Title: New in Rochester
Post by: NokternalJeeper on May 14, 2010, 08:36:00 PM
Hey ya\'ll just moved to the Rochester area from Seneca Falls. Looking into groups in the area. I haven\'t quite gotten use to the idea of not having places to wheel and cover my ride in muck, having moved from Alabama where I could cover my trucks in mud on a regular basis. My current rig is a 2009 Rubicon that I have a ton of things on the wish list to \"improve\".

I absolutely love it. even more so now after having been to the 4X4 101 and testing its capabilities. i was quite pleased with its stock performance. and can\'t wait till i\'m able to start upgrading

It great for daily driving got plenty of room for whatever may be needed, groceries, kids, moving stuff. On board navigation and sat radio and can be set up for hands free operation plus bluetooth capabilities for phone w/optional mic. some of the features on the radio get locked out while the vehicle is in motion which is a little annoying but can be circumvented with an after market mod. It gets decent gas mileage for its size, 17-22mpg. Its a surprisingly quiet and smooth ride on pavement and off road being that it has a longer wheel base it handles a lot different that the short wheel base of the prior models. I guarantee though that if she does wind up getting one she\'ll end up taking it off road to play in it and she won\'t be disappointed.

That\'s the plan. I want nothing less than 37\" tires and a nice long arm kit: ) it will be our fun adventure vehicle as well as my daily.
