Early Birthday Present

[IntrepidXJ]

Next month I turn 30, and I wanted to do something for my birthday that I have never done before....I wanted to buy a brand new vehicle, and not settle for anything other than exactly what I wanted....and that's exactly what I managed to do today. I had to drive over to Golden to get it, but it was well worth the drive :)

I got a 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon in Dark Charcoal Pearl with all the options except a soft top....which I need to pick up before it starts to warm up around here :rockon:

I have no plans to lift or modify this vehicle in any significant way for a few years. It will serve my current exploring needs as it sits with a few minor additions....like the Expedition One Trail Series front bumper with the Warn XD9000i that's been sitting in my garage for a while :)

I can't wait to get out exploring with this new rig :mrgreen:

Sweet birthday present. Happy birthday!

I expect some more awesome TR's now.

Nice Randy! Is this replacing the XJ or are you keeping it too?

I'm keeping the XJ..... I got rid of the F-350

Good for you Randy. can't wait too see some new TR with that new ride :naughty:

[Sombeech]

Excellent. And kudos on going with an automatic. It's been by far my favorite choice for every day driving with a wrangler.

I know some will argue though. :haha:

No argument here, manuals are way overrated :haha:

Congratulations and enjoy your new Jeep. It looks sweet!

Are you going to get any racks for gear?

I know I enjoyed the '09 I rented last spring for the Maze. I've been thinking about buying one ever since... :naughty:

I never had a problem keeping my gear inside my XJ...so I don't think I'll need a rack for my gear in this new Jeep

Thats cause you never driven a Manual :)

[psl53]

Sky,
I have a manual in my work truck however I have an automatic in my jeep. Two things ...... 1) Toque converters are a beautiful thing, they give you a great crawl ratio and 2) when you're sitting on a rock and your ass is puckered to the seat you have two less things to worry about ( a clutch pedal and a stick shift) :naughty: :naughty: :roll:
