Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

[Old Dogger]

Hello,

I'm Steve from the Arkansas Ozarks. I just picked up a 2025 2 door JL Rubicon to add to the fleet. My other Jeeps are a 2005 Unlimited Rubicon fully built on Dana 60s with ARBs and all the usual goodies and a mildly built 2016 2 door Rubicon on 35s. So now I have a 2 door Rubicon from every generation.

I hope to find and maybe even contribute some good info here as I upgrade the new JL. So far it is stock except for a front bumper and winch.

First day home:

Howdy y’all! I’m Joe from Port Orchard,Wa. Say hello to BlackHawk my beautiful 2025 Pitch Black 2 Door JL Sport 6MT with a soft top. Picked it up on Monday. Had 12 miles on it. I wanted the 41 but it was only available in a hard top and an automatic(no thanks previous problems on my grand Cherokee).

This was today out in Ellensburg, Wa on Quilomene Ridge Road. Left the house with 140 miles on the clock!

Had the wife’s Escalade out there too but just a people mover this time. We always stop here for an after photo cause it’s just a cool spot! Just got home and now have 503 miles on the clock! I have a set of brand new 255/75/17 Firestone Destination MT2s From my previous Jeep that will fit perfectly on BlackHawk! I look forward to chatting and learning from the wealth of knowledge that is the Jeep community. This is the 2nd Jeep I’ve owned 1st Jeep to get compliments!

This was my 2018 Grand Cherokee WhiteWolf on a 2.5” lift with falken wild peak MT 34x12s it was a beast! If you’re interested you can see it in action on my buddy’s YouTube channel Grand Exploration it’s some cinematic stuff! Anyway nice to meet y’all!

Hi, Jeff from Indiana. Picked this 2024 Rubicon XR yesterday afternoon. I will be putting her to work when we head back out to Phoenix for the winter this fall. This will give me a few months to find an oem steel 3-piece bumper and winch. Crown King is calling her name

HI Everyone,

After a lifetime of being drawn to these things, and a 5 year deliberation of looking and looking and talking ourselves out of it, finally pulled the trigger on a new to me 2020 Sahara Altitude. Looking forward to the community and the adventures that await!
