Another New Guy here-
Just got a JLU Sahara for the wife today. She drove a WIllys first wit the soft top and it was way too loud. Tried this out and much better.

Checking in from the top of Fitchburg, Mass.

OK- so I get to do this a 2nd time!!! The Jeep from February is my wifes - a 19 Sahara. Last week I picked up this:

a 21 Sahara. Both have the V6.

Just picked her up yesterday and went straight to the tint shop. Had about a 5mo wait but couldn’t be happier absolutely love the HV color

Congrats! Definitely looks like it was worth the wait! Cannot live without tinted windows too haha

Had a JLR Mojito!, but it wouldn’t work with her kids (3), and I made the hard decision and moved on. I had a ‘21 4Runner TRD Pro, but it just wasn’t the same.

Got this last week marked down to $61,000. 2024 Rubicon X.

I like the thought of semi-retirement gift! I'm 66 1/2 and now we have our retirement vehicles. Only problem is I can't retire as now we gotta pay for 'em!!!

I've always liked the Ocean Blue.

Hello! Excited to say after a period of lurking I pulled the trigger on this 2021 Sarge Green JLU this week. I’ve previously owned a ‘92 and ‘04. Beyond excited to be back in a Jeep.

Hello all. Mark, from Lexington, Ohio here. Bought a 2024 Sport S 4dr (6MT and 3.6) in Anvil a few days ago. Has the convenience package with heated seats and all weather mats and such, and a hard top.

I have previously owned an Xterra and several 4Runners, and have been camping, light off roading, and exploring all over the US in them over the past 15 years - to 49 of the 50 states, actually (no Hawaii!). Recently though, I have been craving something a little different, and something with a manual transmission.

I took the first JLU I looked at for a 160 mile test drive over 6 hours, picked up my wife, went home and parked it in the garage, ran it around an off road loop through my woods, pulled the top off, hit the freeway, played with every setting and reprogrammed most of them, and was pleased with it overall. However, there was obvious rodent damage to the underhood areas and the sales guy was pretty shady about how the dealership might stand behind long term issues caused by that, plus the sales manager sent over to try and close the deal was a total asshole, so I walked (Myers Jeep in Bellvue, Ohio). That test drive though gave me the confidence that a lot of the things I had heard about JLs were untrue - I didn't find the ride particularly rough, or find the interior too loud, nor did it wander all over the road; and it definitely made me want a JLU. I began aggressively looking for that same Sport S manual trim, and ended up buying from a different dealer (Ken Ganley in Mentor, Ohio).

If I'm honest - I'm a little apprehensive about the JLU. I mean, I love it, don't get me wrong, but reliability is a sorta concern especially coming from a Toyota where basically all I had to do was add gas. I see my JLU was built on a Friday... hopefully I got a good one!

This will be a daily as well as a trip vehicle. Plans are to do a bunch of research and nerd out on this forum, then probably a few mods similar to what my 4Runners had for the sort of exploring I like to do. I already built a basic platform to level the back for sleeping inside it.. still thinking on a way to stuff the rear footwells to give extra headroom for sleeping when the front seats are moved forward; those rear seat headrests kind of get in the way of just putting a box in the footwell. Ordered a hitch. Ordered the Baxter check valve spin on filter thing to hopefully stave off top end wear. Probably order a small lift or source a take-off Rubicon suspension and 33 ATs, don't want to deal with regearing or excessive wear to front end components or crappy handling, and AT 33s and a 2" lift got me everywhere I ever wanted to go in the 4Runners with minimal hit to MPGs and comfort. Some rain gutter mounts to get my Inno roof rails / Yakima basket / ARB awning setup mounted up for trips. A table on the swing out gate. That's probably about it (ha!).

Other interests include shooting, hiking, ADV motorcycling, photography, and tormenting my wife.

I appreciate being a member of this community and look forward to learning more and interacting with others!

This little guy landed on my gear shifter while I was tinkering in the driveway, kind of a cool intro to the open top Jeep experience:

And here's my Xterra and 4Rs over the past few years, I kept the images small since this is a Jeep forum LOL:

Hello everyone,

A car enthusiast of all kinds, I've just acquired a 2019 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited JL.

Hello from Colorado Springs!

 

[Gypsyking]

Greetings everyone!

First-time Jeep owner from Calgary, AB, Canada.

I learned to drive on my father's vintage CJ3-B, so an emotional connection with the brand finally caused me to pull the trigger.

The Jeep (3.6ltr V6/Automatic) is one week old and has already clocked 450 miles.

I'm getting about 18.3MPG in the city with air conditioning on all the time which is quite a surprise as I was expecting a lower fuel economy number.

I am glad to be part of the community and plan to take the Jeep on my camping trip to Jasper in September.

And....I'm back!!!!! New to this forum, but spent lots of time on JK forums, same handle though.

Here's the JLU.
