I’d like to see the google analytics numbers on how many first time posters in this thread head directly to Kelly Blue Book for a trade in quote.

When are we no longer considered new members and are expected to have thick skin, ask intelligent questions, and use the search function? Asking for a friend...

I look at it this way, once that a member sign's in and introduces him/herself, then becomes comfortable with the foremast of the Forum! But I don't know of any rule that says that is the case. So that is just my opinion:)..

Hi, I am Grateful Dave. I live in North Alabama. My wife is the original owner of our 1998 Wrangler TJ Sport she bought off the lot Memorial Day weekend 1998. The specs are automatic, hardtop, OME 2" lift, pure orange tow hooks front/rear, tow package, Dana 44 rear, Dana 30 front, Safari top, half doors, cylinder 5 is misfiring, & aftermarket radio that is dying. Have a console sub to add when upgrading stereo to one that will work with my phone all the time. After getting married in 2018, I was scheduled to deploy later that year. So, we decided to get a Wrangler JLU Sahara Memorial Day weekend 2018 off the lot. So, that is what we did. The Sahara is identical to the 1998 specs except for color, doors, tire size, wood grain body armor, and Safari top. Oh, and the radio works in the Sahara. lol

I daily drive both Wranglers.

That is actual woodgrain panels? Not just a wrap. It looks real in the photo. As a child of the 60's and 70's it looks great...

2021 Wrangler Rubicon 2 door
Hello, I'm Josh! From Mid-Michigan area. Never owned a Jeep before.. I bought a used 21 Rubicon 2 door 5 speed back in March. Pretty much, exactly what I wanted in a Jeep. (minus a hard top) Drove it 5 days and had to take it to the dealer for massive oil leak and engine noise. They've had it since March 24th, and it is currently June 30th, with no sign of getting it back anytime soon.

Anyway, I hope everyone is having an awesome day! I look forward to digging through the forums and posting some.

Congrats on owning a Wrangler :) Nice looking Ride:clap:
As for your Dealer, I suggest that you ask them what they found wrong with it and for a completion date! There is no excuse for them having it that long. I hope that they are giving you a loaner vehicle!

Hello everyone! Introducing my new Jeep. Her name is Pale Moonlight, inspired by the name of a song by my favorite band Dayseeker. I'm from AZ and flew to OK to pick her up with only 10k miles on it! Stopped at Huckleberry in MERUS Park in TX on the way home!

New Jeep owner from Ohio / NC. Deposit down on a '25 Sahara and scheduled to pick-up next week. Looking forward to it - this is my first jeep! Trading in my ultra reliable Honda Ridgeline - after spending the last month at the beach, I've decided now is the time to give a Wrangler a try!
