Hello from Reno

Hi, my name is Peter, and I have an automobile addiction. I'm also a Jeep NOOB.

I've owned many cars in the last 20 years but never a pickup truck; some notable ones include a Nissan GT-R, Subaru STi, Spec Boxster, Spec Miata, FJ Cruiser, a stock JKU, and most recently a Tesla Model Y.

I've done some unconventional stuff with the Tesla because I love pushing things to the limit. Most recently I towed a (probably overweight) 4x8 U-Haul cargo trailer with all my belongings up the 395 from LA to Reno last year. Ask me about why I think EVs are not quite ready for towing long distances yet .

Given the limitations of the Tesla as my only vehicle, I just bought my first truck ever from Kent at Petersons in Idaho (thanks to Eddie's YouTube videos), a 2022 JT Mojave that I am expecting to pick up any day now!

I'm hoping to build the JT into a multi-function rig that can hold its own on easy-to-moderate trails, tow my RZR around, and haul wood from Home Depot.

I've been lurking on these forums since I ordered and am loving the vibe. No BS advice, no hidden agenda to push products or vendors, and all the while maintaining a positive and welcoming attitude.
