Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

[JohnAinVA]

N00b here. New to Jeeps and new to this forum. I live in the Verde Valley, about 15 miles from Sedona AZ.
Had a 2019 Taco lifted it, threw some other stuff on it. There were some places and things I just couldn’t do.
Bought a 2021 Wrangler a couple days ago, 2.0 turbo. It’s quite capable and we had a pretty good time in it. It’s maiden voyage was to Broken Arrow in Sedona.

Great pictures!

I was all set to buy a new JLUR with a 6–speed, but when I went in Saturday to deal, I got the news that there was a stop sale on 6-speeds. Ended up picking up this ‘20 Punk’n JLU Willys (JLUW?) with only 4K miles on it. It’s a 2.0 8-speed. I don’t think my wife is going to let me use it much, so I really need to get my CJ back in commission?. I’ve never had a 4-door before or an automatic. I do see why they sell so many of these though. It has a ton of utility without sacrificing much in the way of capability. I’m going to throw on an engine/trans skid and then start hitting the easy to moderate trails until I get a feel for what it can do.

Thanks! It’s a 2020. They discontinued Punk’n Metallic for ‘21 but my wife really wanted it. So as soon as I found out manuals were on hold, I just decided to look for an auto Punk’n so the wife could drive it too. Got lucky and found a ‘20 with only 4K miles about an hour away. I basically went straight up and got it. I wouldn’t know it wasn’t brand new. Very pleased with it.

Hello, my first post here.

Bought a Jeep YJ when new and absolutely loved owning it for about four years.

Thinking of ordering a new JL 2-Door Sport S. Looking forward to talking and learning more about Jeep.

I’ve always loved YJs. Good luck looking for your new ride! I’m new here myself, but seems like a really friendly and knowledgeable place.

Greetings and a Wave to you all.

Michael here. I just purchased a 2021 Snazzberry JL (what's the rest of the designation on a 4 door Wrangler) and picked it up on 2/5/21.

I am a total Jeep noob so I'll be asking a LOT of questions but first I will try to read as much as I can to answer some on my own.

Hey all, Just bought my first JLU EcoDiesel last September. Always wanted a jeep wrangler and now I got one!!! I've been checking this forum now since I purchased the jeep trying to educate myself on the new toy. Thanks for all the info!!!

Hi, I picked this '21 Sport S up Saturday. I was initially looking to go used, but I saw this Black and Tan combination on the lot and found out it really wasn't that much more expensive than what I was looking at used. I last had Jeeps over 20 years ago('94 Sahara & '98 Sahara). I am very happy with my JL so far. I intend to do some mods, but this will be my DD with maybe some light offroading thrown in. I have the 2.0 L Turbo and Automatic Transmission.

Love the tan top on black. Looks fantastic!

Black and tan? You have to at least be considering Guinness for the name.

Something along those lines crossed my mind. I do love that beer.

Hello everyone I just joined here and I also just bought my first ever Jeep. This one is a 2021 Jeep JLU Sport Altitude and I added a 2" lift, 35 inch Toyo tires with 18x9 Fuel wheels, and Westin step/rock rail. I was able to customize it this way through the dealer which made it very easy for me. I'm very happy with the way it came out, but of course I'll be changing more things on it little by little. I can see that aftermarket parts are not cheap, which is not a bad thing, but there's so many options out there to choose from. Well anyways I'm happy I came across this forum and I can see there's a lot of knowledgeable people on here that can help me out if I have a question or ten.

Welcome from your norther neighbor!

Did you pick it up from Earnhardt’s?

I did not, I got it from Courtesy Jeep Superstition Springs in Mesa.
