Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

[D-Rex]

I am so happy I found this site. My family and I have driven Jeep SUVs for many years. I added it up and my Wrangler makes 6 Jeeps we have owned:

1990 Cherokee
1995 Grand Cherokee Laredo
2000 Grand Cherokee Laredo
2014 Jeep Cherokee Latitude
2017 Grand Cherokee Limited
2018 Wrangler JLU Sport S

I picked up my Firecracker Red 4-door JLU Sport S last Friday. I had to leave town on Sunday for work so I didn't get much windshield time. So, whats a person to do when they are sitting in a hotel room 1000 miles away from their new Wrangler, but start buying upgrades.

Fuel Assault 17x9 wheels and Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires
N-Fab Nerf Step bars
JTopsUSA black mesh top
Racor Lift Rack
Topsy Bracket

All goodies that I found crawling this site when I should have been attending a conference!

A new front bumper will be coming once there are more LED fog lights available and tubular doors most likely as well.

Thanks to all who have posted their info, the sponsors and the folks that run this site!

Hello all, I'm John in WI. We are a family of 5 that wanted a convertible, so I've ordered a 2018 JLU in Punk'n this week. We all liked the look of the Rubicon, and my 11 YO son loves all things vehicle as well as camping, so we will probably do some really lightweight off-road stuff too. Right now I'm just reading everything I can and learning about the vehicle. I also connected with a local Jeep club and got some sage advice: "Prepare to say goodbye to all your money!" LOL!

Hello! I just joined after following along for a couple months. Currently planning to order a 2019 JLUR hopefully when the order banks open.

I currently have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2005 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (LJ).

Recently bought our JLU Sahara as my wife’s dd. We had a ‘98 TJ. Glad I found the place.

Eric from the coal region in PA, dropping in to say hey. I have a 2018 JLU. Just put a 4” Skyjacker lift with nitro shocks on her. Also Rockstar wheels and a set of 35” tires. My next but is going to be nerf bars.

Hello, second Jeep owned and love this one. Bought it for the wife but now I'm thinking I will have to buy me a Yellow 2019 Rubicon! Wife doesn't want to share it! Thank you to the guys on the forum that helped pick out the wheels & tires and Nerfs!

Hi there fellow jeeples! My name is Chris, from Ontario Canada. Lets see, an old ex gf had a 2006 Tj! At first it was like yah its ok! Even being topless. What got me was doorless. So you got it, i wanted a jeep. So with the new model (JK) about too come out. I ordered a 2 door Jk in febuary 2007. Took delivery in June 2007. And it was my start too a new hobby, new adventures.
In 2015 i was dating a new girl, we got a 2015 rubicon 2 door for her, she taught me too drive stick. We broke up and the jeep was sold.
Still enjoying my 2007 2 door rubicon. Now in 2018, my fiance car broke down so we ended up leasing a 2018 2 door willys in billet silver.
So now with my 2007 on its last legs, its time too trade her in.
So just before the banks closed in july. I placed my order for a 2 door rubicon in oceon blue. A few weeks later i changed my colour too mojitio and gor changed from the black and silver lip rims too the standard rims.
So with all the talk about no more mojitio i wasn't sure if i was gonna get it or what. Finally just got told my jeep should be shipped on monday, and its in mojitio. So i was happy when i left.
But will miss my JK!

Hey gang,

Another SOCal noob here...been lurking for a month or so and decided to join the community. I see lots of good peeps and good info.

Long time FJ40 owner, but sold it a few years back. Going to order a '19 Sahara or Rubi when the order books open in a few weeks. In the meantime, I have my Harley to keep me going.

Looking forward to learning and contributing, along with a discussion here and there.

David Checking in from LI, NY. Just got my first Wrangler 2 days ago. Learning as much as I can from the forum. So much information!

Hello,
Rob here from the DFW area. Just picked up a new JLUR a few days ago. Very impressed so far. Not new to Jeep. The last Jeep I owned was an 06 TJ Rubicon. Wish I still had it but night and day difference with all the new electronic gizmos.

 

[danelizer]

Hey! Dane from Northwest Florida. This is my second Jeep. The first was a 1979 CJ 5 I bought brand new and roamed all over New Mexico. Absolutely loved it. Traded it off for a truck because I needed one. After all these years gone by, I no longer needed a truck, so a Wrangler found me. Brings back a lot of good 4 wheeling memories with friends and family. I’m home again.

Hi all! My good old '99 TJ bit the dust recently - a sad day. But I'm happy to have a new JL! Still getting used to all the fancy features (and cussing that ESS ), but I love it already. If it lasts as long and is as trusty as my dearly departed TJ I'll be a happy camper.

Hello everyone. We just bought a 2018 JLU Sahara on Saturday for my wife. She's had two Jeeps in the past. Hoping to learn some tips and tricks as the Jeep thing is new to me.
