Hello fromTexas everyone! I’m new to the forum but started with Jeep in 1977 when I bought a used ‘75 CJ5 V8 Levis Edition. Loved it, slow rolled it twice, and drove it until the wheels fell off. Had a 2014 JK 2dr and traded it for a brand new built-4-me 2019 JL 2DR/soft top/manual. Look forward to reading about your experiences with the JL and to get repair and upgrade advice.

Hi All, New member here, joined the forum and placed an order in Nov 20, still waiting for my 21 JLUR to come. I am a first time Jeeper but lifelong admirer!

Congrats to all of the new members/owners. Ride safe and often!

Hey y'all, first time Jeep owner. My wife and I wanted one when we were first married, it took us 15 years to actually buy one. It is a 2021 JLU Sport Soft Top, 6MT, with the tow package and limited spin differential. The Jeep is a total toy for us, not a DD. I'm glad we got the upgraded electrical, because I figure we are going to load it up with "fun stuff". The Jeep had 25mi on the ODO when we test drove it.

Still getting used to the rev-hang and the Auto Stop-Start. When I get to the front gate of our neighborhood and stop, I remember to press the disable on the auto-ss.

Hello everyone. New to the forum, not to the Jeep life. Currently living in Indianapolis.

I just picked up a 2020 JLU Sport 2.0l after the transmission on my 3rd Gen Cummins went. I am anxious to get to work on it. The plan is 34-35 and a 2-2.5 lift with lots of armor for a low cog build/family wheeler. Probably put rubi axles on it at some point.

I currently have a 94 XJ based buggy (going up for sale very soon), 90 fox body vert, and a 2016 Navigator.

Hello from Ohio! I just sold my 2011 JK Rubicon to a family friend on Saturday. Missed the jeep so much I bought a 2018 JLU Sahara that afternoon! Time to start figuring out this new build...

 

[AfroSlice691]

Hello from Friendship Md, new to the forums my wife and I are going on our 4th Jeep hopefully soon. We custom build ordered a 2021 JLUR about a month ago. My wife loves her 2016 JKUR hard rock 6pd manual. The first we owned was a YJ and then a 2008 JKU.
She is looking forward to modifying the 2021 when we get it. Looking forward to gaining more knowledge from all the members.
Drive safe everyone!!!

Just hit one year and 10k miles on my JL Sport! Still pumped to own a Jeep and a huge smile on my face every time I drive it.

Took delivery of my white 2018 JLUR in May 2018, I’ve really enjoyed the vehicle. I’ve only put about 15K miles on it as it’s one of several vehicles we own. I’m now retired so we moved it from the Boston area to our winter home on St. Croix (USVI) last November so it’s now enjoying a tropical lifestyle and gets lots of approving looks. Lots of Jeep’s, of all types on the island so it’s no problem finding someone who can work on it, fortunately it’s been a trouble free experience with the vehicle so far.

Bonjour!

I guess I will be your honorary french speaking bloke from Quebec. How's it going?

I might hit some rough patches here and there with my english but i'll try my best.

So. Living in Eastern Quebec where winters are snow on top of snow with windy...snowing days.

Always wanted a Wrangler, about to get one. Was strongly advised to collect opinions from people who own Wranglers before picking my next ride.

As said in another thread, I am exploring options. Probably a Sport S with about all the options boxes checked. Or a Willys...still with all the options. Oh, and you can bet it's going to be a manual.

Always had hot hatches before my most recent car, which is a 2021 Mazda CX-30. Nice handling, reliable...but God, is it boring. 6 months in and i'm already boring myself to sleep with this car.

So yeah, Wrangler it'll be.

See you on the forum.
Bonne journée.

I think you're making a great choice!!

If you do order a Wrangler, be patient - I've seen Canadian special orders take a very long time (6 months?) - maybe my Canadian friends can help me on this?

I've been warned by my dealer that I could indeed wait for about six months if I want a 6MT hard-top, no matter what trim or option I pick.

America first, I guess. Good news is: i'm not stuck with a vehicle that's falling apart. It's just plain boring to drive.
