Caught the Bug
Well it's been a crazy week. As my wife, daughter and I were leaving for Idaho to pick up our new Jeep last week, lightning struck our house and fried a ton of stuff. As our home is built in a forest and is surrounded by 70 ft Ponderosa Pines, we rely on cable high-speed internet for all mobile data while at home. Without Wi-Fi, we've got no internet and no telephone communication. We just recently got the Wi-Fi back online, so I can finally start a thread about our 2018 Mojito! JLUR.
On the drive up, I met a Vietnam vet by the name of Robert while I was pumping gas. We struck up a conversation which resulted in my wife and daughter waiting 30 minutes in the gas station/travel center. Turns out he used to race Broncos in the 70s and 80s. He still has his main rig and was more than happy to share lots of pictures. He was in the process of moving from the PNW to AZ. We traded information, and we'll catch up again in AZ when we meet for drinks... hopefully sooner than later. (he did give me permission to post pictures)...
Just before rolling into our hotel in Wyoming, we passed a Sinclair Gas refining station. The picture really doesn't do it justice. This thing was HUGE. It looked like a cross between a giant ocean liner and a small city.
I traded in a 60k mile 2014 JKUR with a 2.5 in lift, 35s, bumpers, armor, et.al. I purchased a 2018 JLUR. I was really looking forward to getting back into a stock Wrangler, at least for a little while. Here's a few pictures of the 2014 Amp’d JKUR next to the 2018 Mojito! JLUR. I think it's ironic that both Jeeps have punctuation in the color name.
Pictures of the window stickers if anybody's interested.
The transaction at Dennis Dillon Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep in Idaho went extremely well. They were able to give us a price that no local dealer would come close matching. Although I highly recommend them, be aware going in that you deal with them for price only. Do not expect tracking or a lot of communication. You order it, you wait, they call you, you pick it up. If you need your hand held, then look elsewhere.
As a high-volume dealer, they get people from all over the place. Here are my daughter and I placing a pin on our home town of Colorado Springs.
