Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

Hey Jeepers! I'm Raihan, from Seattle. I'm a big fan of how unbiased and great this site is. Getting educated on the good, the bad, and the ugly truths, helped me get out there and order my first ever Wrangler. Can't wait to get my hands on my Mojito JLUR...in September. Looking forward to more of your posts, and I hope to contribute myself! Cheers! OIIIIIIIO

Hello All! My name is Matt I'm currently in Abilene TX. I am patiently waiting (trying to at least) for my Ocean blue JLRU to arrive hopefully next week sometime. Haven't had to wait as long as others but it will be here soon enough. This will be my 3rd Wrangler. My first is a 2004 Rubicon 2 dr that I will be keeping once the new one arrives. I had a 2015 unlimited Willys fire cracker red. I have learned a lot from this forum already and hope to help others along the way.

Bryant form Williamsburg, VA. Just ordered my Mojito JLUR last week. It's in D-1 status now. Fingers crossed! Had a 2014 JKUR when we were stationed in San Diego and fell in love with the Jeep life. Great sight from what I have read so far in terms of modifications as they come available and what lessons people are learning to prevent some of us from repeating mistakes. It's amazing how much information is here in such a short period of time!

Just a quick HI to all here and a thanks to all that have posted helpful pictures and postings on what to expect. I am in my 12th week waiting for my new JLUR Punk'n Metallic to arrive at the dealership... I do not even have it in my possession yet and am already shopping and planning all the things to do! Looking forward to sharing experiences soon!

Hey everyone! I've been quietly lurking on here the past couple weeks absorbing all things JL, and decided I should do my intro post and get involved. My name's Ryan and I'm from Oregon, but have been living in Arizona since 2014. I purchased my first (ever) JLUR over Memorial Day weekend and after 2 weeks of ownership can say I am loving the Jeep life. I've already taken it off-roading a couple times and this thing's a beast, can't wait to take it out on more adventures! I look forward to meeting some fellow Jeep owner's and learning more about the JL's. Cheers!

Hey y'all. I'm Chris from SC. Wife and I used to have a '98 Wrangler Sport and are very likely (99.9% sure at this point) going to by buying either a 2018 or 2019 JLUR. I've been lurking on this sight since before the JL's were revealed and decided to join to tap into the wealth of Jeep knowledge here. My first post is asking you to share some of that knowledge so please do if you are so inclined!

Hey everyone! I've posted a couple times on here but haven't taken the time to properly introduce myself. I'm Nick and that handsome GSD is Sarge. We live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This is my first Jeep and I couldn't be more in love (LONG overdue). It's a black on black JLU Sahara that came with cold weather package and unfortunately, just a hardtop. I've been keeping a close eye on the forums for soft top updates and will definitely be purchasing one at some point in the near future. I've started to dip my toe in the customization waters by adding a fuel door cover (didn't come with one), swapping out the antenna, grabbing a Dirty Dog Cargo Cover (Sarge LOVES to go swimming) and adding in new grab handles. I've ordered a JTOPS sun shade that I can't wait to install for those days I take the freedom panels off (and eventually the entire hard top). I think wheels/tires are next on the list!

I'd like to take a moment to thank everyone that contributes here as you've been a wealth of knowledge and helped me out numerous times already. I look forward to being a more active member of the community going forward.

Beautiful GSD, I have 1 too, Love the breed... in addition to having a GSD I as well have a JL, I received it on 5/1/18 ordered 2/19.. I ordered the Punk n metallic, this is my 3rd Jeep and by far my Fav.... Best of luck with your new ride!!

Hi all! We just purchased a 2018 JLU Rubicon for my wife. The last Jeep we owned was 2008 JK Sahara and the improvements are obvious. I drive a 3500 Dually because we tow a boat the JLU wouldn’t handle but the Rubicon is so much more fun to drive!

Only complaint - we couldn’t find the color she liked (Billet Silver) with the cold weather package in inventory so we went without. Seems like dealers would order this on every vehicle here in Northeast PA - especially soft tops!

 

[am1978]

Checking in. No issues, JLU Sahara, picked up on 4/3, 4200 miles, just got the cruise control recall. We’ll get it fixed next week—on vacation now. Used cruise control for a 5.5 hour drive off/on. Wife uses it daily on her 40mi daily commute, each way, no issues. OBX, gonna hot the beach.

New owner here of a 2018 Jeep Rubicon 4 door JL.

 

[46Thirty]

Just picked up a new JL Rubicon after a few years with no Jeep

Had a '08 JKU sport that was totaled

Replaced that with a JKU Rubicon, got the itch to do my own build out and started over with an "11 JKU Sahara

[JlUJOE18]

Hey everyone, my name is Joe my family and I li've in Jacksonville, florida and we are proud owners of our 2018 JLU sport.

We've owned many jeeps over the last 15 years from TJs, XJs, WJs, JKU and now our JLU.

LOVE IT shy of not liking the hard top and missing the soft top(posted a WTT hard top for soft top thread)

Other than that got a few plans for this jeep and enjoy taking it to the beach, trail riding and such when we have the time too.

Would love to meet fellow JL owners in north east and central florida and southern Georgia.
