just picked this up, not really a Jeep guy but they always looked like fun; it's an 04-X, needs a little mechanical tweaking here & there but pretty tight for its age & mileage & has zero rust, looks like it's been garage kept heretofore:
almost had to butter the top to fit it in my unusually low garage, truck stands 6 foot 5 at its peak & squeezed in with about a 1/2 inch to spare but she's in:
really looking forward to taking the top off this spring

Nice ride. My brother thought he was a jeep guy until he finally got one and then sold it about 9 months later.Large and Small BGECentral, IL

I had an old '89 Wrangler for years and recently sold it......still regret that decision. I currently drive a '10 Toyota FJ and absolutely love it off-road (as well as on). Nothing like driving on a nice day with no top.
Enjoy!!

Very cool! My wife just got one too. I'll admit I've been bit. Already plotting tires, lift kit, and bumpers...Slumming it in Aiken, SC.

Congrats! I have wanted one ever since the 50s when they used to run ads in magazines for WW2 surplus Jeeps for 50 bucks or some such. In pieces, coated with cosmoline. Truly DIY. Anyway, I was like 8 years old so it didn't matter. Still want a Jeep but have never done it.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Jeep wave!
Sold my turbocharged tuned sports car at the end of March and picked up a '16 Willy's Wheeler and haven't looked back. I've drooled over this for about 2 years and finally made the switch. MUCH more practical in the winter than a RWD sports car.. A blast to drive in the summer and the winter too. We got 7in or so of snow Sunday and I was driving last night, pulled off the road into a field and tore it up with no problem. Done a few things to mine, but it's nowhere near where I want it to be. Got a lonnnng time before I get to that point.
You're gonna love it!

Had a jeep for years, TJ. Bought it for 21k, sold it six years later for 17k. Lots of fun. It worked in Dallas where the speed limits were 45mph on city roads. I moved to Austin, and speed limits were 65mph. The jeep is not built for a smooth daily commute at those speeds!!+++++++++++++++++++++++++++Austin, Texas. I'm the guy holding a beer.

Look into fluid filming the undercarriage of your jeep. I did mine in the spring and before winter. The thread below has all you need. Short story it's much better than traditional udnercoating and protects from salt and dirt. Keep that thing rust free. Wranglerforum is also the mecca of everything you'll ever need, beware though it's just like this website. You find something new you want to buy every day...

For the daily grind I prefer small quick automatic & efficient matchbox type cars with all the necessary comforts...

Nice off-road toys but a 500 mile days with the road manners of a tractor combined with soft top flapping so loud you scream at each other to talk at speed was too much for me as I got middle aged. If it's not your daily driver, it can be fun to play with.Jacksonville FL -

ha, truth is I was sweating bullets as I realized its height might be an issue (literally didn't occur to me as I was buying it);
and you can build a small wooden platform next to your driveway, so that each time you pull up to it on the driver's side. then you can get into and out of the jeep easier.
totally unrelated question... you got a hitch on that, for, say. oh i dunno. a boat trailer?

Very nice. I have always wanted, but I haven't pulled the trigger "yet"!

Zip with those much larger tires, and stock speedometer settings, your 60 is actually closer to 70.BrandonQuad Cities
