Cheers all, Charlie here and a new JL owner. Drove conservative trucks for 20 years, finally retired and always wanted a 2 door so I made it happen. Big outdoor camper, definitely crawling the Jeep camping threads. See you all on the trails!

New JL owner here , just picked up a 2dr sport yesterday. Had a few jk’s in the past and took a break for a while with some other vehicles. Glad to be back. Parts on order but here is my “ before” pic from today with 140 miles on it.

Seems like membership is growing nicely lately but I didn't see an intro thread, so I'll start!

I'm Rob from NY. I daily a Grand Cherokee and got a project TJ SE that I've had for years and will hopefully keep forever. Was considering a JKU as a weekend outdoor activity car for the family, but figured the JL Unlimited is right around the corner so why not wait. Happy to be here for the last few months following all the great news and coverage of the JL Wrangler.
First time poster - long time lurker - have had Jeep fever since college and just pulled the trigger on a ‘20 JLUR - couldn’t be happier! Looking forward to hearing everyone’s suggestions around upgrades, keeping with small kids and any good trails in the Midwest (I live in the St Louis area). Thanks in advance for your future wisdom and suggestions!!

Hi Evan, ok the first thing you gotta do in keeping with small kids is.....Hahahaha just kidding pal, welcome to the forum and congrats on your new Jeep. You’re gonna love it. Especially when the weather gets nice. My only mod is power running boards because I live in NYC. so my Jeep’s pretty much stock. I think to go trailing I’ve got to go to Pennsylvania. Mind as well be Transylvania it’s just to far. Fear not though, these folks in these rooms know their stuff. You’ll get all your questions answered right in this excellent forum. Enjoy buddy.

Thanks for the words of encouragement - I’ve already learned a lot from the wise community here and really enjoy hearing the stories and seeing the photos - I am getting excited for some warm jeep weather soon

2019 Jeep Wrangler Sport
First time Jeep owner. I picked up a 2019 Sport a few weeks ago, and I look forward to many years of fun and modifications. I've had a couple of Mustangs and really benefited from the advice and recommendations in the forums that I belonged to. I'm sure that this will be equally, if not more, rewarding.
So far, I've had it tinted and installed Westin HDX side rails/steps. I've got a set of Fuel Vapor wheels and Mickey Thompson tires on order at 4 Wheel Parts. This quarantine/virus thing has slowed shipping, but it looks like they'll be in soon. After that, I'm thinking about a small lift and who knows what I'll come up with after that...bumpers and maybe a winch?

Welcome Brian, congrats and yes this is a great forum, these folks can give you better advice than the Jeep company themselves. My Jeep is stock except for power running boards so I’ll let the real professionals in here help you with the mods.
I went to Maui a few years ago for my nephews wedding. We rented a Mercedes Benz convertible. I bring this up because one thing etched in my mind was that open roof in that weather. Even at night. Wait until you take off or open your roof and remove those Jeep doors. You’re never gonna want to go home!
