Hello all. I am new to this forum. My family has driven Jeeps our entire lives but they've always belonged to my grandparents. My family is now buying a Jeep and we want to make sure to get everything right. We're aiming for a 2011 Rubicon Limited with a manual transmission. The Jeep will be used quite a bit off road on mountain passes with steep ascents and descents. Outside of that it will be used year round as a "ranch" car.
Right now we aren't sure between a soft top or hard top. We're looking to do several aftermarket modifications as well (lift, wheels/tires, winch, bumpers) but I am not sure where to begin on that. I've scanned the forum for pictures in order to get ideas but as far as lift brand, height, wheel/tire size I am still unsure what would be best. We only want a minor lift. My guess would be no more than 3".
If you have any suggestions we are very open. Is there anything you would have done differently when buying your Jeep?
Thanks all and Merry Christmas!
