Well...I had to compromise...
The family said nobody wanted to climb in and out of the back of a TJ, and we already had one in the family. The wife said, if we're camping it has to have room for gear. So I looked at some JK's. Found this 2016 with an AEV conversion riding on 37's, Alpine I209 radio and other extras. Oh, did I mention it only had 16,536 miles on it!! The picture below was her first of many trips to Bonnell Creek.
Maybe not the LJ Rubicon I wanted (which I could've bought in excellent condition for slightly less!), but I am looking forward to loads of fun with the family. We are going to Red River Gorge this weekend to see how things go on a day trip.
I think my daughter will have a pretty cool ride to school in 2 years.
Keep posting JMT, I enjoy watching you teach the twins and look forward to using some of your experiences with my daughter!!
Thanks again!!
