The problem is that they took what was a bare bones off-road vehicle with a pretty low entry price, added a million creature comforts, tripled the price, and completely changed the dynamic of the entire Jeep driver culture.


This!!
In 1986 I bought a '75 CJ-5 for $800. I drove it all of high school.
304, T-3 transmission, Dana rear, Spicer front, 35" super swamper TSL's, manifolds coming out forward of rear tires, no top, no doors, and a Rockford fosgate system. It never got washed and was covered in mud unless it rained. I could pop wheelies in the damn thing. It was a panty dropper back in the day. All girls like Jeeps.
Jeeps were known to break but easy as hell to fix for anyone with half a brain. I remember changing the transfer case out in the school parking lot after school one day.
You can't work on shite anymore.
