Made a trip to the Island for a special Thing

Yesterday I convinced my friend josh to drag my lazy ass to Duncan On Vancouver Island to look at a new Jeep.

A bright yellow Jeep Wrangler JL parked in front of a Honda dealership, under a partly cloudy blue sky — Taking this 2021 Jeep Wrangler JL for a test spin at the Duncan Honda dealership – because it is the only Used Manual Jeep for sale in all of Canada!

Why all the way to the island you might ask? Well this here is the only Used Manual Transmission Jeep Wrangler JL that I could find IN ALL OF CANADA. There was potentially one in Gibsons and another in White Rock but after some phone calls and getting folks to look inside these actual jeeps they were confirmed to be Automatics. So this was the last one that is any sort of searchable database.

A yellow Jeep parked in a row of cars under a large, cloudy sky, with trees and houses visible in the distance. — Under a dramatic sky, the Jeep waits among the ferry lineup! It looks like I am easily recognizable again.

So after some negotiations and haggling (which I really hate doing) I bought this new jeep. I am again in a bright yellow easy to spot 4×4 :) It is almost like the Xterra Lives on in this Jeep.

It is Bone stock but it is a Rubicon which will mean that there will be much less to Mod up on it!

and Of course it has a lot of new connected amenities that means that it will be updating in the least desirable moments :)
