    The Defender discontinued

    Sad, with this change 85% of the population who rely on LR D series trucks won't be able to afford the revamped D series rovers. Lots of small villages rely on these robust trucks, and with this reboot the " Green Oval " is no longer Global but Secular! Hopefully the Japanese won't follow...

    The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon versus the Land Rover Defender

    I love all the CJ Class trucks ( M88, FJ 40, etc ) again marketing plays a role with these to beauties! Jeep was/is marketed towards " Family " camping, fishing, errand running, so it need to fit a certain engineering parameters. Landy was/is marketed towards exploring, tooling around the...

    Reliability v ease of repairs?

    For me, both through modification. I owned an '90 YJ with the 258, one of the first mods I did was change out the AMC distributor for a Ford 300 ( 77-78 model years ) cap & rotor, then installed a Weber carb. Had that YJ for 16yrs and 225,527 on the ticker until I bought the '06 Unlimited. The...

    What Jeep do I want?

    First off, stay away from the rust belt and overly modified jeeps period! An unmolested Jeep should be in your plans. With a stocker you can modify it to your liking, nothing more irritating than righting the wrongs by the pervious owner! (also less costly) Most importantly, read up on Jeep...

    Tires: GoodYear Adventure with Kevlar vs. ******** Cepek Trail Country

    I've got a set of GY Adventure LT 31's since Oct. and so far I've gotten 19/20 mpg hwy/17/19 around town ( 4.88 r&p's w/31's, 42RLE Auto ), smooth ride, and there's been this storm here in New England ( Swanton,Vt. ) and I was out in it and the roads were not plowed with 2/3" of icy slush with...

    Overlanding Tires

    This ^ I've done the same with my 06 TJ-L, The GY Adventure AT are just what I need for an DD/two track roads Jeep. I was out with my Brother in Wheelock Vermont on the mountain rd. on a photo shoot and the tire gripped very well through virgin snow ( Class 4 roads w/ 4 to 5" of snow ) on...

    The Cherokee is back?

    The Fiat Cherokee will do well with the " Trendies " , Jeep Pods are in, Jeep Trucks are no more! Fiat has it's Ram Division making Trucks, so look for a " Jeep like 1/4 ton " in the future ( Maybe Scout/Bronco type ) from Ram???!

    Goodyear Wrangler All-Terrain Adventure

    I purchased 5 GY Adventure tires last Saturday, They balanced very well, and after a quick blast on I-89 they were very quite and smooth riding! Today I went on some dirt roads & two tracks, the Jeep went where I steered it! Very good traction through this rainy day, some mud & leaf slick areas...
