I was mud racing and I had thought the chain was slipping so I looked into it and it seem fine so I looked into to gears then axle gears and it just ended up that my 4wd high slips...

I saw some people wondering rather to buy a car or continue driving their jeep daily so I drew up a little comparitive analysis lol. Jeep with 1500 worth of new parts and 13 mpgs vs. a 3000 car that gets 30 mpgs. On 5000 in savings I could go 8.5 months in my Jeep and if I bought the car I could go 16. Im seriously considering the car now lol

i added 50 every three months for oil change etc on both its just hard to see in the pic. i figured with 3 grand you could get a pretty nice car that wouldnt need many parts or repairs (hopefully)
