It’s a Jeep thing, only girls would understand…
Only teasing, that is a nice looking ride. -
Got my first one six years ago. It has different bumpers, a winch and some KCs on it now, but my newer pics aren’t at my fingertips at the moment. 90,000 miles and still going strong. Also a 2-door fan. Next one will be a 2-door Rubicon. Someday …

I have two right now. The SO drives the 08 Grand Cherokee diesel and I drive the Liberty diesel. I've owned lots. First one I owned was a 78 J20. It was a tank.

You guys mean to tell me you can drive these things and they aren't just driveway ornaments?
Kidding, they look cool but not practical for my family and lifestyle. -

I had a Grand Cherokee for a few years. Loved the performance (Hemi + Quadradrive), style, and ride but hated that important things started failing on it after three years. Ditched after five years but got a good trade in on it for something else. Too bad they discontinued the V8 option on the standard Grand Cherokee for this year. Dealers are regularly knocking $10K to $15K off sticker in my area to try and shift the overpriced V6 version now.
FWIW, I consider the Wrangler to be the soul of Jeep.
Here's a Wrangler with the 392 engine option for $133K (slight markup but they probably throw in a set of floor mats)...

I've had several over the last 30 years. Here are my two most recent ones.
McIntosh MA252 Integrated Amp, LUMIN D2 Network Music Player, Yamaha Aventage RX-A840 receiver, Emotiva XPA Gen3 2 channel amp, Polk LSiM 703 speakers. Oppo UDP-203 Blu-Ray player, Polk LSiM 705 speakers. Polk Signature S20 speakers. -
I’d really love to own a 2 door wrangler, but it would be a daily driver because I’m not the type to have a bonus car at this stage of life. And as a daily driver, I just don’t think it works unfortunately given that I’m driving 60 miles round trip to the office.Analog: MoFi MasterTracker > MoFi UltraDeck > Sutherland 20/20

I wonder what the biggest speaker is they can haul? For reference I brought my pair of 1.2tls home from several states away in the back of a Santa Fe. On 2 other speaker runs I had a single Bozak CG and a single khorn with it's top off stuffed in the back of the same Santa Fe. A pair of ADS 1530's also will fit it's tight but they will fit. 15 80lb bags of quickcrete was the most I did for weight. Surely the Jeep can easily do better in that category. 10' drip edges or 2 bys will also fit with the hatch closing. The santa fe left here a few years back as it's towing capacity wasn't enough for my new camper. I'm thinking a jeep should easily be able to tow 7000lbs+?

The Jeep Wagoneer will tow around 9,000lbs to 10,000lbs in some versions because it has a Ram truck-based chassis. The Grand Cherokee will do a bit above 7,000lbs depending on trim. Depends on engine output and brakes to a degree. The Wrangler isn't any more than 4,000lbs in some models. A soft off road suspension isn't really tuned for safely towing or carrying a lot of weight usually. The Rubicon 392 will tow 3,500lbs.
I put a pair of SDA-SRS 2.3TLS in my Grand Cherokee. -
I was at a Chrysler/Jeep dealer not long ago and hopped into a Rubicon on the floor for S&G. Mind, the last Jeep I was in was a buddies CJ7, which was a long time ago. I had no idea how upscale Jeep had become. No way I'd take one out and do what I used to do in my FJ40.Political Correctness'.........defined

As does pretty much everything consumable nowadays. The almighty dollar doesn't buy what it used to. -

My old granny would complain about inflation to me when I was 6.
I’m almost 68 now. Same story!!
