Jeep owners

[lite]

Wrangler? Considering it heavily, help me out.

I am working in the city so gas isn't that big of a deal, since I just drive 5 mins to the train station.

I mainly drive out to bike trails, the beach, and a near by gym. Maybe a long ride upstate twice a month or so.

I have practically no car repair knowledge.

I actually snortled. Jeeps are cool though. You'll have a great time. However, new jeeps are as difficult to fix as new cars are. Older jeeps are easier for a beginner to look some information up and make effective repairs.

How old are we talking?

Shrug, depends on your comfort level with mechanics and electronics. 80's 90's Jeeps were pretty simple but they kept adding more and more electronics that make it more difficult for the newbie mechanic to fix or learn.

CJ5 or CJ7 and they are simple to work on even for beginners. Very popular models for jeep enthusiasts.

I think land Rover / range rover is the way to go . I'm still undecided. . Either Rubicon or land /range rover is what I'm getting depending on rebates at the time.

My shitty 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee is still going strong after all this time.

You'll spend less repairing it than on something 5 years old I'm sure.

I've got a 1998 right hand drive Cherokee, old girl has 230,000 miles on it and it's only been in the shop once.

Do it...

Buddy of mine bought a 2014 Wrangler last year.

Manual, crank for windows, Soft Top....

He didn't buy the all electric one. Anyway, it's really nice and will take on any hill, wash or whatever without any issues.

There was a known 'ticking' noise that Jeep is aware of with the newest jeeps. If you report it to the manufacture they will have you take it to a dealership to get something replaced.

All I know and I hope this helps.

OH....I think it was around 27 grand.

[suppresso]

Yup go with a TJ and you'll never go back or regret it

[Scrubosaur]

Everyone I know that has owned a Jeep has had transmission problems within the first year. The last guy owned a 2014 Jeep Cherokee and within 1 year had to take the dealership to court to settle a lemon law case and won.

[dafier]

Well....I will add this.

My stepdad owned a 90s Cherokee. That thing was a load of crap. It broke down all the time and had multiple issues.

I would NEVER buy one of those. The Wranglers, I would buy and recommend to others.

[Southpaws]

Do it.

You might wanna check out JK-forum.com or Jkowners.com, literally any question you can think of has already been asked and answered on these sites.

Its a great hobby and you can learn a lot from trying things out and modifying your own jeep.

Before I owned mine I knew how to change oil/brakes and rotate tires that's about it. Over the years have learned alot and everything on my jeep I've done myself.
