Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

[Emmanuelmv]

Hello, I’m Emmanuel, I’m in Southern California and I just ordered a 24’ Rubicon X in Earl Gray. Coming from a 21’ 4Runner Trd-off road. Made the switch due to attending the Jeepers Jamboreee last year with my brother in law. I’m excited to pick it up and begin the modification journey.

I also have this forum to thank for getting my order at 4% under invoice from Tuttle in Orange County, big thanks to Rob.

Hi,
Jamie from Tennessee, thanks for all the input on here. I have saved thousands of dollars on Jeep dealers trying to sell me on things that are not wrong with my Jeep 2018 JL. I still need to check out the Bus Can thingy but made sure to read all the points on what to do to compete that.
Thank goodness for this forum and for all the knowledgeable folks out there helping us newbies, hahah!
God Bless!

Hell From Canada

After 14 years and 230k+ KM JK I upgraded to a 2023 JL Sahara ? Currently doing my homework and filling the gap from early JK to latest JL

Glad to see the jeep internet remain so vibrant

New to forum not new to Jeeps. Drove a CJ5 in the military as a duty Jeep driver in 1983. Bought my first Jeep a 2000 Sahara TJ and then a new 2013 Rubicon JKR. Looking at getting a 2021 or 2022 JLU Rubicon. Thanks for the addition to the forum looking forward to advice and opinions.

 

[El Jeepo]

Been lurking for a while and finally made the plunge a few weeks ago. Already have the fever and the boxes are coming in fast and furious. Small things for now but more to come i am sure. Lots of great ideas and helpful info here so looking forward to exploring some more.

 

[AZJLUR623]

New JL owner with a recent purchase of a 2019 JLUR. Traded a 2018 4runner (which we loved).
Had a 2006 TJ Rubicon which we have regretted selling. I have owned 4 FSJs since the 1970s (1977 J20 PU, 1979 (new) Cherokee, a 1977 & 1964 Wagoneer). I also currently have a 1997 TJ with a 1959 CJ5 tub and hard top on it (registered and titled as a 1959 CJ) - we call it the TJ5.
Also have a couple of "jeep" trailers, a older K38/M100 with combat rims, and a newer M416 in yellow to match the 2019 JL.

Aside from the jeeps, I have a 2018 Power Wagon, a 2008 F350 diesel 4x4, and a 2005 DL-1000 Vstrom (dual purpose /adventure bike) motorcycle. We have a 2022 Grey Wolf toy hauler for camping and hauling the bike and a SxS with Mattracks for snow.
For projects: a 1977 Suburban 4x4 , a 1978 Chevy Crew cab dually 4x4, and a 1986 K30 diesel 4x4.

We used to do Moab with a 1979 K5 454 on 1 tons and a 1987 K5 on 1 tons. My wife mostly sticks with her 18 Camry and the 19 JLUR. We currently mostly do AZ trails, back roads and hunt scouting/camping.

Like the JL forum here, good variety and mostly accurate ;-) Will try and contribute as my JL experience builds. I am 67 and wife and I recently retired, so should have more time to jeep and off-road.

Also what is this rubber duck thing going on........?

G'day

Just wanna say hi Long time lurker and first time poster.

Generally during the wheeling season you'll find me at almost any of the trails up here, Rubicon, Fordyce, Dusy, Slick Rock, Barret, Gold Lake, etc, etc.
I'm always looking for fun people to wheel with and explore.

Sitting in the garage at the moment is a JLUR with:

Artec Truss kit front and rear with C knuckle gussets,
Ball joints,
Reid Knuckles
Revolution rear chromoly axles,
4:88's

This is just the daily / work & event vehicle

Sorry for the long post, I also have a former 4800 race car come trail buggy that is used to do really dumb things in

 

[2019 Jeep RubiU]

Hi,

Brandy here.
I just picked up a new to me 2019 Jeep. I love how it drives compared to the older JKs.

 

[Simplejack]

New guy with a new 2023 High Tide. Over the years came from 18 Raptor 20 Gladiator to 23 Rivian R1T to 23High Tide.

Hi Guys,

John from Pittsburgh. I had a GC years ago but this is my first Wrangler. Spending a lot of time planning any mods, but just added a third vehicle and a 16 year-old driver to the insurance so I'm still hyperventilating from the new insurance bill each month...

Had to get a little Maiden nod in though, but that's it for now. Spending a lot of time going through all the threads here, really fun planning things out.

 

[Covet]

Not brand new here, but JL #4 should be being delivered tonight! Went 18 Sting-Grey JLUR, v6, to 22 Firecracker 392 (blown engine), 2022 White 4xe JLUR, and have this one on the way today. 24 Earl 392. New one first few mods, normal path for me, tint, steps, winch guard, some lights Did enjoy the 4xe is a pretty cool Wrangler set up. Even after a bad relationship with the 8cyl just couldn't get over having one in my life again lol!

Hello fellow Jeepsters!

 

[dflohr]

After many years of wanting a Wrangler, I finally bought one. (Quite unexpected following my 2007 Boxster being totalled while in the hands of a tire shop replacing a tire pressure sensor but that’s another story).

After 3 weeks of searching on-line at over 200 Wranglers, I found and bought a 2-door 2022 Sport S. It was put into service July 2022 so 2 years of warranty remain. 13K miles, no accidents and one previous (woman) owner. It was priced way below the original window sticker and what I expected after learning how slow Wranglers depreciate. Before buying, had a mechanic check it out to make sure.

Came from Jeep optioned with almost everything except the towing package.

Granite with the Granite Crystal wheels
Customer Package 22S
Hard top
Leather Seats
Cold Weather Technology, Convenience Safety and Advanced Safety Groups
8.4” Display with Alpine Premium Sound
Satin Black Grill
Black Side Steps and Fuel Filler Door

Plan on adding Bestop Sunrider and their new retractable sunshade. Already got a wireless CarPlay/Android Auto adapter.

Really happy to have finally joined the Wrangler club. Going to have this one for a while.......
