    Great Vehicle For Any Terrain Or Environment. — Not a lot done it is only my Daily. 3" lift kit 33" Cooper Discoverer STT M/t Hard top Soft top Custom blacked out headlights HIDs hi/lo beams Hella 100w on tube bumper blacked out headlight housing upgraded head unit upgraded speakers in dash and sound bar Has a/c which is pretty nice with the hard top on.

    Primary Use: Commuting to work

    Pros: It's a great off road machine.The 4 cylinder still makes good power and is good on gas.

    Cons: Should have gone for at least 6 cylinder to to have a little more "pep"

    Love It But Would Love To Get A New One. — I bought this vehicle used since it was an easy way to get into an open air car that has plenty of rollover protection yet had very good "presence". It's been great and I would love to get a new one someday.

    Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

    Pros: Love the rugged simplicity

    Cons: Not much power and poor fuel economy but that's not why I bought it.

    Great Start For An Offroader, Noisy On The Highways But Its A Jeep. Deal With It. — This Jeep is a very fun car to drive. I love the 5 speed manual tranny and it shifts well for a Jeep. Its engine is very reliable and Ive heard its one of the longest lasting engines( Its the last model of engine produced by AMC) It does great on the street for a Jeep, well offroad too. Its limited slip diff. in the front axle helps alot even though its not truly locked. Its gas mileage is not great...I blame the rack for part of that. Overall I love it!

    Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

    Pros: Offroad and summer topless fun!

    Cons: The check engine can get annoying popping on and off but thats probably because of the 148,000 miles!
