If Kia would just change their logo their sales would probably skyrocket across all models.

Hyundai, I mean Genesis, thought the same thing.

Most of the fleet. I can never get the whole family together for a photo.

quote:

4 door jeeps are soccer mom SUV’s


I concur



I’ve owned every model of Jeep CJ(5+)/Wrangler (multiple on some models). My wife’s new truck is by far my favorite. Each model has improved upon the tech of the previous model. This truck comes standard with longer control arms than any of the previous models and it still has solid axles unlike your f150’s and Silverados. It’s also coil sprung on all 4 corners and comes with Dana 44’s front and rear. Buy a sport with max tow and you get 4:10 gears from the factory.

I hear a lot of people (claimed Jeep purists) claim the TJ or TJU (LJ) was the last “real” Jeep. That’s a fricking stupid statement. U- channel control arms, Y-link steering and shitty steering gear support is a joke.

“Leaf sprung jeeps were the last real jeeps.” Owned ‘em, sold ‘em. Nostalgia will fool you every time. I have a fake tooth that replaced the one knocked out by a hard bounce in one of my CJ’s.

To whoever called Jeep owners white trash. Our club (my friends) is full people from all walks of life and different careers. First responders, military and ex-military, police (SD, ST and local police), business owners/managers, doctors, engineers, teachers, and even a lawyer or two. We do a lot for our community with both work and monetary donations, as well as go on wheeling trips. Stupid mother-fricking generalizations are fricking stupid.

I can’t decide if I want my next car to be a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk or a Range Rover Sport

I’m leaning Range Rover

Saw a sweet red rubicon at the local dealer the other day. I may jump the gun and buy one sooner than I was planning.

I love Jeeps, I've always wanted one but when presented with a second vehicle I had better options.

Would never own one as my only vehicle, still appreciate them though.

Odd I know, don't know how else to explain it.

I test drove one today - twice. I really like it. I’ve always wanted a Jeep but can’t live without having a truck bed.

I also really liked the Dodge rebel. That is a nice vehicle.

But something keeps bringing me back to the Jeep gladiator. I think I may buy one soon.

I just worry about down sizing because I’ve driven the mega cab tundra the last 5 years.

There are more on the road today than at any other point.


Unless you mean it from a hipster standpoint, such as 'Jeeps are too popular now, they suck'

95% of four door jeeps are stupid. Yours looks pretty cool though

Probably the Range Rover loaner. Not sure yet.

I still think the TJ is my favorite Jeep. Should have never sold it (true about ever one I have owned). Loved the size, straight 6, ease of upgrades.

Scared to go look at the trucks because my JK might not come back with me. So much of my blood left on that thing.

Overall the new Range Rovers are junk and spend a lot of time in the shop. I wouldn't get one but good luck.

I haven’t heard that but I’ll have to check it out. Appreciate the heads up.

Any experience with Grand Cherokees?

My neighbor just bought a gladiator. He is the biggest d-bag. He thinks it’s the greatest vehicle every made. I swear he stands outside next to it cause he thinks people want to see it

I have a 2 door as my only vehicle. I’ve taken it to Dallas, Houston, and Destin and the only problem is space because my girlfriend doesn’t pack light. It’s no doubt the most fun I have ever had driving a vehicle. If I had kids there’s no way it would work. I will probably just keep it as a toy and buy a truck when the time comes.

I would have probably waited to see what the new Bronco looks like before purchasing the gladiator.
