[Richardrocks]

I’m Richard. I grew up off roading with family around Anza Borrego in a 90s Montero, Trooper, and Explorer. Even bone stock, it was remarkable the places we went! Those are some of the best memories of my life.

So, at 41 I just bought my first Wrangler and am about to take delivery of an F150 Powerboost after years of “responsible” / urban vehicles.

We now live in central Oregon surrounded by NF and BLM land in every direction.

We also work part time, and are looking forward to exploring the backroads of the west.

It’s nice to be part of this community — I’m learning a lot!

Hi! New here. Dont own a Jeep but considering one. I have 2 young boys and I think they would love riding around in one.

Currently have an Explorer we are looking to offload and a Tahoe for long haul trips and my work. I work from home or travel.

Trying to learn more and see what direction I want to go. I had a 2020 F150 Raptor but it didn't really work for family needs and I was tired of hte mass of it. Would like something smaller to go off road and have fun with.

Cheers!

I'm Fred from Central California. I just joined the forums because I have a Rubicon JLU on order (details about me and my new Jeep are here: 2023 Orders - Check in here | Page 917 | Jeep Wrangler Forums (JL / JLU) - Rubicon, Sahara, Sport, 4xe, 392 - JLwranglerforums.com )

I currently drive a 2008 Grand Cherokee, but I have always wanted a Wrangler. My wife now has a good road trip vehicle (Mazda CX-5), so I didn't need to replace the GC in-kind and I could get something that will be more fun.

I'm a civil engineer who is nearing retirement. I will work full-time for the next year or so, then start scaling back my hours. I may fully retire in about three years. This approach will let me shift from daily driver mode to having more time for backroading in the Sierra Nevada. I will never be a hard-core rock crawler, but the new Rubicon will let me get to places that I currently can't get to, or can't get to easily.

Hello everyone.
First time jeep owner. I picked up my 19 2.0 Turbo 4door Wrangler 2 weeks ago. So far loving it. Can’t wait to get It out on the trails or even dirt roads around here in PA and upgrading some stuff. Let the fun begin and the wallet hate me more. Lol
