A state that has decent weather.
Pouring rain, blizzard snowstorm, or sub-zero temperatures is no place to be in a topless Jeep. There are lots of states to strike off the list.
Someplace with lots of sunshine and moderate temperatures. There are lots of states to include in the list.

Can't say which state is best, but I can say a Jeep will lead you to the state of poverty!

The best (thoughtfully build) tjs I’ve seen seem to all be in Colorado. Utah seems to have the newer built jeeps. The east coast has a lot of duck people or those that wheel just beat the crap out of their rigs so much they over build axles and tire size to over compensate for suspension or skill.

You're about to see what Appalachian hillbilly really means.

It's obviously Michigan because that's where you find jeeps in their most natural condition: rotted and dripping fluids.

Dripping means there's still some in there!

Kind of like those clear bottom boats.

All the best TJ's live in OHIO until the frame falls into 2 pieces going down the highway !

Ca, Az and Nv are the best states because we have the most land open to explore. Our roading is free we don’t have to pay for some private off road park. I live in SoCal and can be on the trails in less than 1/2 hour. Also we don’t get the rust rot that East Coasters get.

Western Colorado to be specific. Access to all the trails around Telluride and Ouray. Not a bad drive from Moab. Or even NE Arizona.

I like all the CO posts. But I doubt mine is in the list that makes people say that

tworley · Mar 22, 2025

CO trails suck. Don't come here

AndyG · Mar 22, 2025

I can’t say one state hands down rules, but I have seen many nice TJ/LJ rigs come out of Arizona. It sure stands out in my mind.

That said, cool rigs are all over.

Alabama sure isn’t high on the scale- our state color is primer.

Let me ask my wife what she thinks…..hey sis ! These guys want to know……..

California and it's not even close. For that is where the wizard dwells.

Reno, NV! Minimum regs, 45 mins from the Rubicon, and SO much public land to explore!

The same with Idaho... The Jeeps are rusty and overpriced, the trails suck, and the forest is closed. Stay TF away.

What about requiring an California State National Park Adventure Pass for most Mountain, Desert and Forest areas ?

"United" States is the best place to own a Jeep and Florida is the state where my Jeep calls home.

as proof, here's a pic of your typical eastern over built rig

Cali, hands down! Fewer regulations there.

I decided not to touch this one.

My very limited experience tells me CA has a lot of the nicest rigs.

Best wheeling is a different question, but I’d stay West and South.

All the best Jeep, live in what state?
