Greeting from Japan

[KananagaS]

Got my 1st Jeep last weekend, it ease my home sick feeling. 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sahara loaded (all Japanese versions are loaded).

No mods yet, but ordered 17” wheels and BFG KO2 (285/70). Also hope to get the US version stock plastic front bumper with the two two hooks.

congrats on your new ride and welcome to the jl forum. as for the front bumper, you might want to look around and find something better than a stock us bumper.

Kananaga-san,

Welcome. Sharp looking wrangler. My wife and I considered that color as well.

I have been to Japan several times for work. I traveled just North of your city on one of my trips when I landed at Narita International and then took train from Tokyo station down to Nagoya Station.

Welcome aboard!!!!!

There is a site that many people use for aftermarket parts. It is called Quadratec. About anything can be found there.

Good luck!!!!

I was thinking some steel bumper selections, but was told by the dealer it may not pass the tag inspection. After getting the wheels on, I will spend more time to look around.

Is that stock front bumper mandated by Japan? Some kind of added crash protection?

Chris-san,

I also like the blue, but the dealer did not have inventory. It would take almost three months to get one from the US. That is a beautiful color as well.

I am actually just outside of Tokyo... about 70 minutes by Narita Express train. Got relocated by work to Japan in 2017, and finally I get to buy a car I want here.

hope the US online vendors are willing to ship to Japan.

 

[KananagaS]

Wheels I am going to install.

Sadly, yes. it is due to their highway safety regulation.

 

[RagTopDeluxe]

Welcome and congratulations on your beautiful Jeep!

 

[McCoys]

Sadly, yes. it is due to their highway safety regulation.

i was wondering why all the japanese JL owners do not have front aftermarket bumpers. Are they just illegal or is there something else?

 

[Notorious]

Sadly, yes. it is due to their highway safety regulation.

Those horny Italians made the Japanese edition Wrangler look like it has a massive boner in the front - I’m okay with this.

Welcome to the forum and congratulations on your purchase!
