    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    cbboard, Our local LR seen is dead. Even the dealership is pathetic. They have downsized it to make room for more Cadillac inventory. PM me when you get back to OKC and I'll give you the info on our local Jeep Face Book page. When we ordered our Jeep the dealership had 5 all white JKU's on...

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    I added the steps last minute because we were taking Brandy's 83 year old grandmother to Arkansas to look at the fall foliage. They really get in the way if you ask me. The door opening isn't tall enough like a defender to be able to stand on the step and slide into the seat. Then again I'm...

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    285x75x17 BFG KM2's Last week I fitted the 285x75x17 BFG KM2's with 1.25" spacers. First impressions: They are a little more noisy than the stock KM1's but less noisy than the 35" KM2's we had on the 08. They rub a little at hard lock. Probably should have gone with the 1.5" spacers but I...

    What Size Tire to Buy?

    A few weeks ago we put 285x75x17's KM2's on our 2012 JKUR. They are 33.9" tall. We have an auto with 4:10's. You can tell a little difference on the highway but not much. This past weekend we headed east on I40 and the same hill's we pulled 2 weekends before with stock tires we pulled at the...

    Full Traction Lift, Bilstein Shocks, Spicer Drive Shafts and some skids.....

    Dale, I hope u don't mind if I hop in and ask a question for those who have experience with these kits. If the kit uses bilstein shocks is the ride not harsh? I only have experience with them on rovers and they ride too stiff. Sorry for the hijack.

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    Thanks for the kind words. Several variables played into Brandy choosing white. A few being: After our summer of record breaking temperatures she wanted something that would be cooler. Although we both loved the look of the Steel Blue she wanted a lighter color that would not show dirt and...

    My New (AEV) American Expedition Vehicles Jeep!!

    You are absolutely right! Have they changed the top design? Our black top was white on the inside and throughout. When it got scratched, white shown through. This was part of our decision for choosing white. Teach me Obi Wan.

    Brandy's 2012 JKUR Build

    If you came just to look at the pictures feel free to skip my dissertation:) We recently had the opportunity to test drive a new 2012 JKUR. We ordered one the very next week! Brandy's 08 JKUR had only 50k miles on it but after driving the 2012's I had to have one. I was blown away by the...

    My New (AEV) American Expedition Vehicles Jeep!!

    It's good to see you've finally come out of the closet:) The truck looks awesome, wish I could have talked Brandy into tan. I'm seriously jealous of you and Dale. Let me know how the 4000's work out. I opted for the 4000 compacts due to mounting and overall size on Brandy's 08. Would like...

    Any 2012 JKU Reviews?

    First Impressions I'm blown away. We ordered Brandy a new 2012 unlimited rubicon w/ 4.10s a few months ago. It arrived Wednesday. The difference between her 2008 and the new 2012 is night and day. The engine has a lot more power but the real treat is the new 5spd automatic. The gear splits...

    blower on a JK-pros/cons

    Dale, Take the money and apply it to a new 2012. Wow what a difference. We ordered Brandy a new one and it shipped Thursday. Should have it by weeks end. Let the fun begin. Dendy, What in the world is that in your avatar? Doesn't look like a LR to me:)
