My girlfriend and I want to take a sabbatical and go on an overlanding expidition across the West. This is mainly for health reasons, as we have extreme allergies, and people with our specific condition report that quality time in the clean dry air can have a profound healing effect. So we are...

I'm currently leaning towards a new Grand Cherokee Limited with the 3.6L, Trailer Tow Group IV, and Advanced Active Safety Group. I'm on the fence about the Off-Road Adventure II package. Dealer stock is bountiful around here and I have no problem finding any option combination in a color I like...

Hi All First time Jeep buyer. Looking at a 2014 WK Grand Cherokee Limited Diesel 4x4. Have taken a few on test drives and love everything about them. Main useage will be primarily highway driving and getting about town. It will go off road occasionally when we take the kids camping but nothing...

Hi Guys! Im in the market for a new Jeep and am stuck between a new Wrangler Unlimited or the new Grand Cherokee. I love the off road capability of the wrangler and how it drives (I LOVE the rough ride truck like feel) but I also love all the technology goodies that come with the Grand Cherokee...

Hi everyone, I am looking at buying a 2009 Wrangler X, the owner shows that it has been taken care of well, and maintained. My main question is that I drive about 15k miles a year and I want to make sure I know what I am getting in to. I don't plan on making any modifications, just keeping it...

Hey there, new to the forum and pretty new to Jeeps. My previous one was a 1999 WJ, which rotted out from under me because I knew nothing about Jeeps upon buying it. Anyway, I am looking for a daily driver that I can put a few inches and bigger tires under for light trails and such, nothing...

Hi, new here, considering a jeep purchase(first). I've always wanted a jeep but the 87 Jeep Cherokee 2.5L is a bit older than I ever imagined getting. I still have to check it with a mechanic before I purchase but I wanted to know 2 things: Are they reliable as daily drivers and whats the price...

I am looking to purchase either a low mileage 2005 WK with QD II or one of several cheaper and more readily available 2006s ( Laredos) with QT II and BTCS. From all the advice and videos I am confident QT II with BTCS will meet my needs for traction and off-road fishing trips. I am wondering if...

Hey Guys, I'm new here and need help deciding on a Jeep. I've had an obsession with Jeeps ever since I was a kid and now I'm in HS, so trying to get one. My budget is about $9k. I live in the city so the majority of Jeeps around here weren't abused. So my top choices are 97-99 XJ, TJ, or 2006...

I'm looking to change my 1996 GC Laredo (I6) for a 2011 model. :D I was leaning towards getting the Overland V6, but after reading about the air suspension (Quadra lift) reliability issues, I'm unsure. Since I planning on keeping this car for at least 7 years, I'm worried about the repair...

Here's a Craigslist link for an 84' I found in L.A. Is the 84' a decent year as far as dependability goes? :)http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/4226584196.html

Right guys, i'm 17 years old, and really looking into purchasing an XJ for my first car. For the most part i've been looking at 2.5 TD's because i want a manual, but i recently stumbled upon a '96 4.0. I first noticed it because i saw the photos were shot a stone toss away from my house, but...

1st post! To Bad it is a problem. I have a blown shock and need to replace all four on my 2001 TJ. I am curious to know if there are any better shocks for my 2.5" Rancho lift. I bought the Jeep with the lift on it. Ride quality isn't important. Reliability is.

I am in the market for a new vehicle. The (2010) Patriot seems to fit all of my requirements. I'm a little worried about the 4 cyl engine. I am trading in a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe AWD, 6 cyl that has been killing me in the repairs department. Is the Patriot known for any common problems in...

Hey guys I don't own a tj but I have a buddy who has one with the four popper in it. I was speaking to him he other day and he said it keeps breaking down on him mechanically. and therefore he is thinking about selling it off. He has already gone through an engine rebuild on it and the jeep...

Currently looking at getting either a used TJ or a newer model Wrangler. I know from a few friends that had TJs that they will run in excess of 2, 3, and even 400kmi. Since the AMC I6 engines with near god-like reliability / longevity has been replaced in recent models, I wanted to get...

We've decided to trade in our truck for an SUV, and have been looking at an '07 Jeep Commander. Can anyone comment on reliability? We've been having a lot of unresolvable issues with our current vehicle, and I'm looking to avoid getting into a similiar situation. High mileage is not a factor...

I prior post I made seems to have disappeared into cyberspace, so here it is again. Jeeps tend to rank low in terms of reliability. See, e.g., Best Affordable Compact SUVs - Best Cars & Trucks - U.S. News Rankings and Reviews But these ranking systems may not themselves be that reliable...
