Thinking about a jeep...

You're confusing draining with drying

 

I had an ice rink in mine not too long ago.

 

Good to know but a bit out of my price range. You do know I make living off of motorcycles, right?

 

In typical beeb fashion - thread highjack -

I looked at the 2008 and it is literally better than new...96k, Never off road, original owner, perfect maintenance, both tops, literally could eat off the engine. Drives....like a jeep. What am I looking at as a secondary vehicle, putting 7k miles a year or so on it? Will this go another 5-7 years with minimal maintenance?

No reason it won't. Most of the reliability "issues" with Jeeps are caused by that piece of organic material that connects the seat to the steering wheel. If it has not been bashed offroad it will be fine.

 

i took mine down to moab last night and did the top of the world trail.

word to the wise, if you're stock, don't try it. i needed every bit of my 2.5" lift, 35" tires and flat fenders... i still bounced off a few things..

 

...before landing on top of that Wiley Coyote precipice.

 

Awesome pic!

 

Wow, turbulence you have great pictures of your jeep and bikes!!!!!

 

thank you sir

 

amazing photo. In a few years, it'll be all condos and hotels

 

doubtful... us Utahans don't like outsiders. we give them dirty looks and don't serve them alcohol. people come but they don't stay.

Honestly, I've never understood the allure of Jeeps. They seem ridiculously overpriced and just about one of the ugliest things on 4 wheels unless they have double their value in mods, and even then they're homely.

Then you see pics like that........

 

hey now!

i think she's a sexy box on wheels!

 

Yea, I know. Flame away.

I fully understand how insanely capable they are, and you certainly can't deny just how much they've shaped the landscape of offroad vehicles for the last 75+ years.

If I had access to the vistas you do, I'd imagine it pretty easy for me to change my tune......

 

no flaming... different strokes for different folks. they certainly have their downsides.

 

I'm not a jeep person either, but I agree with Nemesis, if I lived near Moab I might change my mind.

In high school I had friends with 4WD trucks. In the winter you could be driving down a 2 lane road and see an empty farmers field without crops.....because nothing grows in Illinois in the winter, and off you went. But if you went very quick, stuff started breaking expensively and quickly.

Made me even like my dirt bikes, that much more.
