Just fired off the build sheet to Travis. Wife says we can take our vacation in NC this year, which rocks beacuse we normally trade off years.
Tropical beaches for her one year then Mountains for me the next. It's her year but she's willing to sacrifice it:rock:. It's no wonder we've made it 26 years!:involve:
Awesome compromise!

That is how a marriage is suppose to work! You got a great wife my friend, me and my bride will make 25 years in April. Congrats on your recent JT build. Hopefully the process will go fast and smooth for you. It seems everyone who went through Travis has had a good experience.

Hey NC has beaches and Mountains. I been up to Asheville which was a blast and doing some white water rafting in and around the area. If you have that JT before going the Blue Ridge Parkway drive would be great in it I think

Obviously you must have a great one as well!

It's definitely a great deal. I imagine we will be pulling the trigger and planning a trip.

Yes I do have a great one as well. Why she is still with me I have no idea LOL! Its all about compromise and it not being so one sided. I must say it took me while to figure out but I am glad I did.

Finally took the first step! Sent off the deposit to Travis@TriCityJeep. Soon to be the owner of a Cystal Granite Rubicon. Not only did none of the local dealers want anything to do with working with me on a build but they didn't seem interested in selling me a Gladiator at all. Oh well, I love a good road trip. Plus I'm getting exactly what I want. Now I can spend my time researching side steps, tonneau covers, wheels, etc.

Congrats!!! I can’t wait until it’s my turn. I live in Vegas and when it’s time, I’m going to Travis too! Money no object, I’d of ordered from him already. Very excited for you, keep us posted.

VON# in hand:rock:
One Granite Crystal Metallic Rubicon with
Auto trans, Black leather interior, Steel front bumper, Black Hardtop, Remote keyless entry, Slush mats, Trail rails, Safety Group, Premium audio, LEDs & Trailer tow coming up.
This feels like the most frivolous purchase I’ve ever made. I’ve never been off-roading in my life but my hope is to change that. I’ve been watching a lot of off road and overlanding videos and to my surprise the overlanding stuff actually caught the wife’s attention. She actually was intrigued. Got to say I’m surprised but super stoked. Who knows what the future holds:fingerscrossed:
