Hello all! New member and first post here. I'll start off with a little background first. I'm not currently a Jeep owner, but hoping to be in the near future. I've never owned a Jeep, but my father had 2 TJs while I was growing up, and he managed to sell his 2000 TJ a couple years ago without asking me first since he didn't think I'd be interested, even though I've always told him if he ever decides to sell it, to let me know first (it was 4.0 manual in excellent condition with only 70k miles -- he sold it for $6k!). Oh well. So, ever since then, I've been itching to get a Jeep of my own.
Onto what I'm looking to get. I currently have a 2004 V8 4Runner that I've been very happy with... no issues what so ever. BUT... I'm getting bored with it. So, here I am, looking for a Jeep. This will be my DD as well as my off-road vehicle. Being that this will be my only vehicle, I'm currently leaning toward the JKU for all-around purpose -- hwy ride for daily driving and interior space. I'm currently living in an apartment with no garage, no tools, no easy way of modding without having to pay $$ to a shop, so I'm leaning toward finding an already modded Jeep. I've heard buying a modded Jeep can be risky, as there's always a chance that it was used extensively off-road and beaten up pretty good. So, what actually brought me here... I found a 2012 JKU Rubicon that is heavily modded and on the windshield is a WAYALIFE decal. So, in an effort of trying to learn a little more about the vehicle, I'm hoping some forum members may be able to shed some light onto this vehicle if they recognize it, or point me in the direction of the previous owner for some questions.
I appreciate any and all help regarding this particular vehicle or on the subject of buying a used and modded Jeep as an only vehicle. Below is a link to an image of the Jeep. Also, if it helps, the Jeep has an ORE tire carrier.
Thanks,
Dave
