[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Reliability has not been a problem for us. I have a 2001 and a 2016. My son has a 2005. My SIL has a 2018. My other SIL has two around 2010.

They’re fun cars. We off-road. We go to drive on beaches. They’re easy to clean. [/quote]

It is unfortunate, at least to me, that more Jeep owners never experience the fun of driving their Jeep off-road.  I won't pretend to be a rock crawler but have driven our jeep with friends on trails where cars can't go enough times to understand its capabilities and limitations. It is a lot of fun to do with a club, friends that can teach you how to use trecovery gear properly and avoid damaging the jeep or yourself.

It's like buying a Ferrari and never driving over 80mph  :lol:  [/quote]

This, 100%

I’ve owned 7 Jeeps. All either had more than 100,000 miles when I bought them (CJ-7, YJ, and XJ) or I put 100,000+ miles on them after buying them. I’ve used all seven of them off-road, some of them almost [i]exclusively[/i] off-road.

Not one of them ever failed to get me home from a trip - even after being damaged and in one case, flopped on it’s side, then pushed back onto the wheels again. Never broke down, never stranded me. In my experience, they’re the MOST reliable brand of vehicle I’ve ever owned.

But there’s a caveat to that reliability…. Preventive maintenance. If you don’t do it, if you don’t know to do basic maintenance to prevent problems or fix small issues before they cause a problem - then Jeeps aren’t for you.

But to own one and not use it off road, you’re missing THE best part of the vehicle. Why put up with the harshness and crudeness of a Jeep Wrangler and never experience what it’s designed to do best?

Makes no sense at all [/quote]
