Jeep.

[Dorado]

My TJ is very comfortable because I threw the back seat away and bought some brackets that move the driver seat and the passenger seat rearward about 4 in.

I'm 6'4"

Using my girlfriends jeep to move a few things...we.re not together anymore BTW......

  FYI..jeep trans not going into drive from 2nd.. after a lot of searching for the correct answer on the internet and many wrong info...bad trans, need rebuilt, pump..and tons of other mis-information..  finally discovered it was a relay in the fuse box... 

 

[Crash]

Soon. 2018

That's a Jeep for people who want to "pretend" to own a Jeep.  A/C, cruise control, hardtop, stereo, etc....

This is a Jeep

 

[avenger79]

agree. I ordered my Jeep because everything on the lot was A/C, Auto, hard top etc.

Young salesman I ordered from said I don't understand what you're ordering. old guy walks by and says "oh a "real" Jeep" LOL

no PW, PL, A/C or auto in mine.

First Jeep an 85 CJ-7, off the lot with 400 miles, $ 8500.00, Inline 6, put over 250 K miles on it, even stock would go places most couldn't. Unfortunately, this was about the time the EPA started cracking down on emissions, and the motor was re-designed with a computer controlled/metered carb, vacuum lines out the wazoo, solenoids, etc. 

Grand Wagoneer (woody), Cherokees and Grand Cherokees also in the mix...

Venture a guess on the 2018 price tag approaching 45K...?

Rumor that the Chinese were considering buying the Jeep Brand, ouch!

ah , sorry, I feel like a dick.  I won't bring it up again.

That ain't a Jeep.

I had a (Never should have sold it) 1953 M38a1 that was unstoppable. I took the Cooper cross country tires off of it for that reason..... It wouldn't stop in the snow. After I put regular M/S 10 ply radials on it (7.5X34/16) It was a great driving car, as long as you didn't want to go over 45-50MPH, which I didn't. When we moved to the Caribbean, I seriously considered bringing it, but the import duty on a vehicle that old was insane. When we moved back to the states, I tried to buy it back from the guy who bought it from me..... He'd replaced the distributor cap..... I sold it to him for 2.4K, and he wanted 12K.... Needless to say I'm still Jeepless.

I had a JC3B

could have bought another house with what I DUMPED in it

bought it stock, wore it out put a Buick V6  +++++++++++ Everyfucking thing I could do to it

I could put the towbar onto something and unlock the hubs on all 4 wheels

It's Not that I'm Not a Jeep Guy

I'm Not a coil spring auto roll over and die jeep guy

 

[Mojo31]

Loved my JK when I had it, and wouldn't mind picking up another.  Miss that thing.

And, in response to an earlier post, I'm sorry but life is too short to drive a minivan.

Base price will be around $27k. Not too bad, Dana designed new axles for it. And yes it's a jeep, is your car not a car because it has roll up windows? 

I'm picking up a basic one, with only cruise and a/c. 

Owen, you are a dick, having said that I never made it to the can, 90 day rehab for me, year license suspension.

I get the no frills for a lighter weight and reliability, however I love an auto transmission especially when I rock crawl. The JK Rubicon is the best factory crawler to date. If I didn't need a Diesel truck for work I would have one as a daily driver.

I'd  love to have that new Jeep and I get it with an automatic transmission with cruise control. The only real pain in the ass with my TJ is driving long distance without cruise control

I've got a 4.0 5-speed. You actually have to give it throttle to go downhill. 15 miles per gallon is all you're going to get

I'll own that and be stuck with this:                               

Godspeed on your progress, either auto or stick.

We have been testing 3 of the 2018 JLs for nearly a year now.  Some good stuff.  Some not so good.  Some interesting power train options forthcoming.  More windshield rake and stop/start to help with fuel economy.

Check out Rick Booth's Facebook page, he got an old Wileys Jeep on the road, after being stored for 35-some years.

That man is the Amadeus Mozart of bringing old engines back to life.

How does that start/stop gadget work with manual? Is the side vent functional?  Is.... oh nevermind.... 

Spies say an 8 speed automatic and 6 speed manual.

The "not so good" sounds ominous.

Will any new Jeep (or any other brand 4x4)

Be able to navagate parkinglot speedbumps
