    Default Well I bought one!

    Got me self a wrangler! Yeeh haw

    A 2013 4 door hard top Overland. 18700k! Yes 18700.

    Was a Jeep company demo vehicle. Only 18700 in 5 years.

    They were asking 39500 plus on road costs. I got it for 36K on road!

    I also decided to take out a 3 year extended warrantee just for my own peace of mind.

    This car is essentially a brand new car. Smells new, looks new, is new.

    Drives fantastic.


    If I can work out how to paste in a pic I will do it.

    good find. You probably find it was only used by some dealer manager as his private vehicle.

    Well it’s my car, the wife has her Tucson.

    I’m under strict orders to NOT cover it with Ham antennas. 😢

    There is going to have to be some really sneaky bracketry to avoid drilling holes etc. I’ll take my time.

    As to driving, nothing specific planned for it but at least if we want to go off road we have the tool to do it.

    Looks like your going to go and have a quiet 'Think' of how to mount the absolutely necessary antennas ( a Ham with no antennas when Mobile? Unthinkable) on to a roof rack that you can take them off when its 'Her' car but there when you want them.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    I think those low profile bull bars for those vehicles look great
    Also give mounting mounts for lights and antennas

    But most of all, stop it from looking ...... well, so stock.
    Enjoy the new vehicle mate, what a great starting place!
