On sat I bid farewell to my lightning. With baby #2 due in a few months I needed some thing that could seat more then 3. So I picked up a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. I'm surprised on how much room these Jeeps have. The great thing is it averages 17-19 mpg around town. I would like to thank everyone on here for helping me out and giving me that damn Mod Bug. Here are a couple of pics

Sorry to hear man. My wife used to have a Wrangler and I HATED it!!! The new 4 doors would be alright I think. The Rubicon is the best though, you can go places in that the L would NEVER go. I think KB makes a kit for it too. :thumbsup:

I remember years ago when I had to part with a well liked high performance vehicle because of a growing family. Well, a man has to do what a man has to do.

Sorry to hear about the Lightning. Family comes first. You'll be able to get another "hotrod" in the future.

Noooooooooooo!

Understandable though. Hate to see you part with the L, but family comes first.

Congrats on the new ride, I've been wanting to drive one of those for awhile now.
