Haha, I didn't know Richard Simmons drove a Jeep! :laugh3:

 

[KPTHEMP]

yeah and amazingly enough theres not even a scratch on the front license plate

 

[Timmy2XJS]

ya know i see pics of or beloved battle wagons beat the hell and tore up and it kinda gives me a warm and fuzzy that the ole girls just might take damn near anything, but sucks that some jackass kills off another one.

and yes i hope said jack ass and passenger recover fully.

big time ouch... this "cash for clunkers" is gonna kill the used XJ market, i know several million were made but this is still bad news, the XJ made number 7 on the list of the most popular vehicles to be traded in and crushed.

1. Ford F-Series
2. Ford Explorer
3. Chevrolet C/K/Silverado
4. Jeep Grand Cherokee
5. Dodge Ram
6. Chevrolet Blazer
7. Jeep Cherokee
8. Dodge Grand Caravan
9. Dodge Dakota
10. Ford Ranger

AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[bigalpha]

The MJ guy gave a bunch of stupid reasons to get rid of it ... no headliner and he used bondo? So what?

 

[stevend510]

We sure couldn't have a Jeep running around with no headliner and bondo in it! Right? HAHAHA

 

[KPTHEMP]

heres a nice article about a ZJ's life thats well written about jeeps in general,

http://fredericksburg.com/News/FLS/2009/082009/08282009/489637

"Someone out there knows. But the Jeep's not telling."

 

[Timmy2XJS]

well at least WE can say that our jeeps have be used. they have been off road be it a family camping event, hard wheeling and in some of our XJs cases humanitarian recovery missions.

WE know and our jeeps tell it all.

Yeah I really hate that when I saw it. I hate that the Jeep Grand Cherokee and XJ are on the list, b/c I've been looking for a 5.9 for awhile and they're hard enough to find already, without the risk of them being traded in!

And I also want to own another 99 or '00-01 XJ at some point.

But my biggest beef with the whole gov't program is that rather than donating the cars to a worthy cause (battered women, etc) they would rather permanently kill them off when they are perfectly good and useable...

you gotta see this... http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/article.aspx?subjectid=11&articleid=20090929_11_A13_Eugene318766
