I wouldnt buy one. They are slowly but surely ruining the Jeep brand in my opinion. The Compass. The Commander. Patriot. Liberty. Come on now. The Compass and Patriot are 2wd, with AWD optional. These arent Jeeps. The Compass is a joke. And dont get me started on that ugly 4door Wrangler. I wont buy a Jeep because of these. They completely go against what a Jeep stands for. Theres pretty much always been 2 Jeeps; the big Wagoneer, and a 2 door CJ/Wrangler. Thats it. And thats how I feel it should be. Yes, I know of the Scrambler that was extended wheelbase, but these on the new Wrangler platform are, in my opinion, bad ideas. Sorry for the rant.

They are going to have to do something what with the "Marketing Department's" pressure to produce car-based 4x4's that are no more capable off-road than a 2-wheel hand truck.

Time for "The New Jeep...??"

Seen a Jeep(wrangler) on ebay once that had some diesel eng stuffed in it,they wanted like 80 grand for it,some company that makes Jeep stuff guess it was there show model but since the new one's were out guess they were getting rid of it.

I can't see paying 80 grand for something I am going to beat up on trails and mountains,to me a Jeep is an off road toy.
