Jeep In High Speed Chase
SavannahLion:
---smurfing--- ---uvula---. I have ZERO respect for anyone that does something like that. What would have happened if there were people in any of those backyards or kids on that playground? If some ---smurf--- drove through my backyard like that with my kids playing in the playground, the police are going to have to figure out how to get his stupid monks haircut out of my grill.

a little FYI: Ford offered to buy Jeep from Chrysler just over a year ago. Chrysler entertained the offer and almost considered it. The stopping point was that Chrysler wanted to maintain the production and dealer network, just lease the Jeep name from Ford. Ford pulled their offer. Ford's intention was to eliminate the Cherokee, Journey, Patroit. Keep Wrangler. Change the branding for Explorer and Escape, then redesign -rerelease the Cherokee.

Ive considered myself a jeep fan for the past few years and I didnt know about that! The Cherokee as we know is was discontinued with the 2001 model year here in the US (Ive got a 99 with almost 150K miles, runs like a champ, needs a new transfer case though...), but I think it would be interesting to see what Ford could come up with for a "new Cherokee". Hopefully they'd be smart enough to keep the grill designs. ;D

Can only tell from the front that its a TJ, so its '97 to 2006.
There is nothing the old Jeeps can do that the new ones can't, particularly the front lockered Rubicon.

Yeah, the Rubicon is a pretty bad mofo if you're into off roading. I bought a CJ more for nastolgia, and to drive around with the top off and look cool. Although it is pretty well equipped for rock crawling. Hence, the reason the mechanic is trying to correct the castor alignment so I don't wind up in a ditch.

Chrysler has/had a love/hate relationship with Mitsubishi for years, dating back to the Colt. The Colt used to have a badge on the back that said "Dodge Colt-Powered by Mitsibishi". Mitsubishi was trying to break into the US market but didnt have the capitol or dealer network to do so. The Mitsubishi trucks that are nothing more than a Ram but with the Mitsubishi emblem on the front look terrible. I will say the Mazda version of the Ranger doesnt look that good either. Back to the Dodge's, if the Dodge version isnt very good, then the Mitsubishi version will be the same since they are made on the same assembly line in Illinois. The only Misubishi car that has seemed to catch on is the Eclipse and the popularity of that one hase faded quite abit!

Wife has a Mitsubishi Endevour that is a Cherokee with different molding and trim. Same frame, suspension, and engine. You park it next to a Cherokee and they have the same profile.
I wouldn't have bought my Jeep as a primary car, it is a weekender. One of the few good things about getting older, you can buy dumb things that you don't need... I submit to you pinball machines and arcade games.
