      Congratulations on ordering your new Sahara! It's so exciting when we finally get to fulfill our long-held dreams, especially when it comes to something as special as a new vehicle. I'm sure you're counting down the days until it arrives, and I hope you have a blast driving it and making new memories. Thank you for sharing your excitement with us, and I hope you enjoy your new Sahara to the fullest!

    I absolutely loved the "This is your Jeep" section. I now plan on camping frequently with my Jeep, but it wasn't always that way. I really just wanted one because I thought they look cool lol. And it wasn't until afterwards, thanks to the Jeep community, that I really started exploring the potential of the vehicle, and it's seriously a lifestyle change.

    Good stuff Matt ! I've been driving Jeeps since 1978 and the one thing I've noticed is the people with new Jeeps don't know about the Jeep wave. I wave to all the Wranglers and some look at me like I have 2 heads. I guess that there not real Jeepers, just trying to look cool, and they do.

      I’m a new owner and when I first drove it I had to Jeepers wave and I naturally waved back. Someone told me about the wave and now I do it all the time to everyone! I really felt great when they waved at me the first time really warm I love it!

    @johnmcwade222 Před rokem +15

    One thing I wish I could tell myself when building our Jeeps is not to buy cheaper parts, when they wear out to quickly you end up buying the better part anyway, thinking you are saving money at that moment comes back to bite you in the wallet. I learned this lesson buying Rough County and Rubicon Express parts, junk.

  • @jinxatnite
    @jinxatnite Před rokem +7

    First time Jeep owner here! 2017 JKU Rubicon in Chief, mine was pretty heavily modified by the previous owner, so my first few steps into my Jeep have been trying to return it to at least OEM+. I bought it about 3 days ago at the time of this comment, and I've been met with nothing but warm welcomes from the community, even with my temp tag still on lol. It always makes me smile when I get a wave, or even getting my first duck the day I bought it, love the Jeep community so far.

You are really helping us decide what WE want in our Jeep. Just us and the dogs visiting National Parks. Maybe tow a small teardrop camper. Not rock crawlers but we do live in the country and need to get through deep snow to get to our house some days 😂. You are correct want to order the right stuff up front and not have buyers remorse.

    Hey Matt thanks for the nice video. We bought our first Wrangler in June and are enjoying it very much. Have been on a few long trips with it and find it very comfortable. Haven’t gone off road yet but will eventually. I put rock rails and door sill protectors on it, and will eventually put on all terrain tires, although the stock Michelin all season tires are pretty good. Nothing but good things to say so far. Thanks again for all the great information.

    I just got my first Jeep. Been stalking this channel. Got a 2022 Willys. I have to say the handling at highway speed is crazy. The husband says my mudders need to wear down a bit to reduce sway. I’ve mastered the mountain roads and LOVE it! The highway is not my friend yet. I will adapt but man, I would have loved the warning. I was white knuckling it on Georgia 400 yesterday morning.

    @moreaufamily437 Před rokem +7

    I've been enjoying upgrading my Jeep since I bought it last year. I started with tube doors for the summer. Then it was a front bumper, winch, led lights and upgraded skid plates. This spring I followed up with the matching rear bumper. I have a few more mods I want to do but in the end I still want my Jeep to look like a Jeep. I don't want to go too overboard and I figure that with mine being a 2 door I'll have better choices in driving lines offroad and don't necessarily have to go insane with lifts and huge tires. So to me things like diff protection which is not really visible is more important than some crazy grille. But that's me. I gut my chops years ago with Hummers and I thoroughly enjoyed a 1999 H1 that I had, but the Jeep is the modern day alternative and it's much smaller size makes it to me anyways a better choice.

