Well, that and Jeeps should be very simple. Neat stuff is neat, but neat stuff often breaks. Simple, boring, overbuilt stuff lasts forever and rarely breaks when you need it.

Disciple of Pain posted:Oh ok, makes sense. Yeah I was about to post that I would not pull a 3000lb car on the trailer with a Wrangler, and most likely not with a Cherokee - unless it was a well equipped one that was well maintained and was pretty new. Even then, for multiple 100+ mile trips towing a car on a trailer you probably want something better, like a full size pickup (hell i wouldn't want to do that all the time in my truck, and it works just fine... But it is working it can handle it, but a full size domestic pickup with a diesel/big gas V8 would be a lot nicer. I would not recommend anyone ever doing it though, it was mega squirrely and could not get out of it's own way. I'd absolutely tow a a few jetskis, or motorcycles, or a utility trailer with a bunch of crap on it though.

The correct answer to the question is "Yes, Jeeps can drive underwater." I must say though, if my dad had a Hummer when I was little, it would basically be the coolest thing ever. My dad had a rubber mats and vinyl seats S10 Blazer 4x4 when i was little, and after spending a day dragging hurricane felled trees off of our land with it after Hugo, I was convinced that my dad was a badass and his truck could drive up a building. I can only imagine how cool a Hummer must look to a little kid.

Yeah, and just budget 10 or so minutes onto your trip to work to let it get good and warm inside. I used to think it sucked having a soft top in the cold, then I just realized that if I let it idle for a bit in the driveway while I smoked a cigarette, it gets nice and warm inside and is about as comfortable as anything else.

4cyls are slow, but not that bad. They put out 123hp and the 4.0 puts out 180hp. The 4.0 isn't any more bulletproof than the 2.5 seeing as how they are pretty remarkably similar in design. I'm just going to keep mine until I kill it and put a v8 of some sort in.

n0tqu1tesane posted:Well, yeah, they fit so long as you don't go off even pavement. The rear does not have enough uptravel to stuff 33s with the flares removed. My Yj has no lift whatsoever and I run 33s, flatfendered front and removed flares rear. It wheels suprisingly well, the lack of travel on stock sus sucks, but with 33s on cop car steelies, the stance is so wide and it sits so low, it's nearly square in profile. I'm pretty sure you could not flop it if you wanted to.
