Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

[Old Dogger]

Just bought a 2019 Unlimited Rubicon (32K odo) with a few mods so I'm new to this forum. I'll be selling my lifted 1995 GC Limited with 117K on odometer. This will be just used for recreation so hopefully I'll have it for a while and keep it running in top condition.

Welcome to the Forum, from Cave Creek AZ.!
Congrats on your new to you Wrangler.

Just joined the forum, bought my wife a 2022 JL Rubicon Diesel this past weekend, before that I lurked a bit. Not new to jeeps or diesels. My last jeep was a rusted out old 79 cj5 that I couldn't kill. And I've been in the diesel world for a long time with memberships to Turbo Diesel Register, long build treads on Competition Diesel for my mud race truck, and I'm very active on GarageJournal documenting projects and other shenanigans here on the farm.

Diesel wise, we have a 1999 Dodge 2500 cummins 4x4 quad cab with 300k miles, 2004 Dodge 3500 cummins 2wd crew cab with 400k miles, 2007 Dodge 3500 cummins 4x4 with 268k, 1962 GMC D860 Dump truck with a 671 Detroit and my race truck which is based on a 96 Dodge 2500 frame shortened 3' with a 1946 power wagon cab and I've built carbon fiber parts for the grill, fenders, bedsides and a custom stretched hood when I set the engine and cab back 18". Also have a 37' Newmar Diesel pusher with a Cummins, several diesel pieces of equipment on the farm and my 18 Harley Ultra Limited.

For work, I'm a Data Architect and been hacking code for 30+ years now. I also weld, paint, build all kinds of stuff for the farm or other things and wrench on all our stuff. We raise Scottish Highland cattle as well as a Honey Bee wrangler and large fruit orchard.

I've done all kinds of backwood off roading most of my life with various vehicles including jeeps, my old 72 chevy blazer, etc..

Here I am a little late saying hello. My Granite Crystal metallic Sport S I bought in August of last year. It's got the 3.6 with 8 speed auto, heated seats and steering wheel plus the optional Alpine stereo. My only goal and I am pretty good with how it sits now was to a little lift and bigger tires, I did that with a full set of Rubicon rims I bought from a friend, brand new no less, and found a take off set of Rubi shocks and springs. Oh yeah my buddy threw in the side rails off his rig for free. So far have no real interest in doing anything more than just drive it top down in the spring and I think the only trail it's going to do is that one in Kentucky.

Hi all!

I'm Yan from the North West part of Quebec state in Canada.

First time owner of a Jeep Wrangler. Ordered it November 2024 received January 2025.
I went with a 2025 Willys, 2 doors manual transmission, color '41.

Already ordered and installed mod parts; 52in Light bar, 2 pods, rain/wind deflector, entertainment screen protector, Azuro parts, seat cover, lockable hood latches, and other small thing.

I was missing driving manual, all my past cars were manual except one. Sadly my joy was court circuit rapidly at around 488km.

I'll post about it in the right section of the forum. Hint: Service Transmission :|

Here's a picture of my Willys, A.K.A.: Bruce lol nah just kidding.

Video in french:

Have a good one, cheers.