    I had one as a teenager and loved it so much. It was a 95 and eventually just too impractical for me to keep and I had to sell it then to get something new. I’m just now buying a newer JK and so excited. Can’t wait to start making it my own. I saw the duck on one in a parking lot and had no clue it was a thing, I almost took it thinking someone bad was marking their car 😂

  • @RedSiBaron
    @RedSiBaron Před rokem +4

    Man are you reading my mind. We finally put in our order yesterday. Settled on a sarge rubicon with the 6spd (wife insisted on manual). kept addons to a minimum, premium soft top, cold weather, and tow. One thing that pushed me into the rubicon, even though I liked the interior on the sport s more (come on tan cloth and no red), was that I was already saying "well I can swap the front axle with a dana44 takeoff", "well, I can re-gear and add ox lockers", well you get the point. I have SO MANY garage projects including a bus conversion, that I figured, lets just start on the right foot and it's all under warranty. I had a 6spd frontier pro4x years ago and I loved it for a lot of the stuff in the rubicon, dana 44s, locker, lift, bigger tires, suspension, skids. so it definitely seemed like the right decision since I used all of it and this is even better. This video is really on point though, I tried to be SUPER honest with myself, don't cheap out because you'll spend the money in the end, and know what you want to do.
    The only thing I'm on the fence on was I didn't opt for the 4.88 gears. I'm probably going to kick myself when I have to spend a weekend some day pulling the diffs apart to put them in, but we're not ditching the 33s until they wear out, and I figured with the 4.88s it would be really weird to drive.

  • @DM-fv7hw

    This is a great video. I'd like to add; get to know your Jeep in stock form. I was really impressed with Lite Brite, when they wheeled their stock Rubicon for a while before lifting it. I was impressed with what it was capable of. Also keep in mind your limitations. While 37" tires will look awesome are they practical? Are they affordable? Etc.

    #6 JEEP stand for Just Empty Every Pocket. You can spend a fortune on aftermarket stuff. most of it is not needed. depending on which model you purchased. for example, a Sport or Sahara model may need a lift, bigger tires and gears if you plan to take it rock crawling. but they are perfectly fine if you just hit dirt roads and go camping. even with stock wheels and tires, they are more capable than most people's driving capabilities. I have owned 3. a 95 YJ Sahara, a 05 TJ Sport X, and my current 2015 JKU Rubicon Hard Rock Edition. my 95 got a 2-inch lift and 33-inch tires. my 05 for a lift, bigger tires, gears, and a killer Kenwood sound system, CB, and some chrome tube bumpers, mound for jerry cans, and a high lift jack, lockers, and much more. but I have not had to modify my Rubicon hardly at all. just mounts for the high lift jack and some jerry cans. from the factory it is far more capable than my driving skills off road. in 9 years, it has never let me down, or left me stranded, or stuck in some place i could not get out of. you don't need all the goodies to go off road in your jeep. people survived outdoors long before jeeps. just get out and have fun.

    Last March (2023) I bough my first but second hand Jeep. 2009 Jeep JK Shorty ( 2 Door) hard top in Manual Transmission. I only drive manuals. I love her and will never ever drive another sedan. I already added a touch screen for Apple Car Play for music, maps and phone etc. also a reverse camera installed at same time. I would love to buy a secondhand soft top converter for this Jeep. I also need to touch up the wheels and nuts as they were bit looked after by previous owners. 2 previous owners I believe. Original windscreen also which is awesome. She has been well looked after for sure. Down the track I hope to upgrade to another 2 door newer model but second hand as I can’t afford brand new ❤°|||||||°❤ I love the iconic Jeep stripes and lights look

  • @jaredhaas4168
    @jaredhaas4168 Před 7 měsíci +1

    I go back and forth on whether a Jeep is right for me. I live on a few hundred acres, mostly hunting land with old logging trails. I'm not really into off roading but I think a Jeep might be able to function as both a family vehicle (two kids) and a utility vehicle on my land. I work from home and am only a few miles out of town so I don't put on many miles, not super concerned about gas mileage. If it would mean I don't have to but a UTV, a Jeep might make sense...But maybe a truck would be better...or just a car and a side by side. Any opinions from people who know Jeeps?

  • @stevenririe7183
    @stevenririe7183 Před rokem +24

    Hey Matt! I’m a huge Wrangler fan and I have always wanted one since I was a kid. I always planned on getting one when I got older; but now that I’ve hit the 30-year milestone in my life, the thought of owning my dream vehicle-a High Velocity Yellow Sahara (4xe if I dream extra hard)-still feels like a pipe dream.
    Every time I build my own Wrangler on Jeep’s site, I get a little depressed when I see the final price tag. Even with a 10-20% down payment my monthly would still be $1000/month… Does everyone here comfortably pay that or am I missing something? It’s mind boggling to me that people can afford 1-3 of these babies at a single time.
    I really enjoy being part of this group and seeing everyone’s dreams come to fruition. So my main question for you is this: How did you get there? How did you acquire your dream car(s)? I’d love any advice that you can provide! Thanks!

