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.

as it is nearing completion I can once again pay more attention to my Jeep.

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.

If it were actually a remake of the Scrambler, it would be great, but the
Scrambler was more of a small pickup and the TJ-U is simply a stretched TJ,
with 4-place seating. 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.
