This pains me :-\ After a trip to Europe last summer we realized at this point in our lives with young kids (hopefully one or 2 more in the near future), traveling with them is easier and more relaxing/enjoyable than rock crawling. With our telecommuting jobs we can take extended trips and work on the road, so we're selling Jezebel to fund an RV purchase. We'll probably end up with another JK or a SxS in a year or two. I doubt we could last long without something to wheel.
This has been a great rig, I've always tried to use components that would perform the best and last the longest. I never imagined I would be selling it. We have wheeled it hard and always enjoyed it. It has been flopped a few times and rolled once. Comes with an unpainted hood (with hood pin holes and highline already cut), I could just never get myself to paint it knowing how we wheel. In the back we currently have 2 car seats mounted to the tub (because twins). We also have a bench seat with mounts.
