Jeep ?

Oh yeah. Duke just reminded me. 34K miles and we've had to replace the alternator and water pump.

Eddy - you're thinking the Wrangler Style, right?

Fun to drive and move around in (less so on highway). Can go anywhere.

They leak (hard tops too)
They can be easily broken into
Mileage sucks
They like to dart from side to side
Little stuff breaks

But They Are Fun

Definitely see if you can rent one for a few days or week to see if it will work for you.

Tagger,

I also have been thinking of getting a jeep. The models that I like are 2000 to 2006. I was interested in the TJ model and the unlimited 2 door for the extra towing cap. Everytime I get the chance to ask an owner what kind of milage they see, they say 20-21 mpg. This is with a standard transmission 5 speed and 6 cyl motor. I'm wondering if the new 6 speed gets better than that.
I picked up a four wheeler and put a plow on it. I've had it for a couple years and thought if I had to register it why not buy a Jeep.

Hope this helps,
Mike
