Hello all, im Phil and I live in Albucrackie New Mexico. I bought my very first Wrangler last month and I love every second of it. I go out and look for random things to drive over just because I CAN! LOL I have a 2008 X, sadly all stock still, but already looking at catalogs to see what i want to do to it. I have very little mechanical skills, but from what I have been told a Jeep will teach you very quickly. Hope to get mod ideas from other JK owners to put on my "wish list"

Welcome aboard. My rig started life as a stripped X. Suffice to say that it isn't stock anymore (much to the dismay of my wife and my banker). I'd start with more substantial wheels and tires if it was me. Good luck!

When I bought my JK, it was also my first. I hope you get the same enjoyment out of yours as I have mine. I would also start with replacing wheels, tires and a lift. Not a big fan of the stock look, but these three things will have heads turning everywere that you go. Welcome to Jeep and JKO.

Welcome Cubbie, this was our first Wrangler as well. Had it for a little over a year and still stock for now:bawling: but we love every minute of it. Enjoy

We have family up in Corrales and drove the JK out last year. There are a few members on here from the ABQ area I believe. Maybe next time out we can meet up with some of the locals.

Thanks all, I would love to get the lift and wheels, however being that this is also my daily driver, i dont want the mpg to drop too much...

My DD also. Granted I only went with 32s (stock Rubicon wheels and tires) but my mileage didn't drop significantly.

Welcome to the forum.

If you water it, it will grow.

It's like a sickness, once you start you can't stop.

M jk is my 3rd jeep. Once you get above 33's, you will see a significant drop in gas mileage. Gotta start looking into more expensive lifts and lower gear ratios as well if you go taller than that. Also, all the extra ad ons to make the jk tick. It is addictive, kinda like tattoos...and you always start out with just something easy....like bigger tires. Have fun and good luck!

welcome. I always say wheel it first. I have wheeled my Rubicon stock and loved it. This past weekend took a guy in an X with the upgraded 17" rims and the GS-A tires on and he had a lot of fun on the rocks.