      Paid $585 (financed) for my first 2016 Jeep wrangler unlimited sport then traded that in with 68k miles for a 2023 Jeep wrangler Sahara Altitude and pay $491 (lease to own). I didn’t pay anything upfront for either of the jeeps. Have good credit. Keep negotiating! Go to more than one dealership… find someone who will work with you. There’s a dealership who will want to beat anything offered to you.

      I understand your feelings. I've always wanted a jeep since I was 18yr old. 30+ yrs later, I finally got one. I would say, lease one.... just to have the experience n see if you will want it forever. I got 4K down with $389 a month. Brand new 2023 4xe Willy, soft top

      I got a 1995 YJ got it because 95 was galvanized frame and body. It is 2.5 ax5 transmission. Was on 35s with 4 inch lift. Now it is on 31s as 2.5 not pushing 35s. Absolutely love it want to put chevy either 350 NV 4500 or 4.3 NV 3500. Just paid cash for 2014 Rubicon. Plan to leave it mostly stock, as wife likes being able to get in with out chinups on cage. Has more creature comforts like ac for wife and dogs.

    Love Jeep.. Wanted to emphasise getting to know your 4WD before you spend a ton of money modifying it. A stock Jeep will do some serious off roading and while you’re wheeling you’ll get to know the mods you want.

    I really want a Jeep but can't wrap my head around the price for the one I want. I know that they're a blast and I've had a lot of fun in my buddies, but dropping 65-70k seems nutty. I can "afford" one but I keep thinking about all the other things we could invest in and earn a return on. Maybe I need to just get over myself and buy an older one to mod out. Could probably get something decent for 30k all in and not use it as my everyday driver.

  • @nathan0717
    @nathan0717 Před rokem +1

    The holy trinity for jeeps….(now I’m only 2 yrs in) but it goes…Bigger tires (that’s a must), lift kit (you want to sit higher, and if you take on trails you need it, I have a 3 inch lift), and light bar……that’s more of a “yeah I’m in the jeep community” thing. After that…do exactly what he said in the video and make it how u want! Screw what people think. If you like it then do it. I have angry eyes on mine and I found out a lot of people don’t like it but idc 😂

    Guys, if you plan on lifting your jeep and putting some bigger tires in it, change the front driveshaft the stock drive shaft on these jeeps aren’t meant for that type of rotation at the angle and will wear a lot quicker, also track bar, tie rod bar, ball joints it’s expensive but it will make your life easier if you plan on having it a long time peace ✌️

    I have been a Wrangler owner since 2007. My Jeep wave is unpredictable. My waves are different sometimes but I've been doing it for a while. I have had ducks appear on my windshield. Haven't displayed my collection. I wish someone would do a design/style mod video - for example: the angry or shark grill. Not just useful and nifty interior accessories. My husband and I used to go through rocks and rivers (no matter the season) when we lived in upstate NY but now that we are back in MD, we almost never see a group out and about doing anything. I don't do mud - that doesn't include mud that is found in rivers and on rocks.

    I've had a Jeep Sport 2 dr since 2016. I love it. I got a Jeep Wrangler for more capability in Winter. Winter in Canada can be challenging and getting around in and after a big storm or blizzard is huge plus for me. Heck I don't even shovel the parking space out back that's what 4WD is for!
    Here's what I would add: Steering vagueness in Jeeps is legendary but if you add an aftermarket suspension lift kit that will improve greatly as so many parts are changed and re-configured that steering gets way better (if it's done properly). You have to name your Jeep, I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in the video, name your Jeep, do it , now it's mandatory. They are noisy, get used to it, they have a rougher ride, it's a Jeep, tough it out, you bought a Jeep you are not a wimp. You pull up to a stop light, next to you is a ( insert fancy sports car here). Who's ride is cooler? Yours is of course, yours has a name. Does his/hers have a name? Probably not but yours is cooler anyway.
