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. :lol: If he had been driving your Jeep, he would have probably got it stuck too. :D
Glad you're enjoying your Jeep. Those were some quick miles. :o

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.
