Good morning. I believe there’s a few Jeep fans on the forum. Just picked up the all new Jeep Wrangler JL.
Many great differences vs the previous model. Pics are the....”before” the modifications begin....tires, wheels, lift, etc....
Not a whole lot of aftermarket accessories out there yet, as this is just out recently. Have a great day All!

It's amazing what offering a 4 door version has done for sales of the Wranglers

Any4xx · 22 February 2018, 11:25 PM

I’m a die-hard 2-door guy. Ive looked over the JL’s and they do have a lot of nice improvements over the JK. If I had unlimited funds I’d flip my ‘15 for one, but I can’t justify it. My only real disappointment is that they were talking about improved fuel mileage for so long. But their improvement is measured in tenths of M’sPG.

Jeeps are more dangerous than watches. Addicting and limitless modifications can be made...and will be made. Your Jeep looks nice. Would like to see it again 1 year from now!

Tell me about it... ‘47 CJ2a, ‘67 CJ3b, ‘70 CJ5, ‘74 CJ5. All but the ‘70 wrecked off road beyond repair. The 2a may still be at the bottom of a river.

I absolutely agree! Thank you

MonBK · 23 February 2018, 01:22 AM

I like it.

GB-man · 23 February 2018, 01:27 AM

Nice Jeep! Have fun

sco · 23 February 2018, 01:31 AM

That’s come a long way from my ‘97 Wrangler. Especially the interior....

I’m a two door wrangler kind of guy, but I get the appeal of yours. Enjoy it!

travisb · 23 February 2018, 01:33 AM

Looks great! Post pics of the add-ons once it's all hooked up.

Those were all before it was fashionable to have a 4x4 or go off roading for fun. In other words, dirt cheap, bare bones, all terrain machines intended to be abused.

Chloe&Harley · 23 February 2018, 03:55 AM

I'm waiting for the pick up version . I believe they were waiting until the new platform to roll it out . Had many current daily driver for gilfriend Renegade Trailhawk

goin camping · 23 February 2018, 04:40 AM

Been a jeep junkie since the 80's. New JL do look nice with some improvements. Have to stick with my 14 for another decade or so. Just got it right.

Congrats OP!

datejustrms · 23 February 2018, 04:47 AM

Congrats on the new JL, it looks great! Please let me know how it rides, I have a 2015 JK Sahara Unlimited and love it. Mine is rough on the highway. I've heard the JL rides a lot nicer. Good luck with it.

Thank you. As far as ride quality....it is excellent. I had a 15 JKU before this and the JL is definitely more refined. The ride is nice(longer wheelbase)
I’m putting on the 2in lift tomorrow with 33’s. Will report back when I do the modifications.

christo4 · 23 February 2018, 04:54 AM

Very cool. 4-door jeeps have been leaving my '99 behind at the light for years, now, so that 3.6L (?) must be nicely responsive.

The 3.6L is their workhorse now. It's in our 2011 Durango. Moves that beast pretty well for a V6.

Very nice Rich. Congratulations

Letsgodiving · 23 February 2018, 09:31 AM

Very nice and congrats. I've been seriously thinking about getting a 2 door Willys JK. Hoping for a good deal once the 2 door JL's start hitting the dealers. Keep the mod photos coming.

Limestonedan · 23 February 2018, 12:33 PM

Congrats Richard! Enjoy the new ride and updates.
