Military Jeep
i'm goin into the military and want to get a jeep, friends told me about Jeep TJ's, are these reliable? ?
What are the pros and cons of getting a jeep? I need help.
To put some of these cons to rest ill give you the good before the bad. As far as handling goes, the tj has handling far superior to any other of the leaf spring jeeps, its rear suspension is independent and it allow the tj to do a hell of alot without flipping over or even loosing any kind of grip. on that note, the tjs coil spring suspenion allows it to well, the highest i ever got was about 5 feet in the air with my right front tire while my left stayed on the ground... i pushed the thing as far as it would go without flipping. put a k&n air intake on it an a new exhaust, hell just have them weld a glasspac on it and your mileage improves dramaticly.
it is definately fun as hell to drive, its a great tailgating and lake vehicle.
the bad, its increadably noisy, i had 4 tops, 1 hard, 2 soft, 1 bikini, the road noise with any of them is insane! i loved the hum of the tires but the soft tops dont make an air... or water... proof fit and they flap in the wind, the hard top will whistle in the wind if its not down perfectly. the jeep is reliable as all get out and an absolutely stupendous car... untill you wreck it, if you wreck the thing you might as well get rid of it then because its all down hill from there. I mudded mine 3 times in the 5 years i owned it, and let me tell you, that is one HELL of a mudder, BUT... 1. if you get stuck... you dont get out 2. mud kills your brakes, rear diff, and well everything 3. jeeps are expensive to fix when you do screw it up.
the really really bad. now mine was from what i understand, the exception to the rule on jeep transmissions, but i had to replace mine 2x and it was rebuilt 3 other times, and each time it was rebuilt, they had to do it all over again at least 3x just to figure out what the problem was. my jeep KILLED my bank account, i had it towed one time and the tow truck guy strapped it down untill he, i, and my father heard a snap, "it was just the chain" my ass... it was the rear axle, 2500 to fix, then tranny after tranny after tranny, and it was a freaking auto that was only ever in the mud 3x, i cant reccommend one to you, but like i said, i hear mine was just the exception to the rule, i just dont want you to get into it without all the facts.
if you do get one, go to www.quadratec.com, youll love it, best thing that ever happend to me was that site, it saved me tons!
