If anyone watches Jay Leno's Garage on CNBC, they did an episode with this modded JK in it. I'd take it even with the flowery interior. Cosmetic, I can has new? LMAO

 

All good things eventually come to an end just let it be. I love the jeep name and I always will but I'm never buying anything new from them ever. The only capable vehicle they produce these days is the JK and it's priced way to high for my blood. What really pisses me off though is how fiat is using the roots of the old jeeps to market their new ***** wagons. If you want to protest just don't buy their new jeeps. It's unfortunate how well they are doing though with this soccer mom transformation. It's actually going well for them.

 

Not thread related but saw this on FB. The last XJ engine ever made

 

 

Shortly after signing it and taking this picture, the 0331 head cracked and spewed fluid all over the floor.

 

Failure in attempts to please the XJ crowd. Sure it kindof resembles a boxy xj, but with full IFS and IRS and very limited aftermarket support. If i needed a city commuter, i would get one.

 

oh my god hahaha

 

I want a petition to bring back the fsj! I know the Easter safari chief concept was made but I want it in production so baddddd haha

 

The Commander seems to be going strong, but it is more tailored to predecess to Grand Chero i believe.

 

Huh? I thought they quit making the Commander years ago. I had one, didn't care for it, although it was 2wd.

 

Was made from 06-10 and its awd/4wd depending on your choice, even had the option for the Hemi. Seems to have a minor following.

 

I'm not understanding...it was made for 4 years, has been discontinued for nearly 6 years now. How is that "going strong"? I wasn't aware of the AWD, I know 2wd/4wd were available. And not sure how it could be a predessesor to the GC, which was around more than a decade before the Commander.

 

I get you there. Yeah, the biggest support in the after market has come from Rocky-Road. They even have a lift kit for the renegade, and all sorts of stuff for the patriot, with rock rails, and winch adapters, etc.

Support is there, and slowly growing, but it just isn't possible to have something as customizable as older cars with modern unibody cars.


For what it is, an awd with a small engine, IF you get the FDII its pretty capable off road. but yeah, its missing a low range. If it had an actually 2 speed transfer case, I think it would have had a much higher adoption rate, and acceptance.

 

The XJ will never come back it won't pass modern safety standards or cafe standard or emissions standards. The closest thing you'll get to a new XJ is a JKU

 

Yeah unfortunately but I'll still fantasize about it anyways haha
