needs a more "civilized" car to drive :icon_crazy:
Thanks to everyone who has posted and shared their experience on Wayalife, you guys have helped me spend thousands of dollars before even getting this Jeep! now it is time to put it all together and see how this turns out :clap2: Since placing our order on 11/27 I have spent every free moment here on this forum reading and have been burning a whole in my bank account :naw: buying a lot of stuff to try to do this build right but quickly. I'll start modding things and uploading pictures starting tomorrow. Tonight I have some more research to do ... Wish me luck I don't screw up anything I can't fix!
