Howdy from downstate Illinois! Lot of sharp Jeeps on here. I am new to the Jeep scene myself. For the past several years I’ve been into motorcycles, but when my kid was born in 2023, the Harley started collecting dust. I always said I would never be one of those Harley guys who got rid of their bike for a Jeep, but lately with the awful drivers and liking being a dad and all…. That and living down the road from a Jeep dealer kind of gets in your head after a while lol. The bike is still in the garage, but I added a 2025 Willy’s to the family last weekend. I wasn’t sure about the color at first, but it grows on you. Kind of like moss. Or swamp water….

Wes here. New to the group. I have the 2018 Wrangler that I call the Wildeep with over 108000 miles now. She is my 2nd one. Only problems were a coolant leak that I chased for a few months. Finally changed all the upper hoses and that stopped the leak. The other issue is the rear differential bearings went out 2 time after 50,000 miles. As long as I can fix her I will keep her.

Hailing from Central Florida, new to this forum, but not Jeeps. Previously owned/built a '94 YJ as a fun project. Now own an '18 JLU Sport S w/the 2.0L engine in Mojito!.

I am driving her daily, so mods/upgrades will be judicious and lean towards road v. trail (for now).

Looking forward to learning about this newer platform (JL) and getting dirty!

Hello!

I'm new here, new to Jeeps, and mostly mechanically illiterate. I really shouldn't even be here being such a noob but alas...
...say hello to Bam!

This is supposed to be the vehicle I either give to one of my kids or drive until I'm too frail to compress the brake pedal and go death wobblin violently into the night - so I'm probably going to be coming back often for as much help as possible and hopefully this'll be a long and fun journey that'll teach me everything I need to know.

Intentions:
Daily Driver
Conquering Baby Trails/Camping
Occasional Dune/Snow Crawling
SHTF Mobile/Not being eaten by bears
Maybe Clubs/Jeep Meets (Great Lakes Area)
