I am by no means a newb when it comes to turning a wrench, I have a fair amount of experience and know how when it comes to automotive topics.
I am only nervous because it seems like every Jeep I look at has had a hard life. Either people treated them like they were some mythical beasts that could be beat on and never serviced because it is too tough to break, or they have used it for what Jeeps are known for and went off road, which wouldn't be a problem except that I see how poorly people drive on the road, so I can only imagine how they acted off of it.
I prefer the XJ over most of the other style of Jeeps..mainly because I can't have a Wrangler with 2 kids and two dogs, and anything newer has been tainted by Chrysler.
I should play the safe daddy role and get a boring Honda Pilot or something, but truth be told, I miss having something to wrench on and I have always wanted a Jeep that is capable off road if I were to ever find myself there. Plus, they look cool with a little lift and some knobby tires.
Can some of you Jeepers please console me and tell me everything will be okay? Or, in expected fashion, post borderline cruel meme's and comments?
Thanks in advance!
