The Jeep Thread!

My friends are continually shaking their collective heads re: my Jeep infatuation, given the other cars I have owned and currently owned. What's cool is:

1) The Wrangler wave--about 50% of drivers do it
2) The extensive mod-a-bility--the modern Wrangler can be individually tailored and personalized to each owners whim. (Although it is remarkable how much you can spend.)
3) It is remarkably capable off road.
4) I have the dual top option with hard top insulation pads. Warm and quiet in the winter, and I can have a bunch of variations on a convertible (sun rider top flipped back, rear and rear side windows in or out, top up or completely down) with the soft top in the summer.
5) It is a vehicle that dates from the automotive stone age, so it is much easier to forgive it's sins. And it has huge personality.
6) The 4 door is actually quite practical--you can, in a pinch, sleep in the back of it. It has reasonable cargo capacity with the back seats folded (and the fold to make a FLAT load floor!).
7) It is the easiest vehicle I've every owned to change your own oil on.
8) You can relatively quickly pull the carpets and clean it out with a hose.

It certainly isn't for everyone, but is most certainly fun for some...

Gems they are indeed.

My wife recently sold her Escalade for a SRX. So I'm looking for the right low mileage Commander (2010) to replace my 2011 Liberty Renegade.

Wish me luck (or riches )

 

Jeeps come in handy right after a snow storm.

When other cars are afraid to park where there is 6 inches or more of snow, you can make your own parking space with your Jeep.

Modern Grand Wagoneer.

 

Just bought this jeep from my pop who bought it new in 1993. I am really enjoying it!

Just purchased a new Jeep Wrangler for my wife.


800 miles and a small 1" crack appeared from the base of the windshield.




I will bring it to the dealer next week.

I assume this is not covered under the warranty ?

In other words file with INS or pay cash.

 

Are there signs of a rock impact? Could be a bad piece of glass, or an issue with the windshield frame? I assuming you haven't folded the windshield forward?

 

It does not look like a rock impact.

Crack originates from the base of the frame and is about 1" long.

The windshield has not been touched.

The Jeep still has the dealer applied wax.

 

Nice Jason! Sweet that your 'pop' had so many cool 4x4's in his stash!

 

Willys ready for anything. Thought it looked 'photogenic' wearing that layer of morning cold.

Yeah it does

 

I tried to dig out, by hand, some mostly buried railroad ties in the front yard. They were water-logged and pinned together with rebar.

Then I got smarter.

All four of these came out in one pull, with no effort at all.

I wish I had taken pictures, but I was in Moab the week before the Easter safari and got to see some of the cars Jeep brought down. Pretty cool stuff that they really need to consider producing. One of them was driving an Egyptian spec military wrangler with a diesel.

 

Man the "frosting on the pumpkin" (turn on the heater dad), takes me back to the good old days.

 

Could be a damaged glass from the factory. A chip(a clam in the trade)on the edge can cause a stress fracture later. If it emanates from underneath the trim I don't see how else it could happen.
Your windshield is two pieces laminated together. If the crack is on the inside that pretty much eliminates the possibility of external causes. You should be able to feel the crack with a razor blade, check if it is inside.

 

First break in snowstorms manana. Will dig this beast out and drive it away...actually going to clear the windows, climb in, put it in 4wheel low and drive right out.
