Re: jeep sucks !! consumer-reports-worst-value

I've said it once and I'll say it again by quoting my own post from that other thread... - a leading consumer magazine

The kind of idiots that know that the 07 Wrangler that my neighbor has is unibody which is the closest comparison to my (and your) 07 FJ. Most jeep products are unibody.

This thread is about the Wrangler, so it really does not matter what "other" Jeep products have. You quote your neighbor has unibody Wrangler......It must be the only one they ever built. Go look under your neighbors Wrangler and this is what you will find unless he has a one of kind Wrangler.

This picture is is from 4 Wheel and Off road magazine.

Re: jeep sucks !! consumer-reports-worst-value

I like jeeps a lot especially the doors and roof came off i had one as a rental a few months ago and i liked it was the 2013 motor and the only thing i didn't like about it was it sucked gas down like crazy

it was a little noisy but very fun to drive,

i got the FJ because of the reliability , if jeeps had the same reliability of Toyota i would of jumped on the jeep,

You read that crap? You may also find Hitler's "Mein Kampf" and some of the works of Kim Il-sung interesting reads as well. But seriously, do you really think manly Sam Elliot would do Dodge Ram truck commercials if he thought Chrysler made crap cars? I think not, and most swinging dick red blooded American males think the same way. So what if they're assembled by drunks and druggies? So what if they arrive at the dealerships with mismatched fenders? It's better to buy one of those than it is to buy some weak IFS Fake Jeep where the sukiyaki drinking designers think Magma is an awesome color and heated mirrors are a dumb idea. At least Jeeps aren't assembled by some chicken-stuffed egg roll whose free time is spent surfing Anime porn instead of the real stuff.

You limp-wristed FJ fanboys need to grow up and understand the true meaning of American exceptionalism. That, or move to Japan seeing as how you like to support them more than God fearing, 2nd Amendment supporting American workers; drunks, druggies or otherwise.

i don't read it i just make sure Toyota fj cruiser is not on the list lol

Word!

You forgot to add the solid front axle which makes lifting cheaper and easier. Also you don't have to worry about expensive front end alignments.

I recently had a 2013 4 Door Wrangler as a rental for 8 days. Put close to 700 miles on it going from Denver out to Ridgway and back. I thought it handled very well on the highway at up to 80. No problems with the mountain passes. Did not try taking it off road but assume it can do that. That old reliability bug issue is what has me in the FJ too.
