    Used to drive a 2005 LJ and now I've got this gorgeous new-to-me 2011 Trail that I can't wait to make my own.

    Came lifted with what looks like plasti-dipped wheels, paint and interior are awesome. Frame is coated but looks like they didn't brush everything off first, but nothing catastrophic noticeable

    So far: blacked out badges, cup holders (ha!), ceramic tinted windows

    Next: Factory JBL subwoofer with (probably) kicker upgrade, Dasaita touch screen head unit, factory bug deflector, window rain guards, ordered 2x LFD crossbars (came with none), leather-wrap arm rest

    Thanks! I dropped everything and drove 6 hours away to get it when I saw it pop up. I had mostly been looking for 4th Gen V8's

    Howdy! I'm actually considering moving back, I wheeled my LJ out of Denver and my first trail was Chinaman's if you can believe it. Open diffs and 33's (disconnected sway bar obviously), and I didn't do the whale's tail I think it's called

    Meh I loved my Jeep. Never let me down, those old 4.0L's are quite bulletproof (maybe not as much as the 4R's but still)

    But boy do I like pushing a button for a sunroof now :D

    Welcome!

    Make sure the rear locker works.

    Do the rear diff and rear locker breather extensions.

    yep they all *seemed* to work on dry pavement when I could not turn very well haha (in a VERY slow residential block). Also the indicators on the dash came on...

    I'll keep the breather extensions in mind. I'm currently pulling my hair out over audio first, and then have to consider swapping the 2" spacers it came with for a proper lift.

    I forgot to mention it has a K&N short air intake. I need to replace the filter it's FILTHY

    Welcome! Nice find, I love those Trails in that red. Mine is silver, still looks good, but pretty boring. I think most of them came in silver.
