    Nice...

    Chase,

    Looks really good as only you could do right out of the box....so, does that have the ability to shed roof and doors or what? If so, pics of what that looks like?

    It would be neat to see the OWL of the tires to the outside, just to see what it looked like....too bad you couldn't color match the typical white lettering to the vehicle color, as that would be pretty badass IMO.....GWagen clone for sure, only with cooler lift and wheel/tire package....well done as always.

    Good Luck with it!

    I have to say that is a nice 4wd... I also have to add I had one of these and it was the most terrible car I have ever owned.. Ontop of alot of faults its had death wobbles really bad and at 100k an hour would just at no notice start wobbling voilently like the caster wheels on a shopping trolly. and you would loose your steering untill you slowed down to a speed where it stopped.. Very scary while towing a camping trailer.. I spent a sh#t load on it to fix the problem but never did so had to get rid of it for the sake of my families safety.. Search JK death wobbles on you tube and you will get pages of videos.. Just giving you the heads up.. Broke our hearts as we loved it otherwise. I had the same colour as yours and even had my 4wd camping trailer painted the same.. Was MADNESS offroad!!

    LOL! Yep you aren't worrying at all, just buy and drive

    Really great looking rig! Love the colour.

    The GF just picked one up an older one, she felt the new one was too refined a drive (gotta love a gal like that!!). I'm happy to see a more useable Jeep in the garage as the Wrangler was useless as far as utility goes.

    Enjoy!

    My buddy had the same issue with his. It is only around 6 months old. IIRC, he replaced a bolt on the trackbar. Seems Chryco put in an undersized bolt.

    Congrats on the nice ride! I haven't been on here in a long time (long story) and my '05 300C has just turned 100K and she still runs strong. Anyway, we decided to get a second vehicle so last December I got my first Jeep too. Picked up a Cosmos Blue 2012 Wrangler Sahara with the dual top (can't wait to install the soft-top this spring and go topless!), heated seats, 730 Nav system, and the EXACT WA580 auto trans that I have in the 300C! But I got something with the Jeep that I didn't get with the Hemi - a TRANS DIPSTICK! They admittedly added the dipstick because of the obvious rough use a Jeep will endure.

    I wonder if the tube lengths are the same and if I could use the Jeep trans dipstick to check the level in the Jeep?

    No. You couldn't. Totally different setup. Welcome to the world of Jeep!! Can't wait to install some new mods in a few weeks!! Lovin that blue of yours!!
    Not worried about the death wobble at all. I have a SUPERB local shop doing my trackbar & control arm install. Gonna have em retorque everything & give it a good once over. They do more upgrades in a weeks time than some shops do in a month. Pretty amazing guys. I trust them to take care of me.
