Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

[Loudone]

Hello All, Quick introduction here. I am Joe and I am from the northwest suburbs of Chicago. On 7/22 I picked up a 22 Rubicon Unlimited and really enjoying it thus far. At first, I was hesitant about the 2.0L Turbo but not so much anymore.
I do not have major plans other than maybe upgrading the stereo system and some minor cosmetic changes. As a die-hard RUSH fan, I added an obligatory RUSH decal.

Here is a quick pic:

Hello,

My name is Steven located in Upstate SC. The wife and I have decided we want a fun car that don't have car seats and ect... We want a Jeep. It would be our first jeep. Looking to place an order on a Willy's Sport w/soft top and have been benefiting from the great resources and information that is within this forum. I found the order form and dealer list which both look helpful.

Just wanted to stop by and say hi.

Hi everyone.

im Steve from Texas. a long long time ago, I had a 2000 TJ. We had a kid, wife didn’t feel comfortable with a baby car seat in the back of the TJ so we became Jeepless and moved on to normal vehicles.

now that the baby is an obnoxious teenager about to need a set of wheels, we were looking at a used car for our teenager…. Since used cars are outrageous these days, we decided that instead of getting a used car for our teenager, maybe instead we get a Jeep… since my wife still feels bad about getting rid of the TJ….

I wanted the 4dr JLU, but she said why do you need 4 doors, it’s just you and the dog… and now we have a 2022 2dr JL Sport that’ll be my daily driver for my commute to work. And my kid gets the 2006 Honda Civic as his beater car.

Anyways have lots of catching up to do reading the forums.

what prompted me to register was the forum thread about what people are doing with their 2dr rear seat.

i still have the rear seat of my 2000 TJ. We put it on a furniture dolly 22 years ago right after I bought the Jeep. For the last 22 years, the TJ rear seat has been a couch on our back porch that we can roll around to wherever we need it.

now it’s about to be joined by the rear seat of the JL, so now we’ll have a pair of mismatched roll around patio couches.

 

[Willys4Me]

Hi All,

I'm Gregg from SE PA. I'm new to the forum, but not to Wranglers. I currently have the 2004 TJ in my sig. I was first introduced to Jeeps in the late 70's early 80's, as my buddy had a CJ5. That was so fun I've been wanting another for years. Bought the TJ from a neighbor 5 years ago. It's only got 101k miles and minimal rust (now anyway). I did need to replace the windshield frame as it was rusted out at the base. Fortunately.....there was no further rust anywhere near it.

I'm not afraid to work on things, as I replaced springs, shocks, steering stabilizer, LED H/L and T/L swap, added an amp and swapped out stereo head unit. As I get older (60 now) I tend to not want to dig in as much anymore....but saving money and doing things right the first time are still important.

I've got a Willys 2dr Silver Zynith on order and am very excited to take delivery....hopefully sooner than later, we shall see though.

Unfortunately I'll end up having to get rid of the TJ and G37 convertible when I take delivery. I do want to hold onto the TJ longer as I want to take the TJ and WIllys out to Rauch Creek with my son to do some wheeling.

I check into JL Forums and read every day trying to see what peoples experiences are and to give me ideas for the Willys.

Thanks for a great forum!

Gregg

 

[JAKE.JEEPER]

Hi everyone, my name is Jake. I'm 23, from New York and I work for a group of dealers specializing in finance at our Honda store. I come from a family of Jeepers, my father having about 13 Wranglers, my mother and I are both on our second. She had a 2011 JK Sport 2 door in Mango Tango with a manual and is now in a 19 2 door Sport S in Punk'n. (She must like orange 2 doors, lol.) Attached is a pic of my dad in his very first Wrangler and me in mine! Unfortunately I lost him due to cancer in 2019. He is the main reason my mom and I are still into Wranglers and will continue to drive them as they are so much fun and we've made awesome memories with them.

I am currently waiting on my 2023 High Altitude 4xe to be built, but loving my 22 JLU Sahara. Totally worth the upgrade over my 18 JK Sport S. I check this forum pretty much every day, and was frequently on jkforums.com, and I appreciate all of the knowledge that everyone has to share here!

New member checking in! We had a YJ during our couple years living in kodiak alaska, I put a winch on it but stock otherwise. Pic is from 2013

We had a lot of fun driving around some of the local trails but ended up selling it before moving back to NW Washington. Fast forward ten years and two kids later we’re back in a jeep, this time a 21 JLUR! In a couple months we put 5300 miles on the odo, covered six states and ran over 15 trails including Boulder Creek trail in Idaho and fins n things in Moab.

Im looking forward to meeting some of you in the future, I already met a member and purchased new R&P from him and he went out of his way to make sure I knew what I’m getting into with the install and answered quite a few questions. Thank you in advance to those who contribute to technical discussions, I’ve already learned a fair bit and there will be much more I’m sure.

I’m also interested in joining on some trail rides if you’re in NW WA please hit me up

here’s the new JL! This thing has changed our lives, so many more places to explore and things to see, this jeep is going to get us there while taking the most rugged and scenic routes this beautiful country has to offer.

Welcome to the Forum, from Cave Creek AZ.
A big congrats on the Children, and the two great looking Rides.. ?I'm sure that you have noticed a big difference, between the YJ and JLUR..
