1986 CJ-7. Bought it new late 1985, still have it, still runs great.

'88 Comanche in the avatar. Runs great and handles well, it is verry happy at 80. 4.0,5 speed (crappy Peugeot), but still working. Also '19 Grand 2wd. Both have been good to me, but I still miss the old '98 Grand that was wrecked when the trailer brakes went out.

That’s a sweet rig I haven’t seen super swampers in years.

read the section about Jeep dealers' letter to the CEO

Tesla Model Y Now Just a Hair from #1 Bestselling Model in the US, Toyota RAV4. Former #1 Ford F-150 is #3. Stellantis Plunges off Greed Cliff. EV Share Rises to 9.0% | Wolf Street

I mean he is right, no one wants to pay 80-100k for a Jeep. Sorry, but for that much I could buy 2 Tacomas or a 4runner + .5

I can't argue with that. They are stupid expensive, IMHO.

I bought a newer, 1/4 the milage Maserati for 2/3 what we paid for the Jeep. I suspect it might be about as reliable.

80-100k. Y'all talking about the grand Cherokee? Do regular "jeeps" run that high now?

A 4 door rubicon runs about 60-70ish. The 392s are in the 90s to just over 100k.

I put 33" Super Swamper IROK on my 1/2 ton 2002 Dodge Ram pickup once many years ago. They looked cool in the pictures and I had the bright idea that they would be a good fit for my truck. Probably one of the dumbest ideas I've ever done because they are terrible highway tires. They were so loud going down the road that it sounded like a propeller airplane. Plus they had crappy traction in the rain and would want to hydroplane really easy.


Excellent off road tires but not for daily drivering.

Can you still get a jeep air dropped to your doorstep?

some assembly required.

I’m sure for enough money somebody will throw a Jeep out of an airplane for you. Hell I bet you can find a current owner that paid over invoice during the covaids willing to let you throw theirs out for free just for the insurance payoff.

Pretty cool that you put your username on the hood. Is that for TGT meets? Ever run in to any random TGT members while traveling?

Not sure if serious....

Two door sport is low 30s and four door sport is low 40s. Rubi is 50+ looking at the local dealerships. But a 392 will run around 100.

The downside too is aluminum corrosion that's starting to show on the JL version, especially around the hinges. Having two dissimilar metals put together with only paint on top is starting to show issues. While some other brands have also run into aluminum corrosion issues, the JL Wrangler hinges are worse when it starts. My 2019 is okay so far but I've noticed some pitting around the inside bottom of one door. If all the hinges start, it's $15k-$20k to repair 4 doors, hood and tailgate.

So, you aren’t really “Young” ?

Prices of everything have started to fall, because DUH we're in a recession a bad one. My company has laid off 3 times this year. Almost 1/3 of the entire company is gone. There is rumors of 2 more before the end of the year.

Here is another "Cool Story Bro".

Franklin Mint used my CJ-7 to make their Die Cast Model. I have both soft and hardtops. For whatever reason, they could not resist chromeing up some of the black parts, my Jeep left factory with no chrome. Only Laredo models had Chrome.
