Hello from a new JL and former TJ owner in PA!

Just took delivery of my 2019 JLUR two weeks ago. Had 205k on my TJ but decided it was time for an upgrade! Even got the new one touch top and man does the entire family love the new rig! Appreciate all of the advice and pictures out there, looking forward to seeing and waving to you all on the road and off!

New owner as of Saturday. 2018 Sport S. Traded in my Subaru. After 4 hours of driving back and forth from the dealer (some dummy took the wrong title)...I wished I had bought one 6 years ago instead of the Subaru (which was my second). 17 years driving a Subaru, thought I'd always have one...Got the 4 door manual, soft top. Love it. Ear to ear grin Everytime my cheeks hit the seat. Loving the interior space...

Hi, Noob jeep owner (again). On my third iteration now. Had a 97 TJ, 2016 JK and now a 2019 JL. Glad to be back.

Hi everyone! New to the forum but not new to Jeeps. Had a '99 Cherokee as my first car (I'm 24) and swapped that for my current '03 TJ that I got in 2015. So I've always been in a Jeep and always plan to be! I hope to order a '19 or '20 JLUR in the future. Already have a theme picked out for a Bikini Pearl edition. Can you tell I'm excited? I know more about Jeeps than the last sales guy I talked to. I've been doing my research on what I want, pricing, and what dealers in my region are giving discounts below invoice.

I love the silver Sport S manuals! Enjoy it!

Hello everyone. Bought my first Jeep back in September. As soon as my older son left for college, I was at the dealership the next day trading in the traverse, haha!

I saw this blue and had to have it. So far, I've put a 2.5 lift on, satin grill, side rails, and just some 33s on two weeks ago. Starting to look pretty good. I'm not sure how far I'm going to go with this one, since it was basically a test Jeep for me. I'm still undecided if I'm going to keep in after my term is up, or trade it in for a new one.

Hello all.

New owner here. It feels like it had been a long time coming. I remember 10 years ago I had a deposit down on a JK and was supposed to pick it up the next day. Something felt off about the pricing and I backed out of the deal. I ended up driving a tacoma off the lot out of spite.

A truly absurd number of practical vehicles later, I finally pulled the trigger on a Jeep. I suppose I wanted to get "back to the basics" Goodbye Twin Turbos, 10 speed auto, keyless entry and CarPlay. Hello freedom top, Pentastar and 6 speed stick. It's sort of like a blank canvas, which is nice.

I suppose part of the credit goes to this beauty of a JKR rental I drove in Moab last year.

Seeing as Utah is an 18 hour drive and this being my daily driver, I'm planning on keeping it mild. I don't think I'll be doing fins and things again right away!

Pretty stoked that I've managed to hold off ordering any mods in the past 24 hours. Planning on tints and a hitch receiver for now. We'll see how far down the rabbit hole this will take me!

New member here from GA stopping in to say hello. Excited to be a part of the Jeep family! The 2019 Rubicon is my first Jeep. Learning quite a bit reading around on the forum. So far I’m 2-3 weeks in and I’ve added a Mopar lift kit, 20” machined black motto wheels, predator side steps and some Nitto trail grapplers.
About to upgrade track bars, tie rods and a few other items. Really excited and looking forward to learning and sharing.

New JL Wrangler owner today, on Father's day of all things. Snagged a 2018 sport S with the tech, safety package, upgraded wheels, premium top and anti slip rear. Had to go with the 2.0 turbo after driving that and the v-6 back to back. Got the granite color, will upload a pic later. This is my 4th Wrangler, had a 95, 99 and a 2012.

I don't have a night pick at the moment, but they are really bright. I've tested them out at night, and I can light up an entire football field when all three are on.
