I bought something other than camera gear!

However it will get me to the spots to shoot.
Now I can get rid of the truck and drive something a little easier on the pocketbook.

Derrel · Jul 17, 2019

Cool! A new Jeep!

tirediron · Jul 17, 2019

Easier on the pocketbook? :lol:

Let's see: New T/R tires? $2000. Suspension lift? $3500. Light bar, ditch lights, etc? $500. HD bumper & sliders? $2000....

Jeeps are great...until you're going to work and the instrument cluster decides to wave bye-bye :BangHead:

I had loads of fun trying to get mine stuck :1247:

zombiesniper · Jul 17, 2019

They're a lot easier to work on than a Dodge 2500 diesel and cheaper parts.....provided I don't follow @tirediron with the mods. lol

Cool new toy, but avoiding accessory and upgrade fever may be pretty difficult. My boss bought his Rubicon new, and I swear he has spent more on aftermarket goodies than he paid for the Jeep! :eek-73:

I used to offroad out west. Nothing like climbing a mountain without a road. I hate mud and that's all there is here. No need for a bunch of mall crawler gear so I should do okay.
Most of the things I want to do I can do in my own shop or make from scratch. Like an external cage with an integral ladder and platform at some point so Jr and I can stand on top of the Jeep to see over all of the tall reeds in our own blind.

Watch the WCM like a hawk! Once it goes, it goes!

That friggn thing gave me such a huge headach!

But mine is a patriot at least with the 6 speed auto and not the CVT.

Congrats!

I am trying very hard NOT to get one. I currently tow my 2010 Camry on a car dolly behind my motorhome, and think it would be easier to flat tow a Jeep. I keep telling myself "wait a couple more years".

Nice! I had an '05 TJ for a few years. Yours looks pretty much stock except for the chrome bits and the wheels. Having a hard top is great. It will make a great birding rig especially with a platform.

Thank you.

What is a WCM?

Edit. Found out what a WCM is. No worries as this thing is so lack lustre in features I'm lucky it came with a steering wheel. lol

What is a WCM?

Wireless Control Module

This is an older posting, but the problem still persists with all Jeep/ Chrysler vehicles.

Engine Will not Start Due to Wireless Control Module Fault : Jeep Wrangler Electrical and Lights

Oh and more pics of the jeep!
Especially if your having fun..

zombiesniper · Jul 18, 2019

Ya, mines barely wired let alone having anything wireless. I don't have a WCM but I appreciate someone looking out for me. Thank you.

Just Empty Every Pocket.

We are interested in the new Gladiator.

Cool, love a Jeep but now you'll end up spending even more money on all the cool mods for Jeeps, lol! I kid, I'm sure you'll contain yourself despite the possible urges to. I fell in love with a Jeep Grand Cherokee recently and man, she was beautiful! She had all the right curves and 700 h.p. to boot but high maintenance ladies with $80K price tags are simply out of my league. Yours is just right!
