My fiance has her stock JK sport and her brother has his lifted and built Rubicon Wrangler so this will just be another Jeep in the family. Her brother hits the Rubicon and many other fun trails at least yearly. I'll be there with him recording the experiences here.

Arrived July 23rd! I've done a few small things but I'm waiting on the lift and tires until after I hit a trail or two first. Need to know where she came from to figure out where she's going.

To start, I got a text from me dealer:

So I was off to pick her up. Fiance talked me into naming him 'Franco' instead of 'The Bus'.
