Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

New member from Spotsylvania Virginia, just purchased my JLU Sport on Saturday. This is my first Wrangler, traded in my 2016 RAM 1500 with 4" lift and 35's for the Wrangler. I am looking forward to learning a lot and hopefully contributing as well. I have had many lifted trucks and I am looking forward to wrenching on the Jeep.

Need pictures!

Hi, new here. From Quebec, just ordered my first jeep on the 9th of september. I always buy new vehicule from the dealer's stock, it's my first custom build and i'm really eager to see it. I've read a lot on this forum and it's really cool to see a community around one precise model/make. I am now feeling the jeep virus slowly growing in me and i begin to understand my old friens who has always be in a old fucked up jeep since i know him. I bought a 2020 jlu sport in blue, manual. The addons I wanted did not exist here in canada. Originally me and me girlfriend wanted a manual 4x4 6 seater, but that does not exist here, only in europe.... So after a test drive in a used 2017 manual JK we decided to go for that.

Heyas. Shannon here, new to forum, new to Jeep ownership. Booneville, MO with a 2019 Wrangler Sport S JL Unlimited... Lots of fancy words and letters for a new red 4dr Jeep... Was off the lot, so a few options missing I am working on.

1)Mopar 4 button aux power kit (here).
2)Cobra 75wx CB (on the way) with cooltech mount kit and fire stick antenna/wire.
3)Rugged Ridge Rock Rails (installed).
4)Quadratech 2" trailer receiver and 2-bike rack.
5)Planning on rhino lining the grill when I get a day off.

Of course, it's daily driver for now, so tires will wait until these wear out, then want a vinyl hood decal for glare, LED headlights, tubular bumper and winch...


Already have parts on the way for a few projects, some that I read in here already. See ya around.

Ive failed to introduce myself when I joined so here I am. Lurked on the forum for awhile before I made a purchase, picked up a used '18 JLUR stingray with about 14xxx miles on it. Has some options I didnt really care for at first but love now and its also missing a couple I wish I had like painted fenders/hard top but its not the end of the world not having them.

First thing I did was a stubby antenna and tinted the front windows, then I got the american adventure lab fender lights and 37's.

Hunt around the members for sale section people trade painted tops for the black ones all the time. Could get lucky and have zero cost to get your self the painted top!

Introducing myself and “Grover”, our ~ month old 2019 JLU Rubicon.

After 28 years missing my first Jeep - a 1971 CJ5 that I bought as a senior in college - I’ve finally got a Jeep to take on some adventures with my family. My son and I took a trip to Joshua Tree National Park this summer and did some exploring in a rented Jeep. That sealed the deal.

We considered a used Sahara but I knew that what I really wanted was something a bit more capable. This Jeep will certainly not be a ‘mall crawler’.

I’ve really appreciated the information shared in the forum as I have gotten to know my new Jeep. I put that information to use with my only ‘modification’ to date - a Mopar tow hitch for my bike rack (and perhaps a small trail ready teardrop trailer eventually).

I split time between Oak Park, IL (Chicago) and Stevensville, MI (Southwest MI) and am looking forward to meeting some other folks in the area on the trails.

My kids and I took Grover out for some off-roading last weekend at Cliff’s Insane Terrain Off Road Park in Marseilles, IL. It was a bunch of muddy fun. It definitely moved the acquisition of a winch up on the priority list.

Finally, I’ll Introduce ‘Nigel’ - Grover’s garage mate. A 1968 Land Rover Series IIa. More of a rolling opportunity to learn engine mechanics than an active off-roader. Nigel certainly catches his share of Jeep Waves and parking lot comments. Great fun and a perfect complement to our new Jeep.

I look forward to participating in this community. See you on the trails.

Hi all! I'm Edward from Madrid, Spain. I owned a 2012 JK 2dr Rubicon until 2017. I had always wanted a Jeep since I first saw the YJ but never took the brave step until 2014. It was all I expected and more. The experience of diving with he top down was unbeatable. Only drawback was having to take the hard top off and then back on at the end of the autumn. Unfortunately had to sell my Rubicon as I moved country, but all is well as I have just ordered a MY20 JLU Rubicon.... soft top! Cannot wait to get it and restart the Jeep life!!

UPDATE - just popped into the dealer to see how my order is going. Ordered in July and they told me it would be shipped end of October for delivery in December. Well didn't I just get a nice surprise when the dealer told me it is already on its way and should be delivered by early November!!!! Can't wait!!
