Jeep
 

Doesn't seem to be an overall Jeep thread, so....


Let's start with this one:

Our SRT8 - taken at OBX fronting beach road

I spent most of last evening detailing my wife's Jeep Liberty to sell...she bought (and loves) a 2016 Subaru Outback limited.

I had one of these as my first SUV. It could haul a lot of stuff, and the previous owner had a nice custom cargo box in there. Kind of a PITA to remove when I wanted to carry big stuff, just like removing the back seat. That seat was heavy as hell and rather unwieldly. However, it served its purpose as an SUV.

My old school cj5 can't haul a lot of stuff but can do

Those old Wagoneers are skyrocketing in value as long as they are close to original, not rusted out.

Ah, the one-year-only Joop Wronglor. Very rare!

If I saw that and was tasked to fix it, I'd either source the original harness or install a Painless kit. Wouldn't even waste my time.......

Really nice restoration, but keeping the odd-fire V-6, not so much. Possibly a later Buick V-6 if you wanted to keep it close to its roots.

not so green

O7
1 quart of oil every 1500 miles since new --stealers say thats normal!!!

3.8 was a piss poor replacement for the 4 liter.

But the wife and hunting dogs like it.. So drive it til it dies.

My 87 Cherokee went 253 K -- the body rusted away --it still ran.
inline 6 with a 5 speed -two door --miss that thing.

my 93 YJ with a ford 8.8 rear end locked with an ARB unit, front has later TJ chromoly axle shafts to alleviate the vacuum 4WD engagement and a trutrac limited slip. lots of fun, less expensive than any of the 911's ive owned and just as much fun. i get out with a club ive joined up here once a month and from time to time friends with rigs that head up my mountain way. im even 911-less these days and have become a "jeep" guy.
