New member but not to wheeling-Sacramento area

[Area 51]

Greetings all.
NorCal Herald area.
I miss my Land Cruisers, and Jeeps are a train wreck these days.
I am thinking the IG is a big move up and will satisfy my old school wheeling dreams.
Not ready to pull the trigger yet but sure getting there quickly.
Looking forward to learning lots from this forum.
2000 Jeep TJ, nicely built out. stock engine except for a few basic upgrades, 5spd.
A real Jeep.
Thx

We love our TJ even with 175K on the odo. The Grenadier is in a whole other league. By comparison the Jeep feels like toy.

Jeeps are toys, always have been. If I put 200mi/ year on the TJ I would be impressed.
Once better service and dealer access is in place I am really looking forward to the expedition vehicle move that the IG presents. The only dealer that the IG site lists is in San Rafael, thats not very local to the Sacramento area.

Head west a bit and pop over the Richmond bridge. That's a lot closer than the distances many owners have to deal with.

Looks like once they get up and running thats as good as it gets for a while.
To come that far for service is scary.

If google maps is correct, that's only a 90 minute drive (I understand it'll be longer if you're out in like Shingle Springs, or North of Sacramento).... For the vast majority of the owners that is a very close dealer

Understand, its the traffic vs time of day.
