What would the Wagoneer's intention be? I can't think of what the market is for Land Rover aside from rappers and football stars.

Heck, just this evening I overheard a couple of people in my building talking about the best place in the city to get their Range Rovers serviced. There's a market for luxury SUVs, absolutely.

I love luxury SUVs, I just don't like the people who buy them.

The only place to buy a Land Rover here is deep in the city, so I don't see many. Did see a G-Wagon though

Welcome to all modern cars. Even a Honda Civic starts at $18k and goes up from there fast.

I'd look at the TJ era Wranglers, they're kinda in the sweet spot of price and performance/reliability.

Alright Jeep thread, I used to own an XJ (rip, sold for parts), but I'm getting back into the JEEP THING

I have a maximum budget of 7K, I want a car I can bounce offroad, but if I need to take it a few miles (Let's say, 50-100), should I go Cherokee, early 90's Wrangler, or other?

Would I be dumb for buying a ZJ with 200K milage on the odometer. It has the 4.0L engine, it appears to have no rust but has some rocker panel damage and a cracked rear bumper.

So I picked up a jeep finally.

2002 TJ Sport 5 sp standard with 177000km (about 110K miles) on it. $3000 CAD. Has some rust blisters on the fenders but honestly the best shape one I found in my price range. Hard and soft top included, also running boards (not attached obviously). Needs brake hard lines redone for safety inspection. I'm going to pick up the Omix Ada hard line kit from Amazon and hopefully have it insured and on the road sometime in the next week. :)


You found that for 2200 USD?

When you guys take a gun at a steep hill with snow, what do you guys use? My friend says 3rd Gear 4 HI is the best if you get speed up. (XJ)

Im always in 4lo if its anything that I'm worried about getting over, or anything steep at all. That'll probably change when I get the dumb axles regeared though...

He said when he was in 4LO he wasn't getting enough power and when he was going up the hill it just spun spun spun on the ice, 4HI was what got it going. I'm still new to offroading! :)

That's backwards. The gearing in 4LO provides more (effective) power, which apparently just spun the wheels (probably due to poor throttle control). The taller gearing in 4HI reduced the power to the point that his throttle control wasn't an issue.

It's not to say it's invalid, as it got up the hill, but it's harder on the drivetrain, so I'd personally still go for 4LO with better throttle control.

I can't drive an XJ worth a drat, that thing has the touchiest pedal ever. Is that just me or does it genuinely have a touchy pedal?

I don't think so, but my other car has an oversized V8, so I may not be the best judge.

Personally, I think they're much more responsive than newer cars, which is a good thing, but could lead to the feeling of them being "touchy". I can very easily hit and hold any RPM in neutral or any gear that will reach it in an XJ in 4LO.

The car I drive in the summer is an MGB which require insane amounts of go pedal to get moving

So basically, get a stock Wrangler Sport if you want to play dress up, and go for a Wrangler Rubicon if you want something that is straight get up and go, with the Sahara being simple luxury and the other trim levels being random?

Also what does Sport S mean?
