Wife is a keeper!

As for the 'play Jeep' comment, I share her opinion.  I'm continually amazed at members here with late model JK daily drivers starting expensive builds on expensive vehicles when they will then need to be overly cautious when on rides.  In my opinion wheeling a vehicle on which you owe money to the bank is a bad idea.



Having never owned a Jeep before my JK, the slope from "i'll use it on the weekends to drive the family to Target and Olive Garden plus some light trail riding on the weekends" to "wow, this trail riding thing is fun and I don't want to say no to ANY trail" was very slippery! 

So I agree with you, Kirk, but I also know things can change once you're into the sport.  Once you've got the dollars invested into the rig its difficult to get out.  I'm getting out of mine now but its costing me....

Good advice here, and I'll add: Make sure you're aware of how modifications can affect your warranty.  Making mods to a vehicle you're still paying on and then find out you've voided your warranty too ... that would suck! I've been lucky with my dealership, but I've heard horror stories too.

Nice Mike!

Only 3 things my wife says about the Jeep

 1) You have ruined it
 2) what else can you do to make it look stupid.
 3) you know thats half mine


Ha ha, that's a classic right there.

Once my wife got her new Edge she was all about me getting a Tahoe to tow with so she could use it for hauling the dogs around.  So I basically have a $30,000+ 13 year old Tahoe  //;D//.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
