Sir, if you only look at what the Germans have done to the entire Jeep
line in the last few years you will understand. They are attempting
to milk the Jeep brand for every DOLLAR available. They have slapped
"Jeep" on every flimsy piece of crap that they can think of.

This year (2007) was the last straw when they not only redesigned the
Wrangler body to allow TWO WHEEL DRIVE versions but also replaced the
Indestructible Inline 6 with that "Throw Away" aluminum V-6. There
is no longer any reason to buy a new Jeep since they don't exist.

My answer to this is to just build myself a new CJ from all
aftermarket parts.
