i liked my wrangler, but i dont really miss it. everything was weak in it. of course i had a tj the car-iest version of the wrangler. but in like 8 months i snapped two rears, burnt out the tranny, and all other crap. motor kept chugging tho. and off-roading was fun with all the work i did to it.



i preferred the hard top cause it was quieter, but definitely not gonna save a life, when you unbolt it the thing is a wobbly as a cube of ******* jello. and yea stock rollbars are bolted not welded.

bolted to the floorpan! not the frame

 

buy it for looks, not for life



err



owen

 

the cage is junk, change it or have it crack tested.

 

Better yet, just don't flip it! And come on, don't bust on the TJs that much...it's still a jeep. I've got the benz tranny in mine..not so sure about it though, the 5spd version I drove last summer while working for chrysler seemed smoother...

 

never noticed the difference, just the one missing gear. it's a smooth trans, just a pain going from 5th to 6th. constantly drop down to 4th. jeep should be fixed tomorrow, I already miss driving the thing, I have to drive my 94 f-150. that is just not fun to drive, and it's alot rougher ride. damn leaf spring rear suspension.

 

Tj's are nice, i bought one. but iof a wrangler is "nice" its not as ghood of a wrangler.



i'd still prefer a cj. and when i bought the tj i wanted a yj but couldnt find one that hadnt been rednecked to death.



kein.

 

My brother had a Yj, that thing kicked *** 2.5 4cyl, manual steering, no A/C(like a jeep should even have that option), pulled out all the carpeting and drain plugs.



I loved driving that thing, it pissed me off when he got rid of it for the same amount I offered him.

 

I too would love a CJ. I just love the new car feel.

 

that new car feel will quickly fade away when the car payment is not there and you have a nice 360 under the hood.
