Jeep Unlimited
Hey folks...been off list for a while focusing on my other automotive hobby,
as it is nearing completion I can once again pay more attention to my Jeep. My apologies if this topic has already been through the wringer...but...any reaction to the new Jeep Unlimited? Should I just go back a few weeks on posts before I embarass myself further..lol. Jerry S. 99 TJ ..needs new shoes...and more mud time 87 Porsche 944...in the final stages of a tranplant |
Re: Jeep Unlimited
I think it's a good addition and is similar to the old Jeep Scrambler. The
longer wheelbase has a lot of advantages over a SWB Jeep, especially in steep climbs and the ability to carry more camping gear. I know I'm always feeling at a loss for enough space to carry enough gear for my son and I on longer campouts in my TJ.

I love the way the rear seat fold & tumble is spring-loaded, don't know if that's available on current TJ's but it's neat how you pul one lever at the the seat just pops out of the way. One major disadvantage is that the soft top on a TJ-U is a big compromise...you can only fold back the portion over the front seats, or else remove it completely...it doesn't fold down all the way like a standard TJ. * * * Matt Macchiarolo www.townpeddler.com www.wolverine4wd.org http://wolverine4wd.org/rigs/macchiarolo_ml.html |
