Nice, but that's not a Jeep.  [cheeky]  [cheeky]  [cheeky]


It's one of them High-End Jeeps, often abbreviated to HEEP.  [cheeky]
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

So you're all saying I should have gotten a Range Rover instead.  [roll]

;D

If I lived in a state that had more than 500ft of elevation total in it, or had at least enough rocks in it to cover a driveway, then I would understand the desire to own a TJ or even a JK.
But I live in a fairly flat state and only really require AWD for when the snowdrifts start piling up by the feet and needed something to pull a trailer (something that the Wrangler usually rides on not pulls  :o) so I settled for the WK2.

It offers amenities for myself and the wife and being the only 4 wheeled vehicle in our household had to manage multiple roles. The Wrangler doesn't have the ability to swallow 4x8 sheets of plywood or drywall.

No, but with the back seat out mine will haul an astonishing amount of beer. And anywhere I want to take it.  ;D

Nice, I have the 7 passenger version (Dodge Durango) albeit with 3.6 and 8speed transmission. Gets up plenty quick and still gets decent (24-25) mileage...

I think that consolidation move was a good move.  [thumbsup]

Sprint blocked the ports necessary to do the hack early on. Plus you actually have to have the uConnect cellular connection enabled. I tether via my own phone for the streaming apps I use and only the crash/emergency auto call is enabled.

Plus I already updated to the latest firmware version.

The fact that what you just said is somehow relevant to owning a Jeep is eroding my soul.
