Not yet in Richmond - though I know for a fact there's another JLUR about 2 miles from me as we've chatted on here. Just haven't crossed paths yet.

I have gotten some good looks and waves from other Wrangler owners, and while I was puling out of work today I did have a guy walking in the street randomly say "hey, a JL" - so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

I've seen about 4 or 5 since I picked mine up a couple weeks ago -- more than half were Saharas and a couple Rubicons. Then again I'm near the Chrysler headquarters in Metro Detroit and there is an engineering facility near work where I used to see them drive out in bunches while still in camo. Those were always exciting to see.

I've seen one sport, but that's it. It's getting hard to get a jeep wave around here, and I was wondering if it would be harder once I'm in the JL, or easier.

1600 miles and still not another one in the wild! I've been stopped in traffic, approached in parking lots, been photographed by a vehicle driving behind me, but no others in the wild. I think I like it!

I was just thinking about this today. Still all alone in my part of the world too. I saw one on a dealer lot and it’s gone now but have passed anyone on the road yet. I have gotten many long looks from other Jeep owners.

The kids and I play count the Wranglers when driving around. We normally spot 4-6 JK's / TJ's within a 3ish mile commute.

Still haven't seen that mythical unicorn yet...

I have not seen any here in VT, not surprised since my salesman said there have only been 4 sold in the whole state so far and he's pretty sure I was number ONE! woohoo!!!
I've seen a few other wranglers NOT waving to me, sup wit dat? (well, one dude in a red one has NEVER waved, so he doesn't count). I have still gotten some waves, no strange stares yet tho.

I've seen one, but I know there are others. a couple of them are members of this forum.
Have had many JK's give me the thumbs up.
i think the guy in the Ram pickup the other day might have hurt his neck when he craned around trying to check out my bright red Rubicon...
LOL

Local dealer (Upstate NY) got 4 JLU's in the other day. One Sahara in the bunch. Today, 2/21/18 the Sales Manager let me climb on, crawl under, poke here and there, open and close compartments, fool with roof panels, sit in, the 2018 fully loaded,Sahara JLU hardtop. I was like a kid in a candy store.

So many questions I had were answered in the 30-40 mins. I spent molesting that Sahara.

I left the dealership thinking geeeez, Jeep did a real decent job on the 2018 JL/JLU. Also that the Sales Manager was real decent letting me paw over the Sahara... Especially since he knew I ordered my JL, 12 miles away at another Jeep dealer after his deal with me fell through because he and the stealership's owner low balled me by $3000 on my trade. I walked when they did that.

I get the waves, that's for sure!! That new grille looks beast mode! I've had many comment that that they heard about JL but they new very little. Jeep needs a commercial that highlights the new look features. Don't get me wrong, the T-Rex was awesome though.
