Alright.

That doesn't change the fact that something was wrong. Things fan be wrong from the factory.

They don't all crab walk. And thats a sign that something is wrong, for example the trac bar was probably not tight or something.

Thats like saying all XJs suck cuz yours death wobbled once. Well, we all know that within factory spec they all track straight. Just like your Wrangler you got rid of.


I'm not picking a fight, I'm just pointing out fact, bause.

 

Oh for sure. I understand what you are saying. The ride was not the nail in the coffen for my TJ. I think i was still stuck on my YJ, and wanted that back. I went from a YJ to a TJ then back to a YJ. most of my friends have TJs, and they wheel awesome, but it just was not for me. I am weird i guess. Plus you may be right about something being wrong with the rear, but i didn't keep it long enough to look into it

 

I just traded my dd/autocross project Miata for a new project / dd

 

If you have the money and can afford it I'd get an LJ. Its got a longer wheelbase like your XJ so it'll ride even better plus I believe most if not all have a Dana 44 rear. Plus some more cargo space space, better stability etc. If I ever get a wrongler it will be a LJ

 

LJ only made 4 years? Good luck finding one.

 

Most of the ones I've seen we're wrecked lol but my freinds uncle built one up after the po drove it into a wall lol.... He's a mod on greatlake4x4 and his build thread is manbat

 

That's true they only made 25,000 of them and probably 30-40% aren't on the road anymore but none the less my neighbor got one with 40k miles for $15000

 

My dads tj is pretty loud in the cab but he's running M/ts lol

 

There is a "LJ" at a little dealership outside of base. Sticker is in around $16,000.

 

Purely my opinion but at least in the rust belt used 10+ year old Wranglers are just plain dangerous. The frames were made from little more than pot metal, and after a winter or two, resemble swiss cheese. The owners of said swiss cheese Wranglers still expect to get north of $8,000 for it too.

It must be a Jeep thing when you're driving it down the road and a hit a bump and the whole vehicle simply crumbles beneath you.

 

Houston vehicles don't have rust.

 

And they are any different from the 20+ year old XJs alot of us are driving...how?

The newest XJ is still 10+ years old...

 

X2

My Xj is rust free , But my 24 year old YJ is Completely rust free. In exception to a small hole on the p/a front fender. And I live in Utah where roads are heavily salted

 

Asking price, it seems that Wranglers are made of gold.

 

So them being cheaper makes them more safe..?

I'm not understanding what your getting at...
