Over 133,000 miles in six years. Got me to work everyday and six weeks vacations every year to Belize, New Mexico deserts and Texas hill country. I will drive nothing else, just Jeeps.

Reliable heavy duty, go anywhere, over anything. 6" lift with 33's winch, hardtop, sliding glass windows. Nothing ever breaks.

Fun Vehicle

It depends on what you are looking for. If you want a fun vehicle and you don't want all the bells and whistles then you will like this vehicle. It is fun to drive and easy to work on, which is important if you drive off-road in isolated areas and if something goes wrong you're on your own to fix it. This is a utility vehicle so you shouldn't expect it to a refined luxury vehicle. It may be a little difficult to get in and out of and have a pretty basic interior, but that simplicity is what makes it a great vehicle to drive in remote areas and allows for endless personal customization.

Good for off-roading

SOOOO fun to drive off-road, can handle just about everything. We've gone up VERY steep hills that most likely not very many other Jeeps can handle like this one! My first time driving it off-road was hard since I'm only 15 and don't even have my permit yet. But it was fun, we even went over some pretty big rocks with it. Can handle the heat -- we tested it out in about 98 degree heat and the color is black. It's a dependable car.
