Purple Wrangler (reign?)

[ShadowsPapa]

Dang, I am really envious now - my wife has a beautiful Rubicon with towing group, aux switches, everything except advance safety group which she decided was ok as long as it was ALL purple.

I wonder how many guys have Jeep envy - and it's their WIFE's JEEP!!
"don't hurt MY Jeep" "Don't get MY Jeep dirty" "don't put any miles on MY Jeep"
I can hear it now..............

You will hear all of those things trust me, I do. Here's my wife's Freedom Edition, yeah has Sky One Touch, but we live in Florida. She makes sure everyone knows it's hers to.

Well now that you've got a 4xe, time to go to the drag strip and embarrass some people.

For you viewing pleasure, who says Jeeps aren't fast!

Maybe you can get on that show Street Outlaws.

My guy @ShadowsPapa was not messing around here huh, congrats! I'll be interested to hear your insights on the platform. I'm interested in one for my wife as well. She could use the extra storage space, I'm just worried she'll never remember to plug the darn thing in.

Love it! But for sure my wife will never let me take "her Jeep" over to Cordova for the AMC weekend of racing. She would have suspicions that I wasn't there just for the swap meet.

It's missing the advance safety group. I and the sales guy, Scott, explained exactly what that was. She decided that although ACC was nice, she didn't use it much in her vehicle - I did in mine. The auto high beam - she said she doesn't drive that many miles or hours after dark, she'd use the old way. And she'd lived for years without the FCW and automatic braking.
This one had the body color roof and fender flares, the interior colors were perfect.
We're having the Sahara type side steps (running boards) added because she did have to really pull herself up with a bit of a hop to get in and getting out was worse. (plus those protect the hinges and such from dings and dirt)
So lacking the "steps" and the advance safety group but since all of her other things were met, she's fine with it. She has commented about not liking pulling back for high beam and pushing forward for low beams.
Driving back in the dark she had trouble with that because Wrangler and Gladiator are very different in that way.

You might want to hit the step's metal brackets with some extra paint before you install them, otherwise this will happen.

That would drive me nuts!

Whatever you do, don't add the factory metal rear bumper. Unlike the JT metal bumper which adds protection, the JL metal bumper adds damge when it flexes into the rear quarter panel.

Had you ever looked at your 2020's step brackets before you traded it in? I have a feeling they all do this. The picture is after 4.5 years on the JL. I bought new take offs to replace them and hit with some Rustoleum before I installed them.

Will probably leave the rear alone on hers.
The front bumper on hers is still up for thought - deer are a consideration around here.

I'd still like to find a steel Rubicon rear take-off for my JT.

Now I'll have to double-check my truck.
Will keep that in mind for hers.

My brother picked his 2 door Rubi up last night. Pictures don't do this color justice.

Absolutely agree.
Good looking pair there.
That's a good "Jeeps parking next to Jeeps" picture for that thread.

My wife isn't real happy - she pointed out 'it got DIRTY!"

Weathertech mud flaps will solve that.
