I can't stop buying these. I am now working on getting the 3rd jeep JK in our stable. A 2011 sahara with 140k kms. It looks to be in great condition, interior looks clean, outside looks clean, and it has a 3" lift already and 35s. Now, the wheels, tires and lift will be replaced with bits of my choice, but until then, it's got something anyways. I don't like the dumb looking angry eyes grill, star signal lights etc, but I am hoping he has the stock parts tucked away. If not, I will buy new and sell the aftermarket junk. I should know more later in the week. Excited to have a wrangler.....AGAIN!

Awesome! It’s nice when a plan comes together! Sounds like you are on your way.

very nice! thats half of the average mileage expected for a vehicle that age. the wife has a '13 sahara and since we dont travel in it, ive left it stock...but a 3" lift and 35s would look pretty good on it. i think that lift and 35s is the perfect combo for a jeep, so you already have that done.
sounds like a nice collection you have going....keep it up and you can have a different jeep for each day of the week! :sunglasses:

We recently added a 2013 JKU 10th anniversary Rubicon to our fleet, found one with low mileage and still 100% stock, that way we can build it the way we want. it will get a 3" Teraflex lift and 35" tires which is defiantly the sweet spot for these rigs, still a ways from having the whole week covered though....

I wish I kept the others. Unfortunately they were both sold. My previous 2011 was full built and I should have kept it but someone who I trusted told me that the oil leak it had was going to cost 5g or so to fix. when In fact it was just a main seal between the trans and engine. Easy 200 dollar fix. I could do it myself in the driveway. I just brought it to him and asked what was leaking and aporximate cost. I will know what to do if that happens with this one.

Here is a picture. I am starting to like the grill guard. Good spot to mount my moose lights. I will removed the wheels and tires and replace with something that is more my style and not so blingy. The grill will be removed and replaced with stock as will the star signal lights. I will keep the LED headlights and tail lights however. As for the suspension. I am waiting to hear which lift it is, If it's something decent I will work with it. If it's trash, then I will remove it, sell it and get a teraflex lift with drop brackets for the front arms.

I am just waiting for our money from the sale of a piece of property here, once that is done, I am gone to get this.

Our 2015 JKU has 35s and a 3.5 inch AEV lift. I agree that the combo is nearly perfect for what we like to do and the tire weights/lift angles are not (knock on wood) going to cause failures down the road without additional very expensive mods. Drives like a charm on the highway and has not had any problems on the trails. Not a dedicated rock crawler but a great all-around overland set up.
