Hi Everyone. I live south of Charlotte. Ordered a loaded 2020 JLU Sting Gray Rubicon earlier this month and the waiting begins...

This is my first Jeep and was heavily swayed by my fiancee as this is her dream vehicle.

Already purchased multiple mods:
- Hotheads head liner
- Lange original coyote mirrors
- Rugged ridge entry guards
- Rugged ridge cargo floor liner
- Mopar all-weather floor mats
- Smittybuilt side armor steps
- 13" stubby antenna
- Enough Kilmat to cover the entire interior floor and doors

Three for Holly Springs! What are the chances we'll bump into each other at some point?
I really like those wheels. What are they?

Nice Rubi! A few questions for you. Where did you purchase? Did you trade the other JL? Were you able to take advantage of the Jeep special financing?

National Forests in North Carolina temporarily shuts down OHV trail systems

Asheville, NC
, March 26, 2020 - The National Forests in North Carolina Off-Highway Vehicle (OHV) trail systems will be temporarily shut down until May 15, at which time the situation will be reevaluated. This applies to the following OHV areas:

  • Croatan National Forest - Black Swamp OHV Area
  • Uwharrie National Forest - Badin Lake OHV Area
  • Pisgah National Forest - Brown Mountain OHV Area
  • Nantahala National Forest - Wayehutta OHV Area
These actions are consistent with federal and state health and safety direction to help reduce the impact on emergency responders and limit the spread of COVID-19. Use of the OHV trails strains emergency resources, especially search and rescue crews, at a time when the resources are already limited within the local communities.

As we work through an unpredictable and rapidly changing situation, health and safety is our number one priority. We are committed to continuing to support our communities and fulfill our mission as we all work together to minimize the impacts and spread of COVID-19.

For an updated list of forest closures please visit our Alerts and Notices website at https://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/nfsnc/news-events/?cid=FSEPRD715959.
I know Uwharrie has jeep trails. What about the other OHV trails at NC parks?

2020 JLU Rubicon Recon
I am in Harrisburg just outside of Charlotte. Bought a new 2020 JLU Rubicon Recon a few wks ago. Coming from a pretty heavily built JKU this Jeep drives like a dream, and the gas mileage is awesome.

Don't plan to do too much to it this time as I don't off-road as much as I used to. So far I have done:
- Longer Mopar lower control arms
- Steer Smarts Track Bar
- Steer Smarts Track Bar Brace
- Rancho front diff skid plate
- Winch install
- 67 Design phone mount (ran usb wire behind dash)
- Spiderweb shade (I have the sky one touch system)

Will be doing engine skid plate at some point once I chose the route I want to go. Will keep the other stock skid plates for now.

Thanks,

Ken~

Is the 67 Design phone mount worth it?

2020 JLU Rubicon Recon
I feel like the phone mount is worth it. It's rock solid and very easy to use. I keep my phone plugged in for Android Auto, and it sits just above my radio. I took some of the dash apart and ran the usb wire up behind the hvac/radio area and drilled a small whole on top of dash under the mat. I do not like having cables dangling all over the place.

I went up to Blue ridge right after I bought the Jeep to get out and have a picnic to enjoy the fresh air. Only parts of it were open at that time.

Love it so far. I don't have to store a top depending on the season. This is our 5th Jeep. Added bumpers and step bars. Next, tires/lift.

Might have a get a TJ to "play" with. These Jeeps have gotten so expensive off the lot.
