Hello everyone, I’m Alex. I live on the Central Coast of California, in Santa Barbara County. I recently ordered a 2 door Wrangler Willys with a manual transmission and the 3.6 liter V6. For the past 20 years or so; I’ve driven mostly Toyota vehicles, (3 Tacomas, 2 4Runners and an FJ Cruiser). The Toyotas were all reliable, but not all that fun or exciting to drive, with the exception of the FJ. The 22 Wrangler won’t be my first Jeep; I’ve owned a 91 YJ, 95 Cherokee and a CJ-5.

With the used car market skyrocketing, I decided to sell my 2018 4Runner and ordered the JL. Now I find myself on this forum daily drooling over everyone else’s cool builds and trying to be patient while I wait for my new Jeep.

Howdy Y’all!
Hailing from South Texas, moving to Puerto Rico this summer, so we ( my wife and I got us a 2018 JLU lifted with wheels/tires, bumpers, rock rails, high lift jack ?.
I’m finally back in a Jeep after losing my 2015 Wrangler JKU in a deal gone bad with a family member. Anywho…! This jeep has some odd (to me) upgrades and one I can’t figure out. I’ll post in general discussion about. But I’m glad I found this group, seems like any questions I have will find an answer lol.

P.S. We need a name for our Jeep ?

Hello everyone! My name is Josh and I’m from Costa Mesa in Southern California. I purchased my Rubicon 4XE in July, and I have about 8200 miles on it so far. I have done several off-road trips including Moab, Big Bear, and different desert areas. Nice to meet you all and look forward to seeing you out on the trail!

Hello from across the pond (Sweden) ?

Bought my first Jeep a couple of months ago, a new to me 2020 Rubicon 2.0t in Ocean blue. There’s so many mods to do, it’s like I’m reliving the days of racing and modding my rc cars, just 20x the price tags. ?

Picture taken on a trip to the Sahara desert.

Mods so far are Arb bondi deluxe bumper, planning on KC light bar and 285/75/17 Ko2’s. This car is already more than capable for the off-roading i am doing right now!

Cheers guys! ?

Great picture! Would love to see more pictures! Enjoy your ride!

My son had an FJ and a while back he let me use it for a few days. To my surprise I liked it and it was a strong runner/quick. All country roads and the town no off-road. I like it.

Howdy! Long time Toyota owner here but stoked to have just picked up a ‘21 JLU Rubicon EcoDiesel. Excited to see what the hype is all about!

I think the Willys has to be the best of the best when talking Jeep. Very nice.

Hiya! New here and I’m about to order a Rubicon. Both my husband and I have ’99 jeeps (mine is a Sport Wrangler and his is a lifted Cherokee). We used them mainly for off-roading but we haven’t gone out for several years due to, well, life. Planning to start wheelin’ again with the new Rubicon but most likely go on simpler trails.
Here’s a picture of my Sport which is currently at the shop. P.S. I guess Jeeps do hold their value, I was quoted 7k for a trade at the dealer even though it needs some work. I was pleasantly surprised.
