Hello everyone. Josh from SC. New to the forums but on my 2nd Jeep( next will be a CJ). Have a 16 JKU and just added a 19 JLUR. Love the upgrades on the JL. Suspension on the Rubicons is also a nice surprise. New Jeep already getting lifted next week. Absolutely love it.

Hello from the Coal Region in Pa. Just purchased my 4th jeep. 2019 JLU Rubicon in Granite Metallic. Previously owned a 2006 Wrangler Sport in Blue, then a 2013 JKU Sport in Commando Green, Currently have a 1965 Willys CJ-5 with the Dauntless V6.

Forum has been great so far. Learning lots.

Only quirks I found with the JLU is the Sirius/XM cuts out way too much due to poor signal and the back up camera at night is horrible. I have the LED package.

After about a year and a half of (over)thinking... I picked up my perfect JLU this week. Exact spec I'd custom order, but didn't have to because it was sitting unsold on a lot nearby for well over a year. V6 Sport, Softtop, Dana 44 rear, Tow, Aux, XM, Tint, even the floormats. I chalk it up to my utter hatred for touchscreens and driver aides. Roll down windows and tactile knobs for hot/cold/loud/soft make me giddy, but I realize I'm in a small minority.

I sold a very practical AWD hauler (Honda Element) and very fun roadster (FCA/Mazda Fiat 124) to pick this up - was worried I'd regret it... but two days in and this is the most fun thing with 4 wheels I've ever owned.

Finally had a chance to break it in around some of my favorite local fire roads today and could not be happier.

Hi my name is Josh, and my wife Pepper and I just bought a white JLUR. We live in Santa Monica and we’ve taken it to Mammoth and Arizona and a few other places in Southern California. I’m an ‘on set medic’ for commercial production and I get to drive it off-road to many of our locations. First thing I’m getting is a CB so I can talk to you fine folks.
We hope to see y’all on the trails!

PICS!!!! Sounds like a good looking JL and sounds like some scenic trips!

Hello!


Last weekend I picked up my first Jeep Wrangler: a 2019 Granite Crystal Metallic JLUR and I absolutely LOVE it! I was able to test drive the 2.0L turbo and V6 back to back and the acceleration and mpg ratings of the 2.0L won out in the end.


My prior vehicle was a 2007 Nissan Xterra that was built up and wheeled/taken offroad often over the 12 years/198k miles of ownership. It was a great vehicle, but ultimately became too unreliable and it was time to say goodbye.

This forum has already been an awesome resource for info and I’m excited to start a new adventure vehicle (and daily driver) chapter! :D

First time Jeep owner here. Never thought I’d own a Jeep. My first car (low-milage ‘81 Cressida) was fun to drive but every vehicle after that was the “practical choice”. (Spoiler: lots of Hondas). Rented a Jeep on a lark before a trip to the Candian Rockies and Colorado. We didn’t offroad, but we did climb Mount Evans and we all fell in love with the Jeep. Bought a brand-new ‘18 Sahara a couple weeks after getting home.

This forum has been invaluable as I learn the ins and outs of my new obsession. Thanks!

Just picked up a new 2018 JL Rubicon Auto 3.6 (tried the manual but the 8spd auto was it). My last Jeep was a CJ5 back in 1993.
About to add 37in Baja Boss on a 2.5in Clayton Premium Lift...I'll post pics when all's installed.
Lot's of good reading on the forums here and the honest genuine comments are great.

Drove home a 2019 Sport last night.
Read through the entire User Guide, skipping equipment not on mine and all the warnings. Wow the book is half warnings.
Starting to transfer all the stuff from my 2010 JK. Lots of stuff.
Looking forward to the Mojave in September.

This is my 8th Jeep, and by far the best so far. I had a 2012 Black Rubicon with a 3" lift, bumpers, wheels and tires and other goodies. I am just starting the build on this one. Just put the wheels and 35"s on, new bumper this weekend, and Roam sidesteps on order. I wanted a light color this time, the silver still looks clean when it is dirty. We like to take it to the boonies, but it is also our date car as well. This one has the Sky Touch roof, and so far really like it.

Hi, new member here. Been thinking about a Wrangler unlimited for a year or two now. Finally getting ready to order a JLRU with 6spd MT very soon. Just can't decide between the green or blue.

Hello, new member finally joined the forum after browsing for a while. I've had my Jeep JL for almost a year and loving it. Getting ready to take it off road on the beach for the first time later this month.

New member and Wrangler owner checking in. Drove her home last night and did not want to stop driving. Is it bad I wanted to call in sick today and go find some dirt? Hope to have some pictures soon!
