Guess I should’ve posted here. But I picked up my 21 JLUR last Saturday. It’s a 2.0t with about 51k miles. Never offroaded and looks to have been maintained very well, aside from some low coolant issues that I’ve seemed to fix. At any rate I already have a mishimoto coolant tank and Baja heater hose fitting on the way to try and eliminate as many cooling issues as possible long term

Came from an 06 TJ Sport with a front Aussie locker that I sold about 12 years ago. Very glad to be back, quirks and all!

Nice Jeeps! I miss my TJs.

Nice Jeeps! I miss my TJs.

Thank you! It was a solid Jeep. Only issues I had were a seized caliper and had to replace the OPDA (which sucked) and I hated the 42RLE. Other than that it ate every bit of abuse I threw at it. Hoping this JL Rubi is just as solid overall.

Doing the new person post!! First Wrangler our family has ever had. We've had Compass's, Patriots, multiple Grand Cherokees but the wife really wanted a Wrangler. picked up a 23 Freedom Edition. So far its been outstanding, came with a hardtop and just bought a like new soft top from a friend for 300 bucks, so nice little score there!!

Last August I ordered a 2025 Wrangler Unlimited Sport, color 41, black hard top, V6 manual with floor mats and a roof rack. Instead of a build date I got an apology from the dealer that the factory stopped accepting orders for 2025 model year.

Today I tried again and ordered a 2026 jeep with the same specs except for the roof rack that wasn’t offered this year. It was a lot pricier and they offered me less for my trade.

I‘m excited. I am a 74 year old retired automotive engineer and this is my first mopar product. I’ve run out of mods to do on my 2020 Mustang GT and I sold all 3 of my motorcycles. I need to find something new to wrench on. Look for me in the DIY forums. I live in WNY and my name is Gordie.

A retired Automotive Engineer wrenching on a Wrangler. Oh boy are you going to be confused.

Oh and welcome! Don't forget to pick up your tinfoil hat and sandy vag cream at the front desk.

Hello everyone. I hope this is the right way to do this. New owner of a StingGrey 2020 Sahara 4 door. It's a 3.6L Etorque with 44K miles. I have a '99 4 cyl TJ that I have done some work to, but this is a whole new ball game. I hope the Etorque system will be reliable. It's a nice Jeep from what I can see and from the way it drives (no off roading yet). According to the Carfax, the intake manifold gaskets have been replaced, and I'm guessing that means the oil cooler has been replaced too (?).. I've read quite a few threads and I see there is a lot of useful knowledge here.

Hello there, I'm Tom from LI New York. I just brought home a 2026 Willys. Haven't had a Jeep in a while but I have had 2 CJ7s and a TJ. Compared to them this JL is amazing.
