My wife has owned/driven several Jeeps during her younger life. We bought a '98 Wrangler Sport, (aka a "TJ") shortly before we got married.

She recently bought a '21 Wrangler "JL" Unlimited (unlimited = 4-door) Sahara.
We decided that we didn't want to beat hers up, off road, so I also bought a '13 Wrangler "JK" Sport, that's a little more suited to that.
Both of them are manual trans.

We've only been on one really good off road excursion, but are looking forward to more.

Hers.


Mine.



I know a couple of members - or former members - of PFF, are also Jeep people.

I’m sharing a jeep liberty limited 4x4 with my girlfriend but happy to hear I’m not the only fiero addict driving a jeep.

I had a 1980 CJ-7 4-speed manual for a couple years. It came to me "well used" and needed a lot of work, only some of which I was able to do (or get done). I never did try using it on 4WD because I was warned the front hubs were bad. It also needed a new carb (or a good carb overhaul) which in my naivete scared me to no end. It had about 500 miles of vacuum lines thanks to its 1980-era emissions system. On the plus side, the 4-speed transmission was strong and shifted great.

It never turned me into a "Jeep guy" but apparently it wore off on my brother, who bought a TJ Wrangler brand-new (which he still has) and he's also owned two Grand Cherokees.

Wow! Missed all the replies.
And no... it doesn't have to be a Wrangler.

With that said, the gray one posted above was adopted by me, since SWMBO wanted a Rubicon.
I have had it regeared to 4.11s with e-lockers on both axles, and replaced the "fru-fru" wheels and tires.
This is what it looks like now.


This is Tammy's "ticket magnet" Rubicon.

As soon as I saw Popeye, I got the reference.

Yeah... I'm old, too.
