Re-read the question.

For me, first day. That night I cut my stock front bumper with a sawzall.

Four months. After polishing and waxing for months, we went to the Land Between the Lakes yesterday and did some 100 level forest service roads. One of them left me white-knuckled and my fiance' pale. The amount of mud and rocks deposited onto the Jeep was too much. I have a TJ for this! Took me thirty-plus minutes and about $10 at the local spray wash to even get close to removing the crap. Not worth it. I was more concerned about tree limbs giving me pin stripes. But we had a blast! I'll be back....

We live on 225 acres.......most of the roads on the property are gravel........a few are dirt.....she has been more dusty than dirty.......most of the delay is we live on the river and now that the weather is warm we have the new boat...........

About 3000 miles. I was traveling nearly every weekend for other reasons, so no Jeep driving.
Went out to Anza-Borrego this week. Just some lite trails. Calite mine and so on.

Anyhow... figured out that the upper and lower track bar bolt were lose Also both sides of the sway bar were lose. Was rattling like heck on the trail. Super annoying.
Not sure whats up with Jeeps quality control that they are not even to tighten bolts.

Got my JKU in July of 2013 and took it deer hunting in southern Utah in October (3 months). Brought it home with a bad case of Utah pin-striping. My wife made me take it down to get it detailed. Most of the scratches came out except for the ones on the top and fenders. She would have shit if she would have seen the dead buck in the back.

I'm waiting for a group in CO to meet up on a day I actually have off and the girlfriend hasn't claimed that time. :D But I bought mine last Wednesday, and can't wait to enjoy it off the road as much as I enjoy it on the road. I can't believe the difference in daily driveability the 3.6 has over the 3.8 I had.

Picked it up on a Saturday and we were in the desert on Sunday.
