HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTO JEEPS?
My husband bought our first family Jeep shortly after we married in 2005. I always associated it with joy riding while soaking up the sunshine and singing loudly. But, I finally got one of my very own in 2018--a Xtreme Purple Wrangler Rubicon. This really ignited my fire for Jeep culture and I took joy in customizing my build and really making it my own. My Tuscadero 392 is now the third Jeep that I have owned and the 6th in our family.
WHAT MADE YOU CHOOSE THE COLOR OF YOUR JEEP?
I sold my purple JKU with intentions of ordering a 392. I got impatient and ended up purchasing a Sting Gray JLU with a Turbo engine. While it was so much fun to drive, I really missed driving a fun colored Jeep. So, once Jeep released the 392 in Tuscadero Pink, I knew that it had to be mine!
HAVE YOU DONE ANY UPGRADES? AND IF SO, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
This baby is loaded, so I don't want for much. Unlike my on my purple Jeep, I had the desire to keep the mods on my pink one relatively "tame". I have done some custom decals and tinting, but the only real mods I have done is installed larger tires and changed out the factory wheels.
WHAT IS THE CRAZIEST PLACE YOU HAVE TAKEN YOUR JEEP?
I haven't had her for very long, so nowhere crazy!
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO TAKE YOUR JEEP NEXT?
I am looking forward to taking her to Florida this spring to cruise up and sown Highway 30A with the top back!
WHAT IS YOUR INSTAGRAM?
WHAT IS THE NEXT UPGRADE THAT YOU WANT FOR YOUR JEEP?
I think I'm done! After owning a Jeep with LOTS of aftermarket parts, I just want to keep this build simple.
DO YOU DO THE UPGRADES OR DO YOU TAKE IT TO A SHOP? IF SO WHICH SHOP?
We do many of the upgrades in our driveway but for the major stuff, we only trust Addicted Autoworks in Calvert, TX. My husband's LJ is currently being built there by shop owner, Jason Webb.
IF YOU CAN RECOMMEND ONE THING FOR JEEPERS, WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Enjoy and when building and customizing your Jeep, be unique!
WHAT MADE YOU START YOUR JEEP INSTA PAGE?
Buying my 2018 JKU.
ARE YOU ATTENDING ANY JEEP MEET UPS THAT PEOPLE CAN COME CHECK OUT YOUR JEEP?
We may be attending the Lone Star Jeep Invasion this spring in Conroe, TX. I don't have any immediate plans, but would love to someday participate in Jeep Beach and the Smokey Mountain Jeep Invasion.
