[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I'm ONLY interested in the Wrangler lineup. We're only looking at convertible, stick shifts. I'm not sure why everyone is arguing about other SUVs. None of the others offer what we're looking for. Barely any SUVs even have a manual/stick shift.[/quote]

Yeah, it’s pretty much the only game in town for what you’re looking for. There literally is nothing else in it's class.

Do yourself a favor as a Wrangler owner. Go on a Jeep Jamboree trailride weekend. They have a dozen or so within 4-5 hours of DC every summer. Or join up with a local off-road club, and go off-roading. You’ll really get an appreciation for what the vehicle is capable of. Because if you own a Wrangler and never take it off-road, you really ARE missing the very best part of the vehicle. It’s like owning a Ferrari and never driving it spiritedly. You just miss out on what it was designed to do.

I’ve been on trails in my Jeep that were so difficult that other vehicles like Range Rovers couldn’t have even made it up the access road to get to the start of the trail. It will really astonish you the first time you see what it’s capable of.

Have fun.  :) [/quote]

Any suggestion of local groups?[/quote]

There are lots of local clubs in MD and NoVA. I used to run with a club in MD about 15 years ago. A web search will turn up several. The two I know of are Maryland Jeep Club and NoVA Jeepers. There are others, of course. We got really busy once we had kids, and that lifestyle change brought an end to our Jeeping for the time being. Tends to be a younger crowd with no kids and lots of disposable income, but there were several empty nesters in our club who were enjoying their new freedom as well.

Jeep Jamboree offers several trail rides in PA, WV, NC and other locations within a days drive of DC. These are guided trips where you use your own vehicle as part of a trail ride group with other people in their own vehicles, under the direction of a trail guide. The degree of difficulty is user-selectable from mild-to-wild, depending on what trail you pick. Some trails are very tame and suitable for people who are doing their first trip, and others are bordering on impossible to run, and are for hardcore enthusiasts who don’t mind getting stuck and possibly some vehicle damage. And everything in between those two extremes.

If you’ve never driven off road before, you’re best bet is to go on a club trip or a Jamboree. You’ll learn plenty that first time out. [/quote]

Thanks.  I was looking at the Jamboree but it was pricy.  Are they good for kids too?[/quote]
