Hello from the other side of the pond!
Hello everybody, and congrats on this magnificent forum! 
It is amazing how rich in info it is, and has been so far a great help in "understanding" my JK.
I am an Italian living in Bulgaria since a while, and after much though (and evaluating many options) I bought last year a 2dr CRD (that's the Diesel!) Sahara with an auto gearbox.
I have a curious love-hate relationship with it, mingling wonderful off-road performance (I am only daring light to moderate trails until I get some recovery equipment) and the unique feel of an open-air four-wheel "motorbike" (my other motoring interest) with a somewhat impractical day-to-day ride: here is where I love to read posts of clever people who have solved space issues and the such!
I am also amazed that, so far, everything I need is covered: the other day, for example, I managed to remove the rear part of the hard top, for the first time, and I discovered the seat belt flapping issue! Come back home, use some search, and problem solved. Fantastic!
This is my first Jeep, having owned only Land Rovers in the past (ooops) and for a while sharing a Suzuki Jimny with my partner. But I never managed to "wheel" them, the JK is the first, and it rocks!
I would like to attach a pic, but I am uncertain as whether is allowed, as they are 'hosted' in another forum (is a car forum, not a 4x4 forum ... I am the only one with a 4-wheel vehicle with a 10" ground clearance!!!
).
Hope to post more in the future ... I have been lurking for a while, now I hope to contribute somewhat.
Thanks!

Hello to you also. I know what you meen about the motorcycle. I sold my bike after I bought the Jeep. To many more things I could do with the Jeep than the bike. My wife even tried to talk me in to keeping the bike but she didn't ride with me so I sold it anyway.

Welcome to JK-Forum leolito. I'm glad you have enjoyed your stay here so far. As far as posting pics, if they are hosted at another car forum it shouldn't be a probelm. We also have a free hosting site for you to use if you want MY.Project-JK.com or you can just attach them to the post you are making.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome! 
Here's my "beast", then (hope's not too large!):
http://www.live2drive.net/forum/albu...rue&user_id=79
Picture was taken last week on a small journey through the trails around the Rila mountains, close to Sofia. There are a lot of trails around there, so I am slowly making them one by one ....
Here other pictures (link to the gallery):

And here are 'poser' pictures
and others.

In Europe the Wrangler is considered a "suv" (there is a lot of confusion between "true jeeps" and "fake jeeps" because of this foreign-introduced acronym) ... then there you go on the "Utility" part!
It was fun!
