Your memory is horrible, and you can't even play off the "I don't know who your are". If this is the first time you seen my posts how do my posts (plural) **** you off. I also never said anything about mechanics not working on these. So, again, you can't even get your stories straight. Try looking back through your posts if your memory is that bad.
Oh...I think it was PurpleGroceryGetter or something like that, that might jog the memory. She was kicked off being a mod after I and other complained about here arbitrary banning and foul language in private posts.

If you are a ASE mechanic, how about checking out what the various mechanics are actually saying about the KLs. Have you even checked it out. Have you checked out other articles, etc.?

Right....it all came from the fact back when I made post talking about copyright violations. You and Purple we all upset because I point out that your thread was breaking the law by posting images without proper permissions. Maybe she turned on you too, but I remember it was all buddy, buddy then. You've trolled my posts since last year. If you don't know who I am, then perhaps you are just a negative person in need of some self evaluation.

[/QUOTE]Besides, only a fraction of XJ's had the closed cooling system. "How many hundred thousands to you think they made?"What makes you think the KL is going to be some godsend vehicle that won't have any quirks or annoyances? How the hell are you going to change your headlight fluid in one of those stupid things?[/QUOTE]
Yes, there are skunks hidden under the KL house somewhere. There always are, I just pointed at a few XJs that chapped me.
My apologies.
I'm hoping the KL is NOT a god sent vehicle, I have one more smart *** comment to make before THAT one takes me away.
That comment is.... that I'll change the "headlight fluid" the same way I washed my Mooney 201 (you know, the airplane with it's tail on backward) with it's first bucket of "prop-wash".
Sorry, born at night, just not last night.
Don't know if I've ever prouder to wear the name "nut job" as I am now.
I'm sorry gentlemen, I've met some very nice and I assume willing to be helpful people, that with your Jeep experience would be willing to give a honest & considered opinion on my generally naive questions. (it's been nearly twenty years since I've own a new one,
I've been exposed to those whom would have been at home in the old "FORD Vs CHEVY" wars of yesteryear. "Me, right & wrong!" Maybe if I'd been that cute of kid, my children would'n make people run and gag when they see them. (sarcasm, in case you miss it.)
I've broken up elementary school yard fights with more purpose than some I'm seeing here. Really guys, don't you have wives or teenaged children to fight with or have they already run away and the bartenders won't let you in the place anymore. (Yes, very tacky, but read you own comments and then chunk rocks at my house.)
Maybe a case or two of theses might help.
My apologies if I colored you with the wrong colored brush.

But I agree, if you just read part of one response in a ten-page thread it can be a little confusing and ridiculous.

Hmmmm... I don't know. Maybe because this thread has devolved into a piƨƨing contest between the old Cherokee and the new one? You're probably wondering how I know that. I know because I did read it all

My fault on the thread name.
I didn't even know to call it a KL then.
Now I know of all sorts of other names for it... just can't repeat them in somebody's presence...or my presence... in a dry forest.... without fire jumpers on standby....anywhere close to a fault zone....an active volcano...or sensitive geopolitical area.
So, New 2014 Cherokee it was.
Just proves the wisdom of hindsight again, and again, and again.
Happy Turkey Day all...
To those on the "the KL is the ugly, birth deformed, maiden aunt that the Pontiac Aztec family kept locked away from public view for fear of re-generating Frankensteinian mob violence" side
And to those "may be a nut job...the KL is growing on me...much better looking one-on-one...good looking interior design...hope Chrysler/Fiat caught the fact if "while in reverse, resting on the left buttock cheek, while rolling down the right rear passenger window, time as we know it stops."
