A Sport with Craigslist Rubicunt take-off wheels/tires is perfection, IMO.
Yep. $500-$1k with tars in good shape is :notbad: at all, and then you're more than capable for light to medium offroading shenanigans.
:dat:

And they're bountiful since so many bros take the wheels and tires off immediately and swap on bigger bro wheels for harder mall crawling.

3.73's would be awesome too, but those are hard to find since you can't identify them easily and nobody knows anything about what they have.

3.73 is a must with an auto imo. Easy to find new because you can look up window stickers. Good fucking luck used.

I have posted my ideal one before. You can basically get a 37k basic bitch sahara model with 4500 off and be around 35k OTD.

Or you can go full :scrooge: and get a sport+ hardtop which is around 31-2k these come up to 30k OTD. Then you throw on $900 JKU take offs with 99% thread because MALL SO HARDs can't handle these wheels and they are literred all over craiglist.

Then spend around $800 on a decent HU + speakers and call it a fucking day. No need for anything else
The options on the JKUs are stupid, 2k for a fucking 1990s nav :nope:
:aintcare: for any of the fancy off road shit since utilizing the jeep at that point to it's full potential would mean fucking it up and possibly rolling it. The stock JKU is already plenty. Open diffs and all.
Hard top, AC, power windows, and 3.73 rear axle on an automatic and I'd be good.

Deets should come out soon for the new juan, yes? First model year FCA doe. Meh.

Actually I can get a build sheet and nearly all JKUs and the forum bros have google foo on the part numbers on diffs. A simple photo will answer it or the VIN.

I enjoy my mileage with the 3.21 gearing.

Dang. Shit ad and wanting 1400 or maybe $1500? Rather some poverty 17x5.5” with fresh 33” tars of my choice.

The Wrangler is probably the most popular American made vehicle in California. They are everywhere.

My mind can't wrap itself around someone ditching these wheels/tars.

lots of bros want to "go big" and run 35" tars. I dream small. Thats more than enough wheel/tar for me to dip off road. Mild lift @3" and I'll be in the dirt.

The only the fly TPMS readings is pretty nifty. The mustang had that. Helpful for airing down offroad.
