OK, I'm gonna look like a retard - I'm trying to switch from google
groups and start using Thunderbird, but I don't know what newsgroup
server to type in. I tried putting rec.autos.maker.jeep+****** - that
didn't work, so I tried looking through all the info on google but only
came up with the google feed.
I'm not computer illiterate, I'm just new to usenet. So somebody
please help me out so I can stop feeling like an idiot.

rec.autos.maker.jeep+****** is the name of the group

Your newsgroup server is the server your ISP uses for news.
You can contact your ISP for the server name, of go to their website,
it should be listed under support or in the FAQs.

It's somthing live: news-server.aol.com
