Early Birthday Present
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
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

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.

Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.

Congratulations and enjoy your new Jeep. It looks sweet!
Are you going to get any racks for gear?

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)
