[4 Door Havoc]

What's up! I've been driving my new Rubi for two weeks now. Still under 350 miles on it. Thought I should show up and say hi. I only have one pic so far since it's been sucktastic cold for weeks. More to come though.

Hello everyone, I'm the happy owner of a new 2018 Ocean Blue Rubicon. This is my 3rd wrangler, 1st being a JK Unlimited Sport, the 2nd a JK Unlimited Moab Edition. I am loving all the updates the JL has over the JK. Safe travels to all!

Come on over to tropical Nebraska. 25° below this morning, and that's not wind chill.

Brand new, 1st time jeep owner. Just bought a new '18 JL Sport S 2dr and I have no idea where to get started.
Want to do 18" x 10" wheels with some 35" mud tires, but do I need to change suspension? Do I need or want a lift? How much of one? Is this the first thing I should do? This is not my daily commuter, but a vehicle for some weekend fun, so point me in the right direction.

Probably need new gears

Nice! Like the color!

Thanks for the offer, but I'll freeze over here.

Hello. Potential (wife wants one bad, so its gonna happen) buyer from Wisconsin. Looking at Sahara Unlimited because we dont have any hardcore off roading in WI. But plan on dirt and logging roads here, and trips to the Rockies, Alaska and Canada. So would like some creature comforts on the road trips.
I look forward to researching, buying, and installing mods. Bumpers, winch, wheels and tires, and whatever other good mods there are for these.
We are brand new to Jeeps. I drove my FIL 2 door JK in the mountains last fall, and was blown away how easily it tackled the terrain. I was with a UTV and a ATV in 1.5 ft of snow and they just couldnt make it without me breaking trail.

Anyway, this looks like its the most used forum for JL's so I joined.

Picked this guy up on 2/23/2019 and loving everything about it! 6 speed manual trans, 8.4 inch display, Cold Weather Group and many more! My last Wrangler was a 2004 Blue 2 Door TJ, it was time for an upgrade! Already spending lots of money on awesome upgrades! Glad to be part of the JL club!!

 

[Kevin’s Rubi]

Howdy y’all, Kevin from Houston Texas. Bought my third Jeep as a retirement present to myself. Started with a CJ then went to the family trucksters for twenty or so years before coming home to a JK. Now I’m in the JL and love it. I do miss my CJ (and my hair) though.

Okay, that's the first I've heard of that. Why? Have others done this?

Big tires, big wheels on a Sport may bog it down. If on a Rubicon it may not be as bad because it comes with 4.10 gears.

[GALLERY=][/GALLERY]I'm new here, but not to Jeeps. I'm LOVING my new Sahara! Having fun here too. Glad to be aboard.

Hello I’m a new member from Pensacola, FL researching buying a JLU. I’ve owned a two Jeeps before as well as Land Rovers and Monteros. I’m looking for a daily driver slash capable trail rig.

New member here from Christiansburg, Va getting ready to trade my JKUR for a JLUR. Doing a lot of research using the forums right now. Lots of great info here. Thanks for having me.

New guy here, from Teays Valley, WV. I had a 2011 JKU that I traded in on a 4runner TRDP, and I am now back in a Wrangler. I ended up consolidating things and traded in a 2016 mustang GT as well as the T4R. I am loving this rig so far. I am especially impressed with the 2.0 driving the wheels.
I spend a lot of time off-road so I always need a vehicle with those inherent abilities. I am a mining engineer, as well as a drone pilot, so I end up in some wild places. I ended up getting it for $51,000 OTD, less the value that I had over what I owed on the trade vehicles. -Retail was $53,810.

Anyway, this is what I have.
