another Jeep

[blackstump]

I never wanted one...and then I drove it ...rest is history. Its had its bugs but dont they all. All I have done is fitted some grappler g2 tyres, a 12 pin plug, and anderson plug and a cat back exhaust. Tows like a steam train, fuel usage is awsome and its the most comfortable car I have had. cheers

[NoWorries]

[blackstump]

BUT what.........if you have something to say then say it. Or does owning an overpriced, underwhelming landcruiser give you special entitlements here. I have been a member for two days and cop this $hit already. Sick of you keyboard experts. Jam your forum

 

[Dobbie]

We try to encourage, help and support here...don't you?

I own a Jeep Grand and it is great but can not help feeling a little ashamed.

Mate sorry its a long going friendly ribbing we all give the Jeep owners (and Pootrol owners and Playdoh owners) they also give it back
But we never take the don't be rude out of Navara's as the Crusty Terminator will come and kill us in our sleep. (has to be in our sleep cause we are too tough while awake)

But again sorry it was just a don't be rude take

 

[bigcol]

I think @blackstump has pulled the pin on us, unfortunately

and a real pity

I think a lesson learnt for all
dont take the urine out of someone until you know them well enough to do so,
because the written word does not have the laughter in it that the spoken word can convey

Getting back to the original topic, I have just got back from a three week trip towing our 20.06 Expanda caravan with our Jeep Grand Cherokee. We had two long kayaks on the roof, three filled water tanks in the van, five bikes, a full car and the Jeep was fantastic. Whilst I stuck to around 100 km/h this was because of stability concerns and not because the Jeep couldn't go faster (lots of spare power for overtaking). With all that we were towing and had on the roof we still achieved fuel economy of around 18l/100km which gave us a range of about 400 kms.

For towing a large caravan I would thoroughly recommend a Grand which is also quite a capable 4WD (although it would have been nice to have the next model up with the air bag suspension).

As the proud previous owner of 2 Grand Cherokees I can say they were both great vehicles but I did find the jealous remarks of other peasants who couldn't own one dreary at times and sometimes would make a caustic reply but it usually took more than one word "BUT" and I can honestly say as the proud owner of a Colorado I again get similar remarks, too which I again give the odd Digit Extendous sign...............

So @blackstump as the proud owner of a Jeep you have to take the message to the great unwashed..................

 

[bigcol]

as a previous owner of a Jeep (CJ-5) which is no where near the current range of Jeeps (fit, finish, power, comfort)
I sometimes do slag off the Jeeps - yes - but only from experience

if it were not for the Jeeps, we probably would not have a SUV market

I mean, come on, there was not a good supply of 4wd until after the Jeep, and the poms only made the Landrover because it was cheaper than the Jeep, which was getting harder to find

 

[Drover]

Wash your mouth out @bigcol, In the beginning god created Landrover, he smiled and was very pleased that he had something better than a matchbox Jeep........................................................My great fav vehicles are Jeep and Landy's, with a lean to Landy's more room.

 

[bigcol]

its something about Military people

they like both Jeeps and Landys

always hated the Austin Champ

 

[Drover]

Rolls Royce engine, loved em so long as I didn't have to maintain or pay for the fuel............................

pity the B40 RR engine was only in them for a couple of years, then Austin made copies of the engine to bring the cost down

some even had the Austin A90 motor in them

my mate has 2 of them, and have crawled all over them in the last 40 years

 

[DRW]

Jeeps, Toyota's, Landy's all good, but what we really hate is Navara's

 

[bigcol]
