First Timer Introduction

[Johnny B]

Thank you very much for the warm welcome. I never knew about that acronym Yeah, there's a lot of Wranglers around here that go crazy with mods. But for me, I'm not really into that jazz. We're just gonna keep it stock. It just looks so good as is.

See what you just said? "Not really into all that"... I can still remember how those same words rolled off my lips too. But that was before I went and got a great deal on a soft top, a rubi steel bumper, and skid plate. A ton of lighting stuff, and the new wheels and tires. So, when that day comes when you find yourself looking for just a little something to make your awesome looking Jeep look a little more awesome. It's ok, we've ALL been there, done that. And we hold you free from any shame for saying the same thing we ALL said at one time. But, remember, and most important. ENJOY your Jeep. That's why you got it! You're in good company my brother... Promise!

Hello everyone! My name is Connor. My middle name being Jordan which gave me the nickname CJ since childhood. Which is fitting since the first civilian Jeep was nicknamed the Jeep C.J. First-time Wrangler owner. Granted, we've had Jeeps in the past such as an XJ Jeep Cherokee 2Dr followed by a ZJ Jeep Grand Cherokee a few years later. The first car I ever learned to drive on was a 2007 Jeep Liberty. I nicknamed that the Cheap Liberty because it was a total piece of garbage but most of you already knew that

We just purchased a brand-new 2024 Jeep Wrangler 4DR Sahara in Earl Grey. We traded in a Ford Bronco Sport Outer Banks which we enjoyed for a little while but we wanted something more capable. My family and I plan to move up to New England sometime next year. Having a better state of mind with a 4WD transfer case, more robust 3.6L V-6, body-on-frame construction for toughness, and popping the tops off during the cool months and taking in the scenery were the reasons for this decision. So far it's been great, especially in the looks department! I now fully understand the appeal of Wranglers, especially in their famous bold colors. How can you not like it? There's nothing out there that looks like it (closest comparison being the full-size Bronco) and are known for their healthy following. Not to mention they are absolutely everywhere down here in South Florida! Same goes for the Gladiator sibling.

I'm most impressed with the ride quality considering I've driven Wranglers in the past and absolutely hated them. They can't drive in a straight line, they're rattly, not well insulated, crappy interiors and have poor driving manners, but that's no longer the case with the current one. They've definitely improved the suspension and insulation since the JL generation because it drives really well for what it is. No rattles (so far), it soaks bumps well, has a sharp turning radius for being body-on-frame with a live front and rear axle, seats are fairly comfortable, the interior quality is much improved and the overdue modern tech is a welcome addition. I forgot as part of the 2024 refresh, they integrated their newest 12.3-inch UConnect 5 touchscreen. It's very intuiative and has great response time unlike our slow and dated Sync 3 in the Bronco Sport. I'm still learning as a go on but from what I can take in so far, I'm really enjoying it. My dad loves it to pieces!

Thank you all for tuning in and I hope you enjoy the pics. And yes, our salesman threw in some ducks on the house! Gotta keep the tradition going!

Welcome! Definitely the best color!

Must me me, but CJ's Earl does kinda stand out color wise.

That's what I like most about it. I hate driving what everyone else has. I like to stand out from the crowd. Jeep has been known for their vivid colors but I think this is their best one. It reminds me a lot of Ford's Cactus Grey and Toyota's Lunar Rock. They're all very similar in shade.

I wasn't a big fan of the Earl. But yours, it honestly does stand out. Could be a ceramic coat, or a seriously waxed up vehicle. But it does stand out. You'll get attention, no doubt. But like I keep saying. ENJOY! That is the most important thing I can say to every new Jeep owner. You got one, explore all the awesome things you can do with it.

Thank you once again. I enjoy yours too. Yellow just fits the character of a Jeep. My all-time favorites over the years are Sting Grey, Mojito Green, Hydro Blue, Plum Crazy Purple, Orange Crush, just to name a few.

Wife loves her yellow vehicles. So when she set out to find that one Jeep that would look great on a beach, as much as in the woods. She went the right way with Hella Yella. Your Earl, me thinks that too would look pretty amazing on a beach, as well as in the woods. But hey, you'll figure out where your adventures are taking you. Make the most of it, explore a little, enjoy a lot!
