Jeep sales tanking

[Txdweeb]

My 15 Tundra is at 154K trouble free, and I abuse the shit out of it. Had a CJ6 back in the day. I laid it over, off roading at low speed once, after far exceeding the design parameters. Act stupid enough and stupid shit happens.

Your tundra just getting broken in but your last sentence is absolute truth.

I had to buy a foreign jeep to get what Jeep should have offered all along. A simple no frills 4x4. Jeep was so scared of it they sued Mahindra and now the new Roxors are butt ugly with a redesigned front clip. Nevermind that Mahindra has had the rights to produce jeeps since after WW2. Jeep didn’t like them offering them for sale in the states even though they aren’t street legal and are not a direct competitor.

it will still do 80+ down the highway

Haha yeah it'll do 80+ but it's not exactly enjoyable at those speeds. The LJ is a lot of fun to drive, especially since it has a proper transmission, but the thing below is better in every other way. It'll cruise comfortably at 100 and still have oomf to spare, handles the road great, low NVH, goes everywhere the Jeep can, and does much better on trails and rough road than the Jeep.

go over most terrain despite not being lift 6" and have 40" tires on it!

Yeah just putting a basic lift and bigger tires on ruins them. You have to do a lot more work to the suspension to actually improve over the stock capabilities.

I have a 2005 TJ, daily driver, and an excellent 1990 YJ with only 73000 on it that I am about to sell.
I like the openness, and wind in my face, the turn radius and parking anywhere, compliments I get. The AC and top when I need it where I need it. An old man in a young mans auto.
Didn't buy it for muddying or rock crawling. I am proud to say that the wife and I have always bought American autos, and that is a bunch over the years.
MAGA

Came close to flipping my '73 CJ5 ravine climbing - but that was back when I was a fearless wild child.

Ah; back in 2022...
