Yea, I'll never understand the resale value of Wrangelers, great vehicles, but not THAT great.

 

I find XJ's are getting overpriced in my area.

Hell I am finding decent Yj's for 2500-3000 where. A decent XJ is 3000-5000

 

Its the fact that the doors are supposed to come off, it's a convertible and every high school kid, parent and grandparent want it.

 

Yea they seem to be going up here too, I'm starting to worry about mine begin stolen.

And I have an alarm and use the Club every night.

 

The club is a joke. And alarms can be hacked

A brick hacksaw and wire cutters your security is useless

 

This

 

I loved my 05wrangler 6speed hard an soft top never had a prob with the hard top resealling. an I got 20 mpg compared to my 18 mpg in my 2000 5spd xj.

 

Picked up my 3rd wrangler a few weeks ago

 

Looks nice!

 

is that an 89 islander?

 

Yep rust free tub and Frame. It lived in SoCal up until 2 years ago. The ps fender needs to be replaced ( battery acid ate it )

 

great find. nothing like that around here. lol. everything around that year here is swiss cheese.

 

I basically stole it lol. The Jeep was listed on the local classifieds for sale or trade for a fuel efficient car. But the 4wd didn't work and the jeep wouldn't idle so I knew off it was a vacuum issue. I called the guy told him about my Miata I built for autox and he wanted to see it we met up and he deal was sealed. I got the Miata for free off a friend and put maybe 1200 into it. But it did need a clutch cause it was starting to slip. Anyway I had the 4wd working and jeep idling I'm 10 minutes after I got home lol.

 

I'd say you've pulled a rabbit out of a hat if your Wrangler got better mileage than your XJ.

 

That poor guy, anyway, I bet if he'd taken it to a Jeep dealership they would have charged him an arm and a leg for that 10 minute fix.

(The smiley with the hat and mustache is supposed to be the evil service manager.)
