Ehhh.... Thats not a real Jeep IMO. They dropped the best motor of all time (straight 6) and put that 3.8L from the mini vans in that thing.
:-/

I prefer the TJ's in 6speed best. Be careful not to get that thing too deep into water. Ive seen what happens.

From when I worked at Jeep/Dodge they were always the most solid ones.
Only problem them came in for is front end shakes, in our shop it was called "the shake of death." And holy hell is it scary. It feels like loose front wheels, but 10times worse. I had to feel the shake to pass a test. WOW!

Not so much "the shake of death" but random vibrations. I dont know what they expected, its a Wrangler. Its not a BMW.

Hey man, I gotta admit, at least you're driving it OFF ROAD, actually using the vehicle for its more or less suggested purpose.

Too many people drive these kind of vehicles with no real purpose.. as though putting themselves in a more risky vehicle is a rad idea when they could have gotten something way better anyways (like a Fit :P)

Blah, that's total flamebait isn't it... oh well... Just glad to see a Jeep actually being driven offroad for once.

I can say it would be fun to drive a jeep off road but I would not want to drive it as a dd. Love my fit and will be holding onto it for a long time.

Stupid decision trading the Fit is a bad idea . Fit save your pocket $$$. I rather save money and buy 2nd car or a House.

Remember in 4 yrs Gas will go up to $10 per gallon!

Oh well! its your money... So I don't care. Bye! :wavey:

lol!

I did the exact opposite, I traded out my beloved Cherokee for the Fit.

Before you depart, what kind of rims are you running on that? I don't recognize them.

Cya YazzFlute, no doubt you will enjoy life in the Jeep family!
