Wife and I are out and about. Love this thing! Most fun I’ve ever had driving.

Looks good and congratulations. Jeeps are fun to run around in. I had a 2009, but later traded it in when I got my Ram 1500. I missed that jeep so much I went and bought a '93 Wrangler just of local driving. Enjoy!!!

I was playing a little today with some settings, found out it has some sort of a rock-crawl where you shift into 4L and then push a button on the dash, then you can shift from D(drive) to M +/- and set your speed at 1 through 6 MPH and the Jeep will go while all you do is steer. Like ultra slow motion cruise control.

That is a standard feature of the Iconic Rubicon model.
Great that your Jeep has it.

This "Willys" package has good value; rubicon suspension & shocks as well.

After almost 10k kms on the Jeep I really love it. Have been through some real nasty weather, bad roads of snow, ice and slush and it is extremely solid on the road. The BF Goodrich KM2 mud & snow tires are awesome.
I do have a funny little story though, was in the backcountry not too long ago and pulled a guy out of the snow. He'd gone a little too far where the snow had drifted across the trail and got high centered. He had a recovery strap with him, so I pulled him out in 4L.
The funny part?....he was driving a new 4Runner. Sorry Mark....

The idiot just didn't know how to drive.
If he had been driving your Jeep, he would have probably got it stuck too.
Glad you're enjoying your Jeep. Those were some quick miles.

Your post reminded of a great video of a package thief getting high centered on a snow bank. Kind of long as the homeowner keeps recording until the cops arrive, funny because the homeowner is standing on the porch shouting advice at the thief.
