seems like a lot of us have jeeps as a primary driver
 

Interesting note-

I've nearly always driven a jeep as my primary daily driver, and noticed recently that it looks like many of others on this board do the same!

Just picked up a new 2013 wrangler sahara, 4 door-and love it. Of course totally different from the 911, but in some ways, also quirky like the Porsche.

I've driven Jeeps for years as daily drivers. Now I'm just down to two and they are mostly for recreation or part time use. I did daily drive the '95 Wrangler daily this list winter for a couple months while I repaired the transmission in the 911. Here's some pics of past and current Jeeps:

My '95. I've owned it since new and have performed all modifications to it. It just past 100K miles!

My '71 J2000 Gladiator. I've owned it since '02. It was a neglected beater I bought for $600. It now sports a well built AMC 360 that I built, Dodge disc braked front D44 axle, lift using ScoutII springs, and a bunch of other goodies!

This was my '88 Grand Wagoneer. It was a bone stock 100K mile truck when I bought it. I did the lift, wheels and tires, early grill and some bolt on engine mods. It was my daily driver for about three years. Sold it when I moved back to AZ and had to deal with emissions:(

I've also had a '56 Willys Wagon, a '47 & '48 Willys pickup, and a '95 Jeep Grand Cherrokee that my wife used to DD.

I love Jeeps. I'd happily daily drive a Rubicon Unlimited but the things hold their value incredibly well.

Always wanted a Jeep and bought my first one three months ago.
I thought the "slippery slope" was bad with the Porsche.....there is a million aftermarket goodies to spend money on for the Jeep!!!

My wife's daily is a 2008 Wrangler Sahara. It is our fourth jeep and she will drive nothing else.

This speaks to me...I gotta stop clicking on this stuff as anything nearby has been consumed by salt.:(

I've been daily driving Jeeps since my 1988 Comanche! Had 3 Cherokees, 1 YJ and 5 TJ's... still enjoying my '05 Unlimited daily. :)

I'm transitioning to this as my DD from my 993 (which I'll be selling):

I've been driving it/restoring it/ mildly modding it since January.

Josh, that Grand Wagoneer is gorgeous! Those are going for big $$ nowadays.

I've come close to buying a Jeep a handful of times, closest was three years ago.

I still have a hankering, currently want one of those Jeep Brute pick-ups.

There is a Rubicon sitting in my garage. 4th Jeep I've had. A Cherokee and three Wranglers.

I bought my Jeep new in 1997. It has been a work in progress since.

Jeep Gladiators are awesome.

My daily driver, almost a jeep and it runs and runs. First engine, never touched, first transmission. 1982, almost a million miles!

I really need to just avoid these threads, it gives me way too many ideas.

I've had a few, and have been using Grand Cherokees as daily drivers for about 5 years now. I've been tempted to lift them , but I always talk myself out of it, and put my effort into the p cars instead.
They are super handy for a guy like me. They go anywhere in the snow, I can put the family in one, and drive to the beach if I want, I can fill them with tools for rental house work, and I have hauled engines, rear axles, and all sorts of auto parts/supplies in them
Here is my last shop beater. Sold it for $900.00 with 285,000 miles on the clock. 3 transmissions, but the original 318 ran like a swiss watch, and never even had a valve cover removed. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1364643219.jpg
It was starting to get really rusty, and the interior was gross, and all torn up, so , I replaced it with this one, another shop beater, but this one is a little nicer. It has 175 k on the clock. It was my ex employees , and it was his pride and joy when he bought it. I had to put new bearings in the front diff, a few front end parts, and a rad, but this one runs real nice as well. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1364643552.jpg
I also briefly had a real nice 99 Grand Cherokee that we used as a family car, but I sold it off, it was too nice, I prefer beaters.
On my bucket list, would be to build a cj, wrangler, or rubicon. someday.....

I had one about twenty years ago and DD'd it, I loved that thing.
Here is a pic of when I first got it. 79 5, it ended up sitting on 35's, lived in the low grounds of the James River and always had fishing poles in it.

Interesting reading. My neighbor is a Ford and Chrysler dealer. Says people that are loyal to Jeep will rarely consider a Chrysler, yet the same company and parts bin.

I've heard that Chrysler is trying to move the brand up-market to become more Range Rover like and get away from the utilitarian aspect. I hope that's not true.
I quess there's more money in plush leather and Nav systems.

They are going to have a few diesel jeeps soon right?

I've had three. Two CJ 7's and a Cherokee. Fun rigs for sure. My sis snatched the family 85 jeep Scrambler from my parents. I worked on that thing and kept it up. Whatever. I'm not telling her where I hid the box of smog parts.
