[MEGOMONSTER]

Takes four passengers

[MEGOMONSTER]

Very nice in black and white

[MEGOMONSTER]

Easy to wash after wheeling

[MEGOMONSTER]

But their ANCAP rating is very low.
Didn't do very well in the crash test.

[mudnut]

I think Mego has found his niche as a Jeep salesman.

Now your talkin!..

The Rubicon's sound interesting. Dana 44's at both ends, twin lockers, sway bar disconnects. Not a diesel though.
How unreliable are the LK's? I have heard they improved the car a lot over the last model.

[MEGOMONSTER]

toooooooo right.

I go out 4 wheeling with 3 wranglers, and apart from being noisy on the inside, having no room for gear, and being a jeep, they are unstoppable in the bush ......quite impressive as a bush machine, but I am not sure if I could live with one as a daily driver

[Gecko17]

I had a TJ Wrangler... and if I didn't build a GQ/GU race wagon, I would build a TJ. The TJ has the most modifications available of any vehicle on the planet.

[jack]

Never owned a Jeep, BUT my daughter did. Biggest piece of crap I ever saw, my Subaru and XTrail would out perform it.
But each to their own, some people I know even own a Toymoto (sad but true).

What model of jeep though?

[Bigcol]

I had an old CJ5 about 20yrs ago
unstoppable
just lousy trying to drive daily - heap of crap
never will have another.................

[jack]

Don't get technical, it was a Jeep. But true, not a Wrangler.

[93patrol]

I took a couple of jeep wranglers for a drive before I ended up in a paj. Extremely vague steering and I didn't like the brake pedal that was half way up your leg. Felt like I was driving a boat on the road.

Plus my wife said it was a teenage girls car and I looked like a sad middle aged guy that was trying too hard. ?

[garett]

jeeps come with a light under the bonnet..... need i say more

The yanks love modifying Jeeps to extremes.

Apart from the JK ;)

I like the JK's, not to heavy, great weight distribution, great approach and departure angles.. petrols go like stink with a supercharger and so many bolt on upgrades..

If Jeep bring out their Maximum Performance JK (and last time i spoke with the guys in the U.S its looking more and more likely), Ill buy one. Dana 60's, F&R Electric Lockers, 37's - maybe on beadlocks, 4.88 gearing, 4" lift and 70:1 crawl ratio.. Id just drive around looking for police cars.. 'No Officer its not engineered' :)

I reckon (and i know this is sacrilege) if you got a 4 Door JK and a GU, fitted any BOLT ON accessory you could find to each one..JK would leave the GU behind in regards to off road capability.

Would it be as comfortable, carry/tow as much..not a hope and it probably would have some strange electrical trouble be fore too long..but its a Jeep Thing :)

I see what you did there. Haha

I actually learnt to Drive in a Jeep but it was the famous Willey's Jeep56251

I was only about six and had to stand up to Drive it.
I drove whilst Dad fed the Sheep from a Trailer.
Great little vehicle.

FYI in the States these are worth $1.50 US but you need to buy them 300 at a time, lol
They have literally millions of them,
Originally called G.P. GP later being jeep. for general entry level all purpose Vehicle or something like that.
Ford and Willeys battled out for the contract both looked very similar. Willeys/jeep won
making the 7 bar grill their trade mark. The rest is history. Ford used a 9 bar grill

Next time youre next to a jeep wrangle you'll notice the driver is sitting on the rear diff

Group buy anyone?

Buy it for $1.50, and then $1,000,000 on paper towel to clean up the oil it leaves behind.

Its just an automatic rust prevention system...bit like Landrover ;)

both landrover and the Willeys jeep have crossed Australia... how many other vehicles, let alone vehicles of that vintage and no mods can claim that...

Bob, that brings back memories. The standing on the seat and steering while Dad was feeding out the hay. My only job was not to hit a stump. :) I think it was in a 40 series toymota and then next I think we had a jeep (one of the bigger rounded shape ones)

[Gecko17]

Patrol, 1st to cross the Simmo

Naturally.

[threedogs]

Didnt they just have a re-enactment of the crossing not long ago with a completely refurbished G-60

[growler2058]

Correct and with the kids who did it the first time

[threedogs]

remember reading when given a choice of what vehicle to drive they chose the G-60 over the Y-62 or GU.
apparently it was brand new to drive, did they give it a 5 speed to make things easier

100% stock as a rock.
Got a feeling it was the actual vehicle as well but not 100% on that
