Before my Wayalife, I was a proud owner of a 2 wheel drive 2011 Nissan Pathfinder. The Pathfinder was nice, comfortable and smooth driving. I had a lot of good times in that vehicle but it just wasnt cutting it. I needed an SUV that can take me to places without getting stuck. With no 4WD, i was getting frustrated and needed something more rugged for my lifestyle. I watched the 3 part Rubicon Trail series that Eddie and Cindy made on YouTube after researching capable 4WD vehicles. It got me hooked. I started searching for a jku. I found one at a local dealership used with tires and a lift already on it. I passed by this Jk for 2 weeks driving by the dealership drooling. My fiancé told me she wanted to go check it out and see if my payments will be lower on the Jk and if it was, I should get it. It was, and on July 4, 2012, I was a proud owner of a 2011 cosmos blue JKU sport.
Now, I love this rig. It's by far the best vehicle I have ever owned so far and it was my in to the the addictive world of wheeling and modifying. BUT I wish I waited to find a 2012 with the pentastar and I wish I got a rubicon. I wish I had lockers and I wish I had a Dana 44 and I wish I had electronic swaybar disconnects. I can take my rig to most places a rubicon can, but I do wish I had these features. Building this rig will take a while because of wedding, honeymoon and buying a house and the finances and money involved in all that. So, by the time I can start doing more heavy modding, I might just want to get a 2015 Wrangler when they come out and get a Rubicon model in that. But I love my rig and I don't plan on owning anything other than a JK or future wrangler models. That's my story, and now I know what to get thanks to this forum. Thanks to my future wife, Eddie and Cindy and all my new found friends for helping me get addicted. Amen.
