Fun has been shaken out already. I like how we’re back to $4 a gallon and not one person is anything other than :aintcare: I suppose the hurdle will truly be $6 a gallon or more.
The one thing it's got that nobody else (that I can think of) does is the serious 4x4 bits in a REASONABLE SIZE. Full size crew cab trucks are YUGE, same with Brahoes and Yukons,
No one sane wheels full sizers they don’t fit a lot of trails.

So what’s your build for that 4 year college tuition at a state school ?

You'd need three times that here but best recollection was Rubi, matching color hard top and fenders, auto, headliner, Alpine speakers but no nav, steel bumpers, electrical group, leather seats, LED lighting, the ramz with the polished edges, Keyless Entry for ze woman.

The whole "manual transmission as endangered species in the ROW but on the Jeep we'll charge you 2 large for an automatic" thing is quite a racket.

165k for college ? Might as well go into a trade at that point. No degree is worth that much unless it is a doctor/lawyer/computer brogrammer

I'm budgeting that much although I'm hoping for much less. Only got one CF, I can afford to do something other than HVAC school, although I back from Iowa, my cousin who started his own HVAC business at age 21 seems to be doing plenty well judging from his palacial spread, numerous bro trucks (he's got a 2013 GS C6 as well but auto :sad:) etc. She appears to be headed for international relations type stuff....maybe UCSD?

Save some mileage between now and then so we can do our swap.

Wheeling a $50k+ JLR to the point of rolling it like that.

I wouldn't attempt a trail like that with a brand new rig, personally.

Dudebro has money and it's what he likes to do? :iono:

Fakenews doe, since no one goes anywhere but the mall in a :jeep: or any other off-road vehicle.

If you watch the full vid tons of JL and JKs on that trail. I wonder what those people do for a living where that kind of risk is considered :aintcare: I suppose it’s similar to tracking a new cayman

If you're gonna roll a brand new JL, be sure to roll it all the way. That way you get more youtube clicks and forum cross posting at your retard ways and before you know it, youtube has bought you another new JL to wheel.

The things are engineered to do that stuff, it's still incredible to give zero fucks after dropping that kind of money on a brand new Jeep.

I wheeled my new JK Rubicon pretty hard, but never tried stuff like that.

Why not if you can afford it? I'm sure that's why he bought the vehicle.
