Seriously, make sure you have an idea of what you want your baby to look like in 12 months time, and work out what you want to use it for. There are so many different options, and the Wrangler is so modular. That's one of it's beauties.

My tip, grab some cans of plasti-dip and get painting.

I like what they've done with the 18' wheels on the Polar edition.....might have that done in a metallic charcoal.

Couldn't wait to pull it apart.....had my young bloke help remove the hardtop so I could get the soft top out of the vehicle...much more room without it.
Had to go for a drive like this...young bloke loved it, too cool!



Scored some really cheap 17" rims for some off road tyres (when the wallet recovers)...these things are new, looks like they drove it home from the dealer and changed the wheels.

Nice one Leigh. It is pretty cool driving without the roof (and doors). Try doing that in an FJ Cruiser.

Just get some Summit Hogs for those rims if you don't want to break the bank.

Just had to get a two door convertible for the mid life huh?
Well done.

Clean looking unit mate. Not a fan of the colour but then I also have a gold MX-5 track car so who am I to comment on colours!
Get rid of that park bench up the front mate! First mod I did to mine (with a winch) and it make a fair old difference offroad with approach angle. First trip with the park bench still on, punched the bottom of it 3 times going down into Wonnangatta Valley. Did the same trip a month later with the bullbar averaging about 20kph faster and didn't have a single knock.
