Wayalife...truly
When I bought my current JK my wife was a little skeptical about Jeeps. Owning a couple of CJ-7s in the past and WJ I always wanted the Rubicon when they came out, after purchasing a used 08 JKUR I started looking at the different sites to get good information about tech/lifts/mods/tips/tricks and hacks. This site came up several times with posts/forums and I trust the members on this site (as much as practical). In July of this year we took a 4 day off road trip to the Badlands in Indiana with a good friend and his family (They too own a JKUR). My wife drove about half the time we were there and its safe to say she was hooked. On returning home (Sunday) she located a JKUR at a local used vehicle dealership and we took a look at it. It was used, slightly abused and she named it. By 9 am the next morning when the dealership opened up she was test driving it and traded in her 2012 Nisan Maxima fully loaded for this 2008 Rubi which had the stickers removed, the rock rails replaced with step sides and passenger tires. About 30 minutes after the paperwork was done we drove to Chicago to pick up a set of rock rails we found on craigslist practically new for $150. The next weekend we took it out to Insane Terrain in Illinois after a storm that dumped 3 inches of rain so she could break it in. The following week she ordered a 3.5" lift kit which she helped put on and the week after it was on we spent 3 days back at the Badlands. This thing has transformed my wife beyond the cool person she has always been. She eats, drinks and sleeps jeep. It's like her soul connected with this Jeep and wheeling....Jeep is a Way A Life in our home.
