We were looking to build a JL unlimited, but with the long lead times on the build, The dealership wasn't willing giving us enough on our trade by the time the build got here. We drive so much we'd have probably put another 4k miles on our compass before it got here. Plus, we were able to get a few more amenities for less cost than an equivalent JL would have been. The color is billet silver. It's a 75th anniversary Sahara. It seems like an interesting mashup for a Sahara, but it's 100% stock. It has factory steel bumpers front and rear. Wheels are 17x7.5s with AT tires, like on an off-road trim such as a Willys or Sport, along with factory rock rails. The hood looks to be the vented one off the JK Rubicon. But it has leather inside, power everything, and a factory touchscreen (which is hard to find on a JK) with the alpine speakers. It's a 6-speed manual. This is my wife's ride, and she's loving it thus far. We wish it had a soft top, though!

Yes, but I'm glad we found it. It must have been someone's special order at some point. They also had a 2011 *2 door* Sahara with a stick. And it was a soft top to boot. Whoever had it before lifted it 3 inches, and it was sitting on Dick Cepek 37s. It was completely built. I almost never see 2 door Saharas, and even more rarely do I see a built Sahara.

Congrats!

I actually just sold my JK yesterday. Owning the gladiator now I just don’t drive it like I use to, and with use vehicle prices being what they are it was hard to pass up.

Either way, you’ll love the JK. It’s a great platform.

Planning on doing any mods?

She'll get the 33 inch Rubicon tires/wheels from my Gladiator when I put 35s on. Otherwise, no major mods planned on it. Just a winch and a soft top, and some underbody protection (better skid plates).
