This is my first post. I have made a few comments. We, the wife and I, have been lurking for months. We got our first Jeep on March 29, 2019. It’s a Granite Crystal JLUSS, with tech pak, limited slip, slush mats, 2.0/auto, and Freedom Top. Love the drive train I can’t believe we waited so long to get a Wrangler. Won’t be buying anything else. Eyeing the diesel, for later...

Hello all. New member here. My wife and I have had a few others Jeeps in the past. Just picked up a new 2019 JLUSS Granite Crystal Metallic, tech package, 3.6 auto. Looking forward to making it our own.

I'm Chad from Moab, UT - just picked up a Wrangler Sport 4-door in silver. Coming off of a Jeep Renegade Deserthawk. Working at Barlow Adventures renting Rubicons to the masses!

Hey everyone, picked up a 2019 JLUR last Friday. Loving it and happy to be here. 2nd Jeep ever, first was an early 2dr JK Sahara bought on 2007 and sold a few years later. Wanted another ever since.

Hi all- Jack in VA. I found out my wife is pregnant after my retirement from the Marines. Because she makes more than I do/did, I will be the stay at home parent. My current DD is a Ram 3500 dually, so we decided I needed a more "practical" vehicle to be a full-time dad. Not being the mini-van type, I have convinced my wife that a Wrangler would be a good option (at least compared to the dually) Her only requirements- hard top and heated seats.

We found a silver 2018 JLU Sport with all of the features I required, and none of "absolutely nots." Tech, towing, cold weather (remote start!) were requirements, and avoiding the 8.4 Uconnect system was an absolute. I've got it in my dually and SERIOUSLY dislike it, primarily the nav and the auto dimming mirror. We are working on the immediate minor mods, and how we want to scale up as we work our way through the maze of parenthood. It is the first Jeep for either of us, although I have been lusting after one for years.

Howdy, new to the JL forum. This is my third Wrangler, first two didn't have windows, electric windows, power steering, air-conditioning, XM radio, V-6, power, cruise control, u-connect, easy lower top or easy remove windows. Oh and back up camera, trailering package and silver colored exhaust can (probably first thing I change).

But I love it anyway. Look forward to the knowledge of the forum.

Don

Looks like a winner to me!

Congrats to both baby and Jeep!

Hello, just joining this forum after being in the JK group for many years. My 2011 Detonator Yellow JKU Sahara is anxiously awaiting the arrival of 2019 Sting-Ray JLU Rubicon. 2011 was my first Jeep and I smile every day I get in her. I know the new ride will bring me equal joy. Have been lurking around the forum and reading a lot of good info about the JL's. Glad to be hear and look forward to connecting with others.

Hello,

Long time admirer of Jeep Wranglers - finally was able to lease a 2018 JL Sahara in Mojito Green (4cylTurbo)! Coming from a Lexus RC350 fsport been a big adjustment. But "I GET IT NOW" about owning and driving a jeep!

 

[MFLowrance]

Hello,
First
Time Jeep owner here. Meet “Gunner”, my new - used 2018 JLU. Already put a 2” Spacer lift with new wheels and tires. Come from a family of Jeep owners. I finally took the plunge, traded in my Civic Si and am now questioning why I didn’t do it sooner!
Looking forward to being part of the Jeeping community!

Don’t know how long I’ll have to wait, but I think I’m pretty set on swapping the letters of my LJ Rubi into a JL Rubi. In the mean time, I’ll be lurking around here getting ideas.

What's up everyone. I'm Chris I leased the 2018 JL sport this past Novemeber. First time jeep owner and loving it so far. Wanted to start modding immediately but due to a serious back injury at work which later caused my termination from my company I havent really had the funds to do anything until I'm back on my feet. As a first time owner im looking for simple and affordable mods I can do now. Also was wondering what size rims and tires would be good for the jeep. Probably not doing a lift. Any and all help would be great. Excited to be part of what I hear to be a great community

Hi Everyone!! Im a new member from Vancouver, Canada. Love my sting grey JLUR!! Cant wait to learn a ton of info from this site!!

Question - I cant seem to log on to the JL App. It states i do not have an account. Do i need permission from one of the mods first before i can access it?

 

[Andrew2311]

Hello everyone, I love the information, and the sense of humor found on this site!!!
