And I can't stand autos to jeep did make them in stick with a 5speed or a 4 but very few where made because this was the time the entire car industry started pushing the public towards auto in every car (more expensive to buy then stick) and I have been looking for a manual wj no luck yet (I've driven both off road tho a manual 1987 k-5 blazer and my auto jeep offroad I'd say auto is superior because you don't have to worry about sifting when you get in some bad situation it does have its advantage tho of being able to choose the gear you want for certain things)

I haven t had a jeep... Dissorder(just empty ever pocket) for a very long time recently the brakes started sqealling and squeaking and chirping and loss of breaking power and stoping distance
Now I offroad occasionally and have no radiator protection due to front bumper being ripped up from a stupid Pontiac and I went 4 days ago nothing wrong with it other then the breaks a d that's been going in for 2 weeks so no problems until about 300 this afternoon at 1100 everything all good nothing wrong right but at three I see this and check if it's me find out my new radiator that has less then 15000 miles sprung a leak in the higher pressure area of the radiator so I'm being held up on brakes now for this

Yea a nice 3 footer does its job and seeing as rich did a truck bed you could do 2 3 footers and make it be like most trucks
