I bought a base model and have been having a blast modifying it myself. I have put a bit into it between new headlights, taillights, intercooler, fan upgrade, various pressure sensors, heater, upgraded turbo, tune, etc...
Now that it drives like a good little demon baby I'm working on the other things like lockers, upgrading the suspension and wheels etc...
Shes around 243hp and torque and a blast to cruise around off-road.
We also live in a smaller town so it's pretty easy to get around without drama.
Base they are plenty of fun and will literally walk up about anything just idling itself at 850rpm 4Lo. I feel they are just limited by not having the lockers on certain terrains. Pretty sure it's an option you could do factory for some $$$ too.
I think a big part of the fun has been the ease of working on things in regards to price, space and not having to worry that you did something and fucked up a 90k jeep.
At the end of the day, I have zero regrets, it's ok bare bones, however it's a great project for people who like slapping shit on stuff.
That sounds really cool
That's awesome. There's a guy Roothy on Youtube that is modding one. Are you following that?
Haven't heard of that person. I'll check them out. Thanks for the tip.
