Moab is a different animal at night. A buddy and I did a trail at night last year. Kinda scary at times.

My '85 CJ7 Renegade. It was my first car. I've owned it for the past 28 years and have done more harm than good through the years. Even in this picture, which isn't super recent, it was in better shape then than it is now. Rodents have gotten to the electrical, so that's my current project. Anyway, I still love it!
IMHO, the CJ7 was the best platform of all the CJs. ironically, when they were introduced, they were seen as a red headed step child to the CJ5. I had one with the V8 and auto, and it was a great rig. Didn't know what I had until later in life...My '85 CJ7 Renegade. It was my first car.

I can say I definitely love the platform. I've been in all different models of jeep, and owned a couple of other models myself, and I just can't ever see anything replacing it. Not that there aren't better options, but this just seems to do everything well enough for me, and there is a huge sentimental tie. Many life lessons have been learned behind it's wheel. That said, hindsight being 20/20 and all, I would have done many of the things I have very differently. Early on I simply didn't know what I was doing, nor did I know what I wanted. After all, I was younger than 16 when I started "modding". Trying to be macho and a significant amount of hubris certainly had a negative impact on it. Live and learn. Hopefully my current attempt at refreshing it will lead to great things.

I just sold my LJ and I'm looking for the right JKU as a replacement this winter.

I upgraded over the weekend. Sold my 01 Sahara and got a 2013 Rubicon JKU. Now I gotta get up to speed on the JK platform.
The 01 was a toy. The 2013 is a daily driver and overland adventure toy. Looking forward to modding it for that purpose.
If anyone has any tips or absolutely must do type items for a 2013 Rubi with the 3.6 motor, please let me know. She's stock at this point. I'm all ears!

Thanks Jake. I just watched your video, "Jade Jamboree Colorado". Pretty awesome, new subscriber here.
BigSwole - Thanks so much that's awesome of you! Glad to have you along on this journey!
This is my '17 Hard Rock.
I'm hoping to take it to Rausch Creek and take a few of their offroading classes in a few weeks before heading out into the wild with it.
