Happy front end Friday. With all the "Angry" grilles, how about a derpy on?

Dear Jeep Marketing Team,

I’m so sorry. I know you had a great idea of making an edgy and fun commercial. (How much did you pay Jody Hill to direct this?!) But man, it missed for these reasons:

- stop with the real (fake) actors as real customers. It hurts how dumb you think we are?

- people don’t understand or care about horsepower numbers (it’s a bigger discussion as a true car enthusiast, but the person or family buying doesn’t care. It shouldn’t be any point on your list.)

- making a big deal, spitting out water, of a starting price of $66,000 - this is the biggest miss. This current cars legacy has always been shadowed by overpricing for where it sits in the market tier for family luxury SUV.

Bring back the Commander. The Wagoneer is done.

Stellantis Executives: stop medaling in marketing.

Buy a jeep they said…

And it was the best decision I’ve made in my life so far.

(Besides getting my dog)

Worth it?

Looking around for a TJ right now and this ones got an amazing tub and interior, everything seems to be in working condition. The frame rust scares me though. He said it looks like its already had some frame repairs. Am I walking into a future money pit on this one?

Would you replace this camshaft? 3.6 with 97k on the clock.

Obviously sarcasm. Damn lobe is nearly round. The kicker is that it ran great! Had the slightest miss only after it warmed up.

Thinking of getting rid of jeep

I have a '06 tj unlimited, and the catalytic converter is bad, rear struts, rear trailing arms, valve cover gaskets, rear gasket all bad. At this point the mechanic is quoting me 3k and I'm thinking I'd be better off getting rid of it but I don't have a clue what it would even be worth with everything that's wrong. Any ideas what a fair price to ask would be?

Lift size question.

  • I know how to measure to check thanks to google and ultimately will end up doing that. but I recently got this (07 jk Sahara) from a small dealer and he had no idea what size lift this is. any of yall that are educated on the matter have a guess?? Based on pics ive seen tryinng to google the set up. I think its a 3-3.5“ but then it looks like it might even be a 4” based on some results.
  • it’s got 285/70r17s on it. and they looked ok at first, but the more I stare at it the smaller they look. was definitely built out as a rock crawler based on what’s under it (nothings stock). dosnt have front fender liners In these pics and has high clearance fenders. so that might be miss leading on the lift size, making it look taller. hight appearance didn’t change much when I put inner fenders on it. but I’m not one of those people that takes picture of my ride all the time so don’t have updated pics. the more I stare at it the more feel like it needs 35s or a 285/75 at minimum. The most off-roading I do could be done in a stock truck, worst I do is ranch roads. (imagine a very shitty county road but on pvt lands). or a public access road to fish. so I’m not worried about losing travel, and this suckers has plenty of travel anyways. also not thinking bigger tires for any reason other than they might look better.
  • (edit) for clarification, Im not a jeep guy. This is The 3rd one I’ve had. First was another 07 years ago. And the 2nd was a 2018. Owning Both ended very sudden and very tragic, long story short the last one I owned I had an axle rod slide out of the jeep going down the highway. For yall that don’t know, you become a very outa balance 3 wheeler when that happens.
  • and it was stock and had 25k miles on it. I only bought this jeep because I can’t afford a decent truck of the same value to me. Turns out I can afford a decent jeep 🤣. it’s growing on me and I wanna like a jeep. Point is I only know what I’ve taught my self or googled. if I say something in reply it’s not to be a smart aSS it’s simply to relay as much detail as I can to reach the goal. 👍🏼

ideas? thanks

Got my hands on a factory PH1 magenta pearl 96, 2wd 4 door. Pretty straight, has some rust under the luggage strips on the roof. Gonna try to get this yellow paint off, it’s flaking under my nail so I have high hopes. Runs on brake clean, needs a new fuel tank and pump. Anyone else in here have one?

Advice needed

I’m currently driving my Brother’s 2018 Sahara JK while he is recovering from heart surgery. Yesterday I was getting up to speed on the highway when it started slowing down while I was still accelerating. A red lightening bolt appeared just above the temperature gauge. I pulled over, put it in park, waited a few minutes and started going again. The lightening bolt went out and everything was fine again. Any ideas what might be happening? Do I need to have the transmission filters replaced? That’s what came to mind first.

looking at a 2018 Jeep Wrangler with 80k miles for $22k… just found out it was a rental before

Been considering a 2018 Jeep Wrangler, around 80k miles, priced at $22k. Car looks clean, drives fine, nothing obvious during the test drive.

Only thing is I just checked the history and it shows it was a rental for the first part of its life. After that it had one private owner.

Now I’m stuck on whether that’s a dealbreaker or not. I’ve heard rentals are maintained regularly, but also that people drive them pretty hard, especially something like a Wrangler.

Rest of the car seems fine which is why I’m still considering it, but I don’t want to ignore something that could come back later.

Would you avoid an ex-rental Wrangler completely or is it not as big of a deal as people make it out to be
