@BatteryOaksBilly and @Hammer12b how’d I do? Will post some more pictures in the daylight tomorrow. It’s a little rougher riding than my wife’s Honda Pilot, but I am guessing it will be more useful in the mountains. My first ever Jeep.

Ha! I have a buddy with a 50 cal and it has already been discussed. But I try to be the gray man. My membership here notwithstanding. A 50 call in the bed may give me away.

Man I like that. I probably can’t fit in it, but I still like it.
OP
It’s not bad. With no roof liner I have a lot of extra headspace. Looked at a Tacoma too, but that had less room everywhere. I’m average sized so plenty of space for me. Never owned a Jeep and figured everybody should have 1 in their life.
OP
Gas. Couldn’t find a Willy’s with a diesel. Think they are rare, or non-existent.
OP
Auto. Not sure there is manuals for the current Willy’s either. For what I am going to do Auto Is good.

Okay, post is over 2 hours old. Honeymoon is over.
This is what a small gray 4wd truck is supposed to look like.

With the engine and final drive ratio that Jeep has, you’re better off with an automatic transmission rather than a manual for road use.
Nice Jeep btw.
OP
🙄
I guess if you drive from home to the nail salon and back. 😆
And why running boards for a truck 3” off the ground. My dachshund could climb in that. 👻

Looks good! I may consider a Gladiator for the next one but having an F350 I didn’t need a truck. I’d put a camper shell on it and use it as an Unlimited extension.
OP
More pics in the rain.
1 day review. Like it a lot. But needs more cup holders and a place for a phone. I’m sure I can buy something for the phone, but seems like in 2021 they could figure that out.

OP
I’d put a Confederate Battle Flag on it except I’m a transplant and that would be cultural appropriation. Might get my ass kicked. Plus I‘d prefer to postpone my trip to the re-education camp as long as possible.

Maybe get one of these magnetic Confederate flags. Put it on when you go to Jefferson, take it off on your way back.

I sport my battle flag. Got one flying outside my house, a few t shirts, and decals for my truck.

And the headliner in the truck I built. My nephew came and got it at the end of summer. He is going thru a rough time and needed a vehicle. I told him to come get this one and he can have it
OP
Good idea. One neighbor is a Miami guy. Another one owns the TV shop in town. The Miami guy commented to me that the TV guy is far right because he always has Fox News on in his shop. And had Trump signs.
A Confederate Flag would probably send him into hysteria. And his wife is wackier than he is. Bet I could give her a heart attack or get the FBI called on myself.

Check out bulletpoint they have a phone mount specifically for the Jeep.
OP
Saw that one. Just ordered a Ram Mount. There were so many I’m sure I’ll end with a box of mounts just like a holster box. 😩
They use the same ball mount as Ram....have a few Ram mounts for my motorcycle and work truck... the bullet point mount uses screws from the dash and it holds rock solid.
General Stonewall Jackson!!!!!! You will Not be dissatisfied...I am on my 3rd. a Mojave. That thing you got is the bee's knees!!! 4:10s?
SEE!!!!!!!^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
OP
I guess it does need a name. How’s Stonewall sound? Maybe I can find or create a cool magnet or decal for it.
Drive that thing down here. You'll get 20+mpg and you'll have a ball when you get here!!!
OP
I’d like to do that. I need to find a weekend when my wife and daughter are out of town for a volleyball tourney. When the weather is decent. Reserve me that weekend in the Spring when it’s 75 and Sunny with zero humidity.
Peel the Willys stickers off and have some made that says Stonewall, it fits and now its Yours ! I work for Jeep and personally I think all you are nuts.
