It’s a Wrangler. What do you expect?

The 4.0 liter engine mated with a five-speed manual makes for a great car to ride around town in. On the highway, it’s unstable, has janky handling, and gobbles fuel. 19 gallons isn’t enough. Granted, I have 33 inch tires , a 3 inch lift, and aftermarket front and rear bumpers.

This Jeep is a blast to drive

Easy to get around town in especially to park in tight spaces. Has the power to get threw the canyons and pass all those staring at the ocean on the PCH.

Will be used as a toad behind a motorhome

Would not be a comfortable vehicle for a long highway road trip, good for off road, and in town driving. Very rough ride as would be expected for a utility vehicle.

Only in a.jeep

Best purchase I've ever made. Check and double the frame b4 buying. If you can find one with a clean underside, go for it! Best offroad vehicle I've ever owned.

Most fun and reliable car I’ve had.

It is a great car to drive. Fun and easy to take care of. Live driving it and it is great for off-roading. It is a durable car.

The Jeep Wrangler I’ve been searching for

I love it. I’ve been searching for an older model Jeep Wrangler for a little over a year and am very happy with the one I found.

This car is the most reliable vehicle I have owne

This car is a fun and durable car great as someone’s first car. No issues it has a radio. It’s stock so if you want it as a project car you can start at the base.

Best car I’ve owned

I’ve had this car since i graduated air force boot camp in 2004 at 19 years old. This car has made me and has never let me down throughout ownership. It has had minor repairs but I’ve done most of the work myself with the help of youtube. Repairs included $40 alternator, $40 radiator, ball joints, heater core relay valve, oil pressure sensor, temperature sensor, thermostat and idler pulley with belt. I only use mobil 1, k&n air intake and align/rotate balance wheels annually. I will pass this car on to my kids and will enjoy every sunny day south padre island has to offer. Thanks to my Jeep for this beautiful life together and almost 20 years in 2024.

Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned

This vehicle was not only awesome, it was a way of life and every bit as fun as a motorcycle, ATV, or jetski. Spent every summer I had with it with the top down and more times than not with the doors off. <3 0|||||||0.
