TJ being the last model wrangler. I used to "4-wheel" a lot.
The only other vehicle I have owned (besides c900s) are Jeeps. I had 3 TJs (hence the Junkie part), a YJ (sqaure headlight wrangler) and XJ (Cherokee). I found Jeeps to be very tough, super easy to work on, and the engine and drivtrain (especially the later NV3550) are very reliable. I never had a breakdown on any of my vehicles, and two were >>100K miles. They have flimsy doors, are loud, slow, and have poor fuel milage (especially with big tires and lifts), but there is nothing else like one. I had to sell mine due to expenses (kids vs toy).
I have not owned a new Wrangler, but I have driven them. They are more refined, but still slow, relatively noisy and get poor milage, and still a blast.
