What does Veeky Forums think about Jeeps? I never see any discussion about them

JK's are the 40 year old office mans modified car.
He'll never take it off road, but he's got a stinger, a winch, 35" tires, and spare gas cans on it.

CJ's are the trailer trash meth addicts wife's car.

YJ's are objectively the best Jeeps ever made

TJ's are alright.

Wranglers are pretty shit, if you ask me. The XJ isn't bad though.

If you want a compact off-roader, get a Tracker.

>"T-Thanks user..."

CJ-7 driver reporting in.

The new Jeeps have lost the essence of the originals. Nowadays they're like a watered down version of Land Rover, trying to be more luxury than sporty. The new Wrangler has 4-doors for some reason, and the front seats are covered by a legitimate roof. What the fuck.

The Chrysler era was when it started to get bad - the CJ-5/7 is the last real Jeep. It's rugged, it's simple, it's awesome. Pic related.

the liberty (KJ) SUCKS
>CD changer died
>transmission has delays
>front left locking hub exploded
>the window regulators died
the only thing good is that it turns on a dime and that the engine is great

Used to own a 1990 XJ, miss it every day

I have an '89 Comanche that I'm working on. Don't ever put yourself through this torture. It's a total shitbox. Every square inch of it needs work.

The new wrangler pickup looks neato though.

w-what are XJs?

No factory diesel w/stick. Guess I'll just swap out the 2.5l in my tj with something instead of getting a new one

in my limited experience, they're alright. only trouble my XJ's given me so far is a seized water pump and a shot o2 sensor.

It lost its way when AMC got bought out by Chrysler.

Texas? I think I've seen that one rolling around.
>what are XJs
Are you high

>be me

>type all of these into google images
>these are all pictures of the same vehicle.

>Are you high
...I was asking where XJs sit on the list, genius.

>What does Veeky Forums think about Jeeps?

they are the Matias of the 4x4 world
only girls and faglords drive them

remember barbie drives a jeep enough said

XJs are babby's first Jeep. Most guys I met when I was still wheeling regularly with properly built Wranglers started in XJs.

Also until the JKU came about it was the Jeep you bought if you "needed" 4 doors.

I have this bad boy in my garage, i drive it casually to get the stress off my job, really good for flooded areas too

I want a comanche so bad. like really bad. why are they shit boxes? is it the spaghetti engine bay with 9,000 wires and tubes and hoses going in every which way? I'm on the west coast so rust isn't a real issue. I know for most of its life it had the renix brain as well but is that a real issue?

>why are they shit boxes?
Mine is.
The engine bay harness is a fuckign rat trap. I see lots of exposed copper. There's a hole in the floor the size of my bicep. I've repainted every single piece of interior trim and replaced the entire dash. I bought it with a howling diff. Turn signal switch fucked off shortly after buying it. Found out I had left it sitting outside with a leaking rear window since september two months ago. Wipers were slow. Dome lights don't work. Tons of stuff kludged or missing. Speedo doesn't work and I don't know if the plastic gear is stripped or if they forgot the drive gear when they rebuilt the trans. Bone fucking stock 2WD model. Power nothing. The ancient fuck I bought it from left his weed under the horn button.

I am sure I'm forgetting another ten things.

Jesus.

Nice one. But could you please explain to me, why the front guard is formed like a medievil ram? What purpose does it have?

I'm buying this in a couple weeks. I'm super stoked, I'm finally getting my first jeep.
Owner is a totally awesome guy, he knows exactly what he's talking about. Super cool, super friendly, and it's making me sad to buy it off him cause I can tell it's so special to him. But I'm gonna take great care of her, hell, I'll even bring him along on a jeep trip when she's all ready to go.

For protection of the engine/whole front end of the car if things go wrong while off roading. It'll take the force, and stop you from dying usually.

My grandpa had a 96 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 with 300k miles on it. Nothing could stop that thing, it was a tank. He finally had to go into a retirement home and ended up selling it for 4K back in 2013. I really should've bought it, I really regret it.

This. I have a 94 Cherokee Sport that I've turned into a weekend rig, but I hate new jeeps and the people that drive them. The 4.0 is a fantastic engine, and with the exception of Chrysler fucking everything else up, they're great 4x4s. I've owned a 00 Cherokee, my current 94, and two Grand Cherokees (01 and 04) and they all treated me well.

One one hand, I hate them, but on the other hand, I sorta want a 4.0 I6 manual wrangler.

So it functions as a roll bar in the front? That's actually not a bad idea. Thanks for explaining!

I never got this.
I bought my first gen tacoma for 2k. Not a damn thing wing with it. Lil over 200k miles and has a new driveshaft and clutch.
People are just dumn enough not to haggle I guess

I don't know about newer models but for some reason the Willis gets my willy hard
are there any in the 20k range that aren't a pile of rust?

It's the most fun I've ever had owning one. The TJ has treated me so well, and there's so much aftermarket support

Yup, a front roll bar and a mount for a winch to pull you or someone else out of a sticky situation

My best buddy's dad has owned jeeps since high school. He now owns a 2016 rubicon 2 door. He said after years of driving a YJ, XJ, 3 TJ's, and one CJ5, he likes the comfort of it as a daily, but also likes how he can take it off road with his son and I. It's mostly set for off roading but he uses it as a daily
