I am new to the Jeep JL Forum . I just traded a Corvette for my first Jeep Wrangler. My life long desire was to own a Jeep Wrangler. My new Wrangler is a 2022 Willys, 2 door, 3.6, Sarge with a hardtop. I had to garage my vettes for 5 months each year and couldn’t go off the beaten path, living in northern MN. It was time for a change at age 66. Setting up for overland trips with my misses and German Shepard. Good info on this forum!

Nice, Willys, 2 door, 3.6, nice pick! Welcome! The Willys is a great package to get into the Wrangler addiction! My last two new ones were Willys editions and treat me great! Enjoy vet.

Congrats on the Jeep! 👍

Condolences on the loss of the Vette. 😔

They make a great garage pair, but luckily I'm not in an area where a Vette has to stay parked for months at a time.

Sorry you lost your Vette(s) - more than one? Anyway I still have mine and don't plan to get rid of it anytime soon. I can drive it pretty much year round down here in FL, and top down mostly. Well except during love bug season. Congrats on the new Jeep Wrangler. Let's see some pics of the Wrangler and the vettes.

Having had both together, I don't think I would ever trade the Vette for the Wrangler. Two completely different experiences, and my Vette sees only about 1,000 mi/year.

Living in MN the vette was parked about 5 months. Had a couple of vettes for the last 11 years. I was putting 10k per year on the vettes but it dropped down to maybe 2k. I couldn’t take our dogs on trips. I missed going down gravel roads and trails. It was time for a change.
