I'll never be able to convince her. Her dad has had a "Toy TJ" for over a year now with not a single problem.

Mine is a daily driver. 2004 that I bought over 4 years ago with 32k miles on it. Not one issue in 4 years. I've basically changed the oil, bought new tires, put a battery in it, and replaced brake pads in that timeframe. I6 with the 5 speed manual. The only other money I've spent on it was some customization. I put a Tuffy console in it, replaced the CD player and added XM, replaced speakers, bought a different softtop for it, etc. All just cosmetics or features I wanted in it that it lacked. As long as it looks clean, runs well, and hasn't been abused, they make excellent daily drivers for short commutes. Now a long highway trip is another thing. If I could convince my wife to get one of our mothers to watch the kids for several days I'd love to take it down to the beach, but I don't think 4 hours on the Alabama interstates would be good for her, so we'd end up taking the van.
