BTW, since you brought up Honda's quality, next week Honda is buying back my

How do you think the Jeep survived all these years? How many companies
picked up the Jeep line along the way? Do you think that they all did it
because they wanted a third wheel? Hell no, they did it because the Jeep
is a good, no, the best all time 4x4 vehicle. Do you think that
companies in countries with lesser emissions laws still make and sell
and drive old ****** flat fender models because they like spending the
little bit of money they have on a vehicle that sucks?
> If you wanted a REAL offroad 4x4. Get a UNIMOG!
Why not get that 40's era work horse Jeep? There are plenty that are
readily available in very good condition, and for less than the price of
a new Sport Utility, you can get an aftermarket body, frame, and a turn-
key crate motor to put in it. 4.3 V6s are nice in flattys, 4.0s if your
a Ford guy, 4.0s for AMC. Most small block V8s will fit as well, but you
might want to beef up the axles for V8s. Look up Novak Adapters @ www.
novak-adapt.com or Advanced Adapters @ www.advancedadapters.com for
engine conversion kits. I'd bet you could buy a donor ****** Jeep, put a
crate motor in it, put on an aftermarket frame and body, have a shop do
all the labor, and it'll cost less than buying any brand new Sport
Utility Vehicle today, last twice as long, cost less to drive, and
increase in value each year instead of the other way around. And you
won't feel so bad when you rub the brush against the side of your tourag/
CRV/Highlander, or when you are down at your local Napa store, fighting
over the last CV joint like a bus load of fat women fighting over a
picture of Menudo autographed by Ricky Martin.
Ii just cannot start my Monday off with a thread about 'Why Jeeps Suck.'
Why do they suck? Because of who is driving them, that's why.

Re: Why Jeeps suck.
I'll put the quality of my '98 XJ up against a Rav or CRV any day, any time.
Since purchased new, I've spent less than $40 on non maintenance repairs.
Outstanding quality considering the amount of rigorous 4-wheeling it's
subjected to. Could you perhaps be spending too much time reading that
biased pro-Japanese rag "Consumer Reports"?
Why do you think Daimler Chrysler offers a 7/70 limited powertrain warranty
on their vehicles at no extra cost? Maybe because they're so confident
about the quality of their vehicles? Roadside Assistance is not a response
to poor quality as you infer. It's a value-added service and just one more
reason to buy a Jeep.
CRV and Rav's are car-based vehicles. Go ahead and follow me up the Sykes
Ridge 4WD trail in one of these 'girly man SUV's'. I've got a strong tow
strap and plenty of power to pull it out.
So the resale value/rate of depreciation is more favorable with a Toyota or
Honda. That's of little concern for most Jeep owners. I would not consider
ever selling my XJ. I fully agree with the point that the Rav or CRV will
have a better resale value "within a few months" after purchase. If I ever
made the big mistake of buying one of these vehicles, I'd sure as h*ll be
wanting to trade out of it ASAP!

Since purchased new, I've spent less than $40 on non maintenance repairs.
Outstanding quality considering the amount of rigorous 4-wheeling it's
subjected to. Could you perhaps be spending too much time reading that
biased pro-Japanese rag "Consumer Reports"?
Why do you think Daimler Chrysler offers a 7/70 limited powertrain warranty
on their vehicles at no extra cost? Maybe because they're so confident
about the quality of their vehicles? Roadside Assistance is not a response
to poor quality as you infer. It's a value-added service and just one more
reason to buy a Jeep.
CRV and Rav's are car-based vehicles. Go ahead and follow me up the Sykes
Ridge 4WD trail in one of these 'girly man SUV's'. I've got a strong tow
strap and plenty of power to pull it out.
So the resale value/rate of depreciation is more favorable with a Toyota or
Honda. That's of little concern for most Jeep owners. I would not consider
ever selling my XJ. I fully agree with the point that the Rav or CRV will
have a better resale value "within a few months" after purchase. If I ever
made the big mistake of buying one of these vehicles, I'd sure as h*ll be
wanting to trade out of it ASAP!

Re: Why Jeeps suck.
I'll put the quality of my '98 XJ up against a Rav or CRV any day, any time.
