6spd, rag top, doors come off, Super Charger, 2” lift, right-size and it adds up to the quintessential 4 seasons do it all FUN utility vehicle. Makes me smile every time I fire it up and head out somewhere.

Did you put a spacer in the rear or no? In some photos it looks like the Teraflex 1.5" level kit makes the front sit slightly taller than the rear. I tow regularly so I don't want the Jeep to look squatted. I know Teraflex recommends just installing the 1" spacer for a more level appearance when loaded.The tires are Toyo AT3’s 285/75/17’s with a Teraflex 1 1/2” level kit. The camper is a RPod 189 that’s 20’ long with a small slide. Perfect for the two of us.
I have an Overland and installed the 1 1/2” up front, stock in the rear. The rear is still 3/4” taller than the front and I am good with this as it is level when I tow my camper.Did you put a spacer in the rear or no?

I could not agree more! JT is the last truck with 2 live axles and a manual transmission. Plus factory lockers are awesome (yay extended warranty!). Oh and its a convertible too? I looked at everything to replace my very tired Land Rover Discovery - Land Cruisers, Tacos, Colorado ZR2 , the new Defender (holy shit NOT a Defender), the new Discovery (you know - the one underneath the new Defender), 4Runner, Armada, Ford F350 Tremor, Ford F150 Raptor (I admit I came pretty close on that one - and not too far on price either) and watched every review and comparison I could (i liked this one a lot: https://www.motortrend.com/cars/che...on-vs-chevrolet-colorado-zr2-comparison-test/) - I even waited until the Bronco was released but at the end of the day the JT easily beats them all for me. I love it. Already pulled someone out of a ditch that I know I would not have been able to do in my LR. Best of all - there is so much aftermarket support I can make it mine. I love it and I've only had it a month! Only regret - I wish Punk'n or Mojito were avaialble... but anyway my transition went as follows:Just gotta say it. I love it. I love driving top down, country roads, good tunes, while rowing my own. I love throwing whatever in the bed and getting it to where I need. I love towing our scout camp trailer without concern. I love the jeep community. I love being able to turn my own wrench.. Yes, there are issues (#MT), wants (#towingcpacity), and dreams (#NAv8), but man...I have not had a vehicle i have felt a more visceral connection. I love my JT. Cheers to us, and those like us.

And I still have so much to do. Man I forking love this thing.
PS - yes I know I can't take it with me beyond... He>me!
Thanks - i just got tiered of the black wheels look. They are now factory on all kinds of things.I love mine too, but you better believe, if mojito ever becomes an option, i just may have to look again at that time. I dunno...i do like my gobi.
BTW. love the classic polished on your truck. I picked up a set myself a week ago, and am working them over right now (used), but in the mean time I found other wheels instead. I cant decide if I wanna keep the polished ones too, or sell.
