Never bothered to start a thread here, cos didn't think I'd do anything to my Jeep after getting it delivered.

Looking back...might be that I was wrong!!

Knowing nothing much about Jeeps, but always been a bit of a petrol head, saw a topless JK on a holiday in Portugal. Decided I'd look into getting (an old!!) one when I got back.

Toyed with getting this for a few days...

This was "sensible" money...some weird plas-dip coating really put me off. And a diesel.

After getting then sucked in by Google...was weirdly (!!) drawn to this...



Was nearly new and we'll specced. Built by a company miles from me, but available in London...which was a lot nearer.

Called dealer a couple of times...who never replied to my calls!

Then found a company less that 10 miles away. They had a Jeep ready to go...

And about three months ago, the (second!) light bar supplied by Deranged corroded badly, and the cubes started to go...

On the plus side...I've hooked up with a company really close to home. I'd met the guy out and about in his lifted JK and he'd given me his card. Turns out he's good mates with a guy I know down the gym...small world! He'd done the petrol cap and latches...and is the importer for Rigid Industries.

UPGRADE!

Other than went in for service last week and to get Blackvue dashcam hardwired in...I have zero skills!

AND I've listened to the voices and will also be getting AEV 2.5" lift installed.

Can't wait! [emoji1303][emoji1303]

Cheers! Posted all these pix here by way of catching up! I'm kind of hoping (£££££!!) to post mods less frequently now! [emoji23][emoji48]

AEV 2.5" lift. Way impressed! Limited miles today and yesterday to get to work...on the road has completely changed the ride. Really reduced dive and lift as well as lateral roll. More compliant over bumps, noticeably.

Awesome work again from the team at Buzz!

(Before and after shots here).
