I need a new jeep...
 

Probably wait until spring to get it.

Solid plan.

Link?

I thought so. My XJ is on its la last legs but I can nurse it through winter for under $500. Could possibly save up to around $12k for down payment if I wait until late may or early June.

Big Smoke needs a towel, to catch his sex.

Good for him.

Link?

That's wonderful news.

What is? That I need a new jeep or smoke needs a catch towel?

I need a new truck. Then I look at trucks online and see what they're selling for, and I say **** it and keep driving my old truck.

Yep. I have seen 13 year old wranglers with 140k still going for over $10k.

Thought about that one first. Decided it was too obvious.

Not getting a cherokee.

I'm in love with my '14 GC

:popcorn:

I suggest lots of lube.

I wish they made a Diesel version of the Wrangler/Unlimited

Why?

Same here. I got the diesel. Great mileage, but it's been in the shop a few times. Runs like a bat out of hell when the turbo kicks in.

2017 model. Expected starting price I have seen is over $40k. I refuse to spend that on a vehicle that will get beat to shit.

I just bought a 1952 Willies military Jeep with my old man. All original. Needs work, but pretty kick ass.

Bad, childish joke.

Oh I don't disagree, I have a '00 Cherokee that is my fun machine - the 14 is just so I can still get around when it floods/blizzards around here lol

Haha, I was being serious - do you feel that the GC is more prone to breakdown ? I really wanted an Unlimited but my better half vetoed the idea. I'll definitely trade her in in '17 if they will have a diesel version.

Nice! I'd love to see some pics!

My XJ is a 2000. Starting to rust badly in places and electrical gremlins are breeding. Also no a/c which makes rush hour horrendous. Time to put her out to pasture and replace with a wrangler.

From what I have seen is that they are expected in the 2017 model. I wish I could convince myself it is worth the premium price.

But if I spend the extra for diesel then no yearly vacations.

That sucks! Sorry to hear. Mine is starting to rust on the body, nothing I have noticed undercarriage wise. How many miles does she have?

The amount you save in not going to the pump is worth it.

I just traded in a VW Jetta Turbo Diesel that was getting 35-38 MPG. If the Jeep can get 25-30 that's totally worth it.

When I was a kid I played in this thing in the basement of the neighbors old barn.

220k. Had 91k when I got it 8 years ago. Engine still strong. Just too many little things I am tired of chasing.

That's badass! I'd love to see any progress pics you have when you start working on it

Going to take some time.

Looks like a fun project.

Just picked up 4 of these bad boys for my 04 Wrangler. I've been doing a lot of tune up stuff by myself. I've never been an auto mechanic type, but it's been fun and I've learned a ton.

Changing the blower motor resistor had me wanting to go on a killing spree though.

I have a 2014 Passat TDI that gets 40-45 all the time..have got 50 a few times on longer highway trips across Kansas..****ing love that car

My 03 Wrangler gets 21..which is better than my pickup I sold..it was 12..no matter what

I'm getting ready to put on the BFG TKO 2..everything I have read says they are the best all terrain tire available..hope so with the price for 32s

Great project! I would love to have that in my garage.

I have a JK. Been good to me so far. Definitely looking forward to seeing what it can do this winter.

Fiat is garbage

No more than you are.

Just bought my wife a 4 door Sahara I don't hate the 4 doors as much as I thought I would it still turns well and faired decent on the trails.

nice. I've got a '48 I've restored from the frame up. If you need any help or info, let me know. Is yours a M38 or a CJ3a? Oh, and pics please!

Here's mine before I tore into it. Now it's color is OD and it's got the original type one directional thread tires.

My 55 year old female co-worker just bought a new Jeep Renegade. Looks very similar to this one. I like it a lot, but it looks more like a "woman's" jeep.

Ooooo.... I really like this one...

Very cool!

It looks like inbred jeep offspring that grandpa willys should have put down before the townsfolk found out the wrangler banged it's half sister the patriot.

I refuse to acknowledge that as a jeep.

That looks like a Kia.

That's kind of what I thought. It's about the size of one, too. Just not quite as "boxy".

Still, I'd totally get the blue one (and tint the windows). Of course, I'm a chick, sooo...

^^^^

It's a FIAT 500 disguised as a Jeep.

LMAO I just Googled "cute ute" and the first hit was a page of pictures of the new Jeep Renegade. :facepalm:

It looks more like a Jeep than the gawdawful Compass.

QFT

Is the Renegade the new Liberty? Or is that the Compass?

The new Cherokees front ends are just ugly as shit.

M38

Here's a pic

I had a 1993 GC and a 2002 GC, both straight six Larado package. Best engine ever. I put 150K on the first one and 250K on the second one.

I bought a Lesbian Mobile (Subaru Outback) to replace the 2002. The new GC's with decent equipment are close to $40 Grr. Too many samolias for an SUV.

The front end doesn't look that bad. I think it looks better than a jeep Cherokee.

Sweet. :thumb:
I see another one there behind it, I take it that is not your only vintage Jeep? :hmmm:

Not even the signature grill can make that ugly ass thing look anything like any kind of Jeep.

Absolutely terrible design. But that is what happens when your parent company is European.....

The Cherokee is the new Liberty which was the replacement for the Cherokee.

I've got a 96' Cherokee, 4.0 liter, 4x4, 257,000 miles on the original drive train. Still runs good, doesn't even burn any oil.

My Dad has another one. I think it's a 41. It's kind of a mix-match Someone in the 60's built the hard top for it. Fun to have two if them. The 52 is pretty much all original and hasn't been messed with.

:thumb:

Speaking of which, I saw a Kia Sol with flames on it today. First time for that. WOW.
