Well, I;m (BACK), I've posted a couple NORCAL THEADS, but I thought I'd add here--

I've had 5 WRANGLERS (2 RUBICONS), one EXTERRA and several RANGE ROVERS--SINCE 1960--a lotta DODGE 4WD TRUCKS, so I've done more than my share of off-road/snow driving and now-
I have this JEEP GLADIATOR, which (except for size) is the best off-road vehicle I've ever had, I've been modifying it for almost two months !
I've added HOOD STRUTS/TANNEAU COVER/WHEELS /35" TIRES/overhead insul/port/stbd SWING CARGO CASES--

I've gotta COBRA CB ON ORDER AND i SHOULD GET THAT IN A COUPLE DAYS--I don't know how popular the CB is any more, but I used my last one several years ago for truckers(I 80) and jeeps in the NEVADA BLM AREAS-

Heh Heh, believeit or not, I still carry my 40 year-old HI-LIFT JACK even though there aren't any trees here in the Norhtern nevada BLM--This Hi-Lift has saved my bacon several times in SNOW and SAND !

We're due a WHOLE BUNCHA SNOW HERE IN THE NEXT WEEK--SO i'M LOOKING FORWARD TOIT !

HAVE A GREAT DAY--JIMBO !

Hi all,

I recently bought a 2023 JL Rubicon. My wife has a 23 Sahara. I have had many Wranglers since my 92 below. I put an AEV spacer lift on my new Rubicon and 35 inch Toyo Open Country RT's.

My wife's Sahara had a 2-inch AEV lift, Fuel wheels and my old take off 33 BFG's.

My 92 had a suspension, and body lift with 35-inch tires and was regeared.

I'm new here. Just bought a '19 JLU Rubicon that had 22,000 miles just a 8 days ago. It ran and drives great (once I figured out how to disable Hill assist that had me taking off in first horribly, its a manual)

I've only had 2 cars since 1997, a 1997 Mustang GT and a 2007 Mustang GT. I tend to keep cars for a long time but have had a bunch of motorcycles in that time. I do miss the speed of the Mustang, maybe I'll get another one in a few years.

My dad had a Jeep when I was young, but it was long gone before I was old enough to drive it. My friends have had Jeeps over the years and one has a '19 Willys JLU that he has lifted and put 35s on. I've driven his quite a bit before and after the lift.

As far as mine goes, it appears pretty stock except for an aftermarket cheap Amazon front bumper by Hooke Road. It looks ok and I'll probably keep it for a little while as there are other upgrades I have in mind first. It will be my daily driver when I'm not on my Harley, which is usually 40 degrees and up when it isn't going to rain and I don't need to haul anything. Also, who ever had it before me, decided to rattle can the under side black and got some over spray on my the grill which irritates me. I'll have to see if I can get that to buff out or come off.

I originally was going to buy either a brand new Wrangler or a Bronco (Ford has served me well pretty much all my life) Just was probably going to wait till spring. However I kind of saw the '19 available and while at first I didn't have an opnion of manual or auto, the idea of the manual kind of won me over. My 07 Mustang was an auto but my '97 (and the cars I had before it) were manuals. Anyway it was low enough miles that it enticed me into going used and saving some $$$.

Gonna want to pick up a Versa Haul bike hauler so I can haul my CRF450RL around, though it is street legal. They both need a bath though.

I would like to find a front skid plate that works with this Hooke Road bumper. They make them for the bumper like this that fits the JKs but I can't be sure if it will fit the JL, though the bumper looks the same for both models.
