Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

[BigKahuna]

First jeep owner here, Greenville SC. Growing family means I had to get rid of my Challenger Hellcat last week. Figured if I had to get a "family car" I would go all out and get the best. So picked up a lightly used 19 Rubicon in pun'kn Orange. Looking forward to learning all about the 4x4 lifestyle. Already planning on new wheels and 35 tires. And looking for my first easy trail to break myself in!

Hello all! I'm new to the site but my wife and I purchased our Wrangler JLU back in March 2019; we have been having a blast with it, and this site has been a wealth of knowledge! Thank you to all who contribute. I included a couple pictures to share as well!

Hello all!! I’m new to being a Jeep owner. I ordered a Sahara JLU in July. I’m still waiting for it to be built and it’s driving me crazy! I can’t wait to get it!! I look forward to being a member.

Welcome Fancy! I can relate to the waiting game. I ordered my JLUR May 25th and just received it yesterday, almost 12 weeks delivery. Had the the dealer roll it off the truck and straight into the service department for 2” lift upgrade. What’s another week of waiting at this point, right? Hang in there, it will definitely be worth the wait.

I've always loved the Wranglers with it's combination of convertible and amazing off-road capabilities. I've finally joined the club with a 2018 Wrangler Unlimited Sahara in Mojito green. Started with the hardtop since it's a must have in the cold Iowa winters. Hopefully I can afford to pick up a soft top in the spring. Then we'll see what additional mods come over time

Just ordered my 5th jeep. J10, Cherokee, Comanche, JKUR and now a JLUR. Can’t wait to empty my wallet all over again!

Checking in from Utah. This forum seems very active and has great info on it. New member here but not new to the Jeep world. Got rid of the JK and went with a JLU Sport. Let the build begin!

Oh my!! That’s quite a wait for your Jeep!! I’m starting to think it’s going to take that long for mine. I would have done the same thing with the lift!! Get it done ASAP!!

Doin It! BTW, you can chat with customer service at mopar.com and they can give you the status on your build, however getting a delivery date was not possible due to logistic reasons.

Hello everyone, my name is Allen. Long time jeeper, started lurking here for the last couple of weeks. First car and Jeep was my beloved and still missed 96 XJ. She was fully armored, lifted 5" on 33's, trimmed fenders, etc etc. My buddy in college who had a YJ and then a TJ got me into Jeeps and even taught me how to drive stick in them. Sadly he passed couple years after college and his mom spread his ashes at a Jeep Jamboree in Texas where they lived. Fast forward few years later, I now work at a Jeep dealership here in NJ and was lucky enough to get in my current ride, the 2016 Grand Cherokee 75th Anniversary Edition. Although I love this thing due to its ridiculous comfort, My lease is ending in November. I recently got rear ended and while my Jeep is in the shop, I got a JLU Sahara as a rental. It's not as comfortable as my GC but it's HELLA more comfortable than the TJ's and YJ's I was used to lol. 2 days in that rental and the old wheelin bug bit me. So I am glad to say that I am ordering a Sting Gray Unlimited Rubicon come November when my lease is up. All the old wrenching, and wheelin reflexes reactivated like as if I never stopped. My build plans is just about done and I am doing a whole different approach than what I did to my XJ. The new Rubi will be built with plans of a lot more overlanding and a little less rock crawlin as I am holding on to this one for a while. But who knows, might end up with a whole different build altogether lol. But this place seems like a great place and all of your rigs are incredibly inspiring. CANNOT wait to join all of you and the JL community. I will start a build thread as soon as I bring home my JL. For now here are my past and current babies. Rosemary the Perrywinkle People Eater(XJ) & Lucille the Albino Rhino (WK2)

Good morning everyone. Just bought a 2018 JLU Rubicon a couple days ago and I’m looking forward to getting the mods started. EVO Enforcer 2.5 Stage 4 plus with Fox 2.0 shocks are on the way. 37 x 12.5/17 Cooper STT Pros and KMC 140 wheels are sitting waiting at the shop. I had a 2012 JKU previously and I missed the Jeep life. I look forward to getting to know you guys. Here’s my rig in all her stock glory for now. Next week the mods start!

Finally got MyBadA$$Rubi! Cheers to all and let the build begin!

Josh here from Ohio. New to the forum. Picked up a “left over” 2018 JLU rubicon a couple of months ago. Before that I had a ‘99 xj with a 4.5” lift. I also still have my 2012 Ram Power Wagon. Love both and glad to be here
