    I've got a 2015 Willys Wheeler 2-door (automatic) that I bought new. My fourth Jeep, and the best so far. I'm an old guy, so have been through the modified CJ-5, CJ-7 and JK Wrangler growing pains (Wish I had all that misspent money and vertebrae back). Only mod I've done is remove the rear seat the day I bought it and put down the Jeep rubber mat in its place. This Jeep has been cross country VA-Cali twice, something I wouldn't have dreamed of doing with my old struggle-buggies.
    At some point I'll upgrade the bumpers and maybe add a winch and sway bar disconnects, but no big plans to mod. Just want to do some light trail work on weekends without sacrificing the ability to use as a daily driver.

    Welcome! Your Willys looks great. Sway bar disconnects makes the ride so much better on the rocky bumpy trails. We have similar goals with our JKs but I have been reportedly been bitten by the j.e.e.p. bug badly.

    Thanks for the welcome.
    After downsizing to a condo and losing my Man Cave/garage, I can't be as involved as I used to be in car and bike projects. From Mustangs and Porsches to a putting a Camaro engine in a CJ-5 to a Lightning engine in a lifted Bronco on 35's, I've done my part to keep the aftermarket alive. Not bragging at all; just my passion and how I used to unwind after work. For an engineer, garage time is vacation time. At least for a while, I'll be satisfied with just a few tasteful upgrades that don't require any down time.
