it would need such low gears with a fiat motor and any tires bigger than 31 inches, you'd have to run like 4.88:1 ratios in the axles to do any on road driving
a little fiat motor? that inline 6 they use is a great off road motor, plenty of torque. you would need such low gears to be able to crawl with a small fiat motor
Now that y'all mention it, I don't understand why they haven't produced a poor man's jeep. The price for new ones are atrocious, though their resale value stays mighty high. Used to have a 50's Willis back at the family ranch. Awesome bulletproof little guy.
Carbureted? Not a chance....but a CJ2 or CJ5 inspired small body-on-frame Jeep using the 1.4 direct injected Fiat motor would be fantastic
We have had many jeeps. 2 44's. A 1945 and my favorite was the 46. 3 on the floor with a 3 inch lift. So much fun to drive and a blast to work on.
Too bad they have got away from these. New ones are nice and safe, don't take this the wrong way, but severely over priced for what materials that are used. They need a budget wrangler starting at 12k. No frills.
My dads friend had one of these, he bought it used, they would pull trees out with it
They're so fun to drive in. No doors no seatbelts no windscreen and they're actually surprisingly fast

You know nothing will stop you when your jeep even carries a motorcycle In it's grill to Get you were ever the heck feel like going lol B) awesome
Sweet! Imagine if BMW put a BMW sports bike on the front of the 6 series lol
We have one of these on the farm. '67 Jeep with the V6. Needs a fuel pump. That's all.
Description: But as emissions and safety regulations drove up the price of the vehicle, Chrysler recognized that fewer and fewer would be able to afford them as second vehicles, and changes would be needed to make...

definitely need cup holders, where else am I gonna put my beer when we're wheeling?
I've never heard cupholders referred to as "luxury appointments", though I guess in a Jeep they were.
Description: Besides, the Wrangler is still more of a dedicated off-roader than nearly all of the competition anyway. There have been a number of variations of the CJ/Wrangler over the years, such as the Scram...

My friend actually has a Scrambler. It's a rust bucket, but unique none the less.
The differentials they come with scare me, only because one broke on me rock crawlimg
My brothers first car was and still is his 1994 jeep grand cherokee Laredo has 255xxx miles on it and climbing and clean as a whistle no rust at all bought it for 500 bucks nothing ever majorly wrong with it.. best purchase ever
yeah I have that combo under my ford ranger and I know the d35 is weak but iv taken it on a lotttttt more than fire roads and never had a problem
Dana 30/35 is a weak combo. Especially stock non HD axles. Good for fire road cruising but not much more or... SNAP!!!
if you were talking about what I said, I was referring to width... a Dana 44 is generally wider than a Dana 30
Longer wheelbase is actually better in a lot of situations. I found that out last weekend. TJs are great but I'll take 4 doors and more room any day
I did a Dana 30/35 SAS on my '84 ford ranger and iv never had a complaint with the axles, if I went any bigger like up to a d44 it woulnt fit through a lotta tight spaces lol although I guess you could narrow them
If you want a 2 door. The TJ is the way to go. The JK is actually a lot wider. Some even consider it the new "full size" off roader.
TJ Wrangler > JK Wrangler. They just need to get away from the Dana 30/35 axles. HP Dana 44 should be standard.
And there are probubly 10x as many 2000 Honda civics than 1998 jeep wranglers
wranglers hold their value anywhere, in tx my 00 civic $2500, the 98 wrangler I looked at $5500, my cousin in il looked at a 99 that was $6000
I ALWAYS see theses ugly ass wheels to but the jeep looks good would love to have one

