Default Just got 2 Jeeps - '12 Sahara Wrangler & '12 Altitude Cherokee
Bought a slightly used 2012 Sahara Unlimited with 7k miles but already had a Skyjacker 4" lift, tint and 35" tires. The new 3.6L engine is light years better than previous 3.8L! I only need to figure out what spare tire mount to use for the 35" spare and it is done (for now). No more stupid fake plastic chrome grill insert like my 2008...





Also got 2012 Jeep Cherokee Altitude edition. All Black (like everything is black..lol).. V8, dual pane sunroof, etc.... Not much I can even think of to do to it. Front windows are tinted now. Maybe swap for fatter tires. Has 255's but they don't fill up the fenders.

Nice Jeeps! 4" lift is really big for only 35's. Stuff some bigger tires in there

I thought you were going to get the funky neon pea green color.

My 2008 sucked ass compared to the 2012! 08's are horribly underpowered...especially with 35" tires..

I saw a lifted white Sahara the other day with a white hardtop that looked incredible. Nice choice.
