[AbyssOffroad]

Hey everyone. I am from the Buffalo, NY area and previously owned a 2016 Willys JKU. Been lurking since I picked up my 2023 Rubicon in August. Jokingly called it Abyss since that’s where it seems all my money goes.

Hi, currently have a custom ordered ‘22 Tuscadero JLUR 4xe which I am turning in for a new ‘24 Tuscadero JTMX which I’m having shipped to NJ from CA. This will be my 7th Jeep. I love my 4xe but a pick up will serve my needs better for work, so once I found this JT with almost everything my JL has, plus some things it doesn’t, in my favorite color I couldn't pass it up. I’m happy with the nation wide 20% off, plus the dealer offed additional 11% off. Can’t wait for it to arrive this coming week.

Very nice. What dealership?

Just purchased a new to me 2022 JG Rubicon. 25K on the clock, well optioned vehicle. Heading out west from Fl to AZ, then north To Salt Lake City to meet up with my boys for a bucket list fishing trip on the Green River then onward to Alaska then back home. I'll be pulling my Winnebago Hike 100 along. Traded in my beloved 2016 JGC Overland with 130K on the clock, since I need something a bit more 'robust' off road. Gonna keep JG stock, but would like a suggestion for a lockable-sturdy tonneau cover.

Daven if you can live with the lock being the tailgate.
There are a lot of options for hard foldable. I picked up a cheap 300$ 3 fold for mine in December works great so far. Closed it's locked by tail gate

Tono king for example. Under $400

Wow, you’re not kidding. $49k for a new Rubicon JT with steel bumpers

Some kind of special addition too

What were the taxes like?

I’ll be paying NJ taxes. 6.625% plus luxury tax of 0.4%.

My name is Dan. We picked up a 2021 Sport Willys last weekend. Basically it is all stock except it came with a lift, aftermarket front bumper and winch.

The lift is EVO 2 1/2” (found part number on springs). I’ve been trying to find stock height information as the lift looks like more than 2 1/2”.

I’ve owned a 55 Willys truck, 57 Willys Wagon, 87 YJ and currently own a JKU, JKUR, and LJR plus the JT now.

Been on here a couple months. Finally took a picture of my truck and updated my profile picture.

Mods have been minimal:
Vent visors
Generic version of OEM rubber floor mats
Rubber door sill guards
Installed OEM 114v bed outlet and dash switch (what a pain in the... to install)
Fas-Top Traveller tonneau and canopy 2-in-1 (Great for the person that can't decide on a rollup tonneau or canopy. It gives you both)
Patriot Bed Liner

Hi, peoples.
Greetings from the frozen North, all.
Harmon, here.
Bought my Mojave in Anchorage in January, after 20 years of not owning a Jeep. Last one was a 1983 Scrambler that my Dad put together enough to let a teenage boy learn to drive... and how to break properly. She died well in 1998, victim of a very quick pine tree in Louisiana (where Im from) that suddenly jumped out at me in a suicidal manner. Tree made it and was subsequently charged with jeepslaughter.

The new rig is a 24 JT/M, manual, gas. Just getting her together and modding bit by bit towards what I want her to be. Hence the nickname:

Dreadnought.

Mostly here for modern day tips and tricks of mechanics work, and wiring. (Where in the blue hell do I tuck this wire?) Things of that nature.

Will keep it light, funny and probably include completely improbable stories that I'll try to backup with pics.

Thanks for having me!

Good Morning-
New member here and new to me 2022 Gladiator Sport S Max Tow owner - but not new to Jeeps. My first Jeep was a 46 CJ-2A which I still own and have had for 42 years. Have had most models at one time or another and still have a few.

Looking forward to a few modifications - mild lift, etc. and using this site.

Gotta love those old jeeps. I converted my 47 to a truck with 25.5 inch frame stretch, V6, SM420, PS, PB, etc. and it’s been to Moab several times. No plans to sell anytime soon…Maybe I should put a Gladiator sticker on it, that would mess with all the old jeeps owners…

Hey there everyone! Keith here, just bought a new to me 2023 JT Willys. Loving it so far! Had a 1984 CJ-7 in the 90's and wanted to get back in one ever since I sold it. Nothing like doors and top off.
