THE ACCESSORY DREAM GUIDE
Year/Make/Model:
2016 Jeep Wrangler
Unlimited Rubicon
Owner:
Davy Greenlees
Location:
Prince George, BC
Davy Greenlees’ 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon is called Rescue because:
“A rescue-themed Jeep was my build concept, after being a member of our Local JERC
(Jeep Emergency Rescue Crew). Recently”, Davy helped start a new group called North
Cariboo Overland Adventures. NCO Adventures is a team of off-road enthusiasts based
out of Prince George and they have big goals. They want to share the beauty of their back-
yard with other off-roaders near and far, while promoting “leave no trace” adventuring by
working with the Ministry of Natural Resources to protect the land. They also want to keep
areas open to off-road vehicles, support local businesses and benefit local charities by
planning and executing special events. In fact, when he begins to list all of the groups he
either started or is a member of, it soon becomes clear that this is his main passion in life: “I
also started a group for youth aged 18 to 26 with Scouts Canada, the 22
nd
Scouts Canada
Overland Rovers Expeditions, (22SCORE), I’m also with Overland Bound.”The handle Rescue not only suites the Jeep, but also its owner.
Davy’s love of Jeeps began early: “As a young fan of The Dukes Of Hazard, though I thought
the General Lee was pretty awesome, I always really liked Dixie, Daisy Duke’s 1980 CJ-7
Golden Eagle Edition Jeep. It wasn’t until my adult years when I started wrenching on Jeeps
that I decided it was time to get one. My first Jeep was a 1974 CJ-5 and soon after that,
I bought another one, trading in my truck for a lifted and well-used 2010 Jeep Wrangler
Unlimited. I fell in love with the Jeeps’ ability to
go places during all the adventures I was suddenly
going on. That, and the ability to modify the Jeep
with seemingly endless options. Thus began my
relationship with my local Raven/NSOR store.
While contemplating a trip to Jeep Mecca, Moab
UT, for the 50
th
anniversary of the Easter Jeep
Safari, I began to think about how great it would
be to start from scratch and have everything built
‘my way’. I eventually purchased a stock Rubicon
and began the build, with only one month to have
it ready to go to Moab. Immediately, I had the dealership install the 4.5” BDS Suspension Long
Arm lift. They also installed the aftermarket drive shafts to keep the angles nice! ”He chose to
begin with the lift “so I could stuff on 35” Good Year Wrangler MTR’s with Kevlar! After I picked
up the Jeep, I used their parking lot to install the front bumper, a Smittybilt Gen 1 XRC Bumper
and my Warn Winch.”When he finally drove it off the lot, it felt like a Dream Ride.
