My dad has had a few Jeeps's, mostly just for summer cruising but never really wheeled them. I convinced him to get another to come out with me every once in a while, so I started looking for CJ's since he really likes them, but we ended up getting a leftover JK Rubicon from a dealer here in Utah.
Bought the Jeep back in October, but didn't really do much with it for a while since my deadline wasn't until Easter Jeep Safari. But, after a few months of hard work I finally finished everything up the night before he flew in. We drove it down to Moab that morning, spent a couple days doing some hard wheeling, and he drove it all the way back to MA with no issues.