I like the 4.0L, my buddy has a cj7 with one and it does great, cept he bounced the front end kinda bad last time we were wheeling and broke the rear crank seal somehow, filled the bell housing with motor oil and over heated real bad
No Tom, that's hardly what I want...if I did, I'd find a 3- speed 308 from 1980. The 6 speeds in the manual isn't the problem, it's the anemic 3.8 in 07-11 Wranglers....and the 4 speed Auto that most were paired with
super chargers are great off road. turbos (turbo diesel) are so unresponsive due to turbo lag. plus super chargers save on weight. v8s are cool as hell but then the jeep becomes even more front heavy.
RIPP Superchargers are the most common and apparently they do pretty well. There's dyno vids on YT of em. A LOT cheaper than doing a Hemi swap.
I think a factory Hemi swap is around 20k. My father in law looked into it for his 08 Rubi. A lot of people just get superchargers instead.
There are several companies who offer the hemi conversions, too. But, I've read they are very, very expensive (for a jeep) like 60-80k
Ehhhh. That 3.8L I have in mine is a turd. Has plenty of torque and is nice to have offroad but daily driving it gets tedious. The new Pentastar is amazing though.
there's a few on eBay with them already. and a guy was selling one with a vette engine
Check out Mopar's Wrangler Apache concept in Motortrends jeep article... Motortrend said a 6.4L hemi conversion kits will be available with the auto version meow and the manual version later this year... 470hp 470ft/lb Ford Raptor say what?? Lol!
I guess I'm one of those few who think the should offer the 5.7l "HEMI" in the wrangler... Lol
you can fold the windshields on the tj and jk. jk's are a real pain. tj's you just have to take out the roll bar stringers.
I like the yj. this was Chrysler's 1st attempt at a "street jeep" and I have to say they did a good job. the looks are way way out dated but it looked good when it came out.
I don't like this generation all, especially when people add the chrome front
The European license plate doesn't mean anything, you can order them online to slap onto your car. I have one on the front of mine.

the longer wheelbase really helps in a lot of places, and they look sick as desert racers haha
@blizzy land rovers do this stuff all the time. Why even bring it up? They are both amazing vehicles. There's a reason you see them all over Africa. while your bringing up amazing off roaders dont forget mercedes UNIMOG ; ) see jeep isn't alone..
lol I out do my friends jeep in my '84 ranger v6..... i did a Dana 30 conversion from a jeep on it but still lol
again, BOWLER WILD-FRICKIN-CAT would do this at 100 MPH, and instead of just driving on the rocks, it would pulverize them into flatness
@Matt shut up no one cares about your biased opinion when it comes to American cars so keep it to yourself.
( not saying this isnt a good off road vehicle at all) I just find that kinda funny
Land rover could probubly do that... And I have friends wit one of these, got it stuck in mud lol... My dad had to come and pull them out, in his fricken Santa fe... It didn't even get stuck an he had to go pretty far in da mud to get to them lol
I wish the grand Cherokee was as bullet proof, I had a 98 about ten years ago and nothing but problems the whole time I had it. It sucked so muck cause I liked the jeep a lot
I'd really like to try one of these off road, I went on an off road tour with one of these too.
You guys have no idea. I beat the shit out of mine last weekend and didn't break one thing. These things are incredibly capable stock. Sway bar disconnects are one of the best things you can buy for these.
Only one I liked besides the CJ. I have too many of the others running around my town to find a stock one unique anymore...
I love it! You can do this to your TJ as well as a normal 2 door JK by using the "brute" kit. Unfortunately its about a 10k conversion...
That is awesome! I really want to do the JK-8 pickup conversion on my wrangler
of all the upgrades they did they forgot to include brake upgrades......
and you don't know a damn thing about offroading or even on roading for that matter, cause a samurai wasn't made to take corners at high speed obviously, it was made to preform off road, which it does and I have personaly seen samurais go places that no wrangler could ever fit
a Chris, you clearly do not own an OHV and clearly don't know what "staging" means
@Ty you clearly haven't seen the episode of top gear when they test the world's most dangerous cars. The samurai was there
the Bowler was in the Dakar, but in europe, you could actually buy them for street use
@Chris, samurais actually do very well....
The bowler wasent street legal. It's a Dakar rally car lol. Not a vehicle sold to the public.
@Colin Bob and Kyle I don't think the samurai would get very far without rolling
the bowler?..... how about the land rovers?
the Bowler Wildcat should definately be in this "icons" thing
I think he meant "drove". O and i are right next to each other
@ bob and Kyle, I was thinking samurai but brain farted sidekick out
Don't forget about Suzuki samurai
@colin I really want to see the g class and the defender, and maybe even the range rover
lol "I'm not sure what I bought... I know it was in '08 and its jeepish or something"
Colin I'd replace Sidekick with Samurai, I've seen some of those out-crawl Wranglers. But the rest of the list sounds pretty good
At least it's not " I drive a red car"
You don't even know what you drive?
I drive a 2008 wrangler Unlimited I think, and I liked it a lot.
I'll bet the others in this series are Land Cruiser, Defender 90/110, G Class or Unimog, Bronco, Ram Charger, Sidekick (don't hate, I've seen them get into some impressive places), Hilux, Pathfinder, Blazer
This should be an awesome series
Jeep wranglers are beastly off roaders so much fun all the time
