I've been hanging around here for a while, rarely posting but I've never did an introduction post. Name's Chuck, I live in Southport, NC (Cape Fear area) and I bought my '24 Big Bend 2dr back in November. I've owned lots of Jeeps, 1 CJ-3A, 1 CJ-7 and 4 Wranglers- 3 TJ's and a JK. I also had a '19 Colorado ZR-2 that was a great truck with awful seats. I needed something that met this criteria:
1. Fun
2. Light enough to be a TOAD behind my Class C motorhome, also must be 4WD and able to be put in neutral tow mode.
3. Comfy enough to take short trips in- say, 300 miles or less.

Jeeps were out- I'm just not a fan of the JL platform. We considered a Maverick hybrid and came real close to buying one when I looked out the window of the dealership and eyed this:

Got the salesman to get the keys and after an extended test drive, I was hooked. Made a great deal and already put 19,000 miles on it. It's my daily driver, TOAD, and fun vehicle- ok, it shares that duty with this:

Welcome from a fellow BB towed owner. I currently own 5 Fords and consider them all fun, life's too short to drive boring vehicles. I wasted 10 years with that 2013 Explorer (replaced with a 2023 which is fun!) in the stable!

If I had a nickel for every time...:)
Thanks for the welcome!
I figured but even still somebody had to do it :p.
Not to worry, I get it about my last name all the time as well ;)

2019 Dynamax Isata3 24RB. Just enough for the two of us, we've really enjoyed it, although we haven't used it enough so far this year. We have plans to correct that very soon, though. A few Navy reunions and some visits to areas we haven't been to yet are upcoming.
