I can afford a TrailHawk but prefer not to own one.

Secondly, it was me and another Moderator who started this whole KL section.

I posted that originally because I got tired of hearing the banter.
BTW, I was service Manager at a Jeep dealer from 1980 through 1992, so I still naturally I have an interest in the product line.

 

I hate banter there is a mod her that does much more harm than good.

 

If you think cruiser does more harm than good you really need to look outside this small subsection of the forum. There are a great number of member that owe our fixes to cruiser and the rest of the advice that has grown from his tips.

 

I think he was talking about someone else lol

 

Who changed my quote???????? See Post 91 versus Post 92.

If some people can't handle facts and a reaction to "guesses" about my background, they need to go somewhere else.

 

True. This whole section was started because this IS CHEROKEE forum. We recognize ALL models of the Cherokee, not just one model. It was stated in the beginning that technology changes, there's nothing anyone of us can do about that. Not to mention not everyone who buys a Cherokee, regardless of year or model, takes it off-road. Some but it just because they love the brand or model.
As for badmouthing the staff or admins, that's a big red flag.

 

The red flag was waved and has been dealt with.

 

Dang, I can't believe folks would come to the KL section to flame the KL... If you're not a fan, don't look, it's that simple.

I actually, until recently, really didn't like the KL and felt Jeep made a mistake.... and then I went to the San Diego International Auto Show. They had a little indoor off road course set up in the Jeep section, and were running a JKUR, KL TH, and BU TH? (Renegade, which I also previously scoffed at).

The most fun looking part was the 30 degree tilt ramp, showing people how far the Jeep could be tilted without rolling. The JKUR hit the ramp and flexed enough to stay on all 4 tires the whole time. The KL and BU popped up on 2 tires as they got on to and off of the ramp, and just kept on chugging. The drivers let them teeter back and forth, braking to rock it harder and it actually just looked like a lot of fun! It was in that moment that I realized these vehicles are capable, and probably a hoot to drive off road! Definitely made me respect them more.

Anyway, yeah they are different, but wouldn't it be boring if auto makers only every made one type of vehicle?

 

And as for the guy who compared the KL to an Aztec? Come on dude! The KL has one of the sweetest shapes I have seen in a while. I constantly am getting positive comments on the street from looks alone. Something that drew me right to it.

 

it's your own opinion of your own vehicle that matters the most, others' doesn't count.

 

 

Very impressive, I am sure that there are not too many TrailHawks being used like that.

 

What make of roof rack is that?

 

Gobi

 

You're probably right. It's a Jeep so I treat it like a Jeep. Maybe a little nicer than the JK but in no way babied...
