I'm thinking about selling the `94 Mustang GT convertible and getting a Jeep Wrangler. I fiqure the Wrangler can be a convertible, a small 4x4 and it can pull a small utility trailer. Who here has a Wrangler and how do you like it?

 

I had a '01 Wrangler, 60th anniversery addition, and it was a good looking Jeep. I hated the damn thing. It was always in the shop because the CEL was always on. One time I was on I75 and the front turn signal assembly caught fire. I had nothing but trouble out of it. I heard that 99 and older models are pretty good though. After my Jeep experience I will never buy another chrysler again.

 

I use to work at a Jeep dealer. They have one of the worse reliability ratings in Consumer Reports for good reason.

Owning a Jeep is like owning a MG, if you like fixing problems that can never be fixed because of its design, then a Jeep is for you Electrical/switch things are the worse things in a Jeep. The very good point is they have awesome straight six motors, even CJs.

If you want to go to a "its a jeep thing" rally and off road with people then it is a good choice. I would not tow anything with a Jeep, just like I would not tow anything with a Bronco II.

I think the Sahara with a hardtop, full hard doors, and A/C is a good thing. If you install a top lift in your garage it is fairly simple and quick to convert to a bikini top and leave the hard doors on with the windows down.

They sell a steel toolbox to go behind the rear seats and it is handy to have.

 

best freind had one, full doors hard and soft top, he loved it, but had to trade it in cause he needed more space. he had the 4 bang auto... I do not suggust that, as it was very slow

 

If you get one, go the Rubicon edition - purely for the stronger axles you get...

But if it was me, I wouldn't touch one. Not just because of thier famed electrical issues Rebo mentioned, but because every man and his dog wheels a Jeep.

I would personally try and find a series 1 Bronco. But thats just me.
