JK Wrangler Willys Wheeler - Chopper

My wife pick up her first vehicle ever. We've been keeping an eye out for dark green Jeeps for some time now and this one came up on Facebook marketplace a few weeks ago. 1-owner with 67K miles, the vehicle was well loved and maintained. It was a no brainer really.

We finally registered and took it home this weekend. It's now affectionally named "Chopper" after the rather sassy Star Wars droid C1-10P. She wanted to get to know this vehicle a bit more and learn some things so today I had her do the first oil change under her ownership.

Getting ready for the oil change

After only have nothing but lowered sports cars, it's a bit of a breath of fresh air to have a vehicle that's so easy to work on, you don't even have to jack it up to change the oil. A few mopar oil filter and 6 quarters of Castrol Edge 5W-20 was put in since the last oil change was around 5K miles and 7 months ago.

We also took the opportunity to clean up the interior a bit more, getting rid of unnecessary decals and velcro everywhere.
