Here’s the average Jeep owners around here. Big ride that brought um from different states, must’ve been 50-60 in the group however only 16 actually went beyond dirt road, and that group was broken and in our way after purposely blocking the trail on us. They are so damn slow I’m not sure how they break anything but in our way every time we run across them in the wider areas.I know not all are like that but the locals seem to be.

Ya I’d bet 95% of the really built Jeeps that come into my shop have no signs of even a gravel road. What’s funny though is you see Toyotas deep in the woods bashing through stuff. Just the way it is.

I'd be willing to bet that 95% of Jeeps sold have never seen a dirt road. That same 95% have every bolt on off-road accessory Quadratec and Jeepworld offer.

I owned my Jeep for 14 years and loved every minute of it (for the most part)
I would be willing to bet not too many Jeep owners had to replace injector wiring, or had to reroute vent tubes to prevent water ingestion, not to mention seat heat, surging throttle....just sayin
I Thoroughly enjoyed my Jeep just as much as I am enjoying my Pioneer
Jeeps aren’t for everyone, neither are Pioneers, I’m glad and proud to have owned both.
And both are Made In USA. :)

Friends old CJ5 is what got me interested in off-roading years ago. I've been thru CJ7 full restore, countless YJs, TJs, a JL, and now a JK. My jeeps used to be off road machines, now its just a grocery getter/summertime cruiser and the talon gets to have all the fun.

The benefit of the Jeep is that you can drive to where your gonna off road and drive it to work on Monday. The benefit of the Pioneer/Talon is that they can go places a Jeep can’t.
I’ve had my Jeep in places it shouldn’t have been, the Pioneer is still new....o_O

Not once was I stranded. Stuck, but not stranded. But i have done my share of break jobs on it.
As far as Chrysler products, I think it depends on which vehicle, just like other makes some are better than others. Ive had a 76 Duster, 89 RamCharger, 08 Jeep Wrangler, Even my 78 Scout ll had a Torqueflight tranny. I took care of them(not the duster) well and they served me well.

I assume you read my post #5 on the electrical lol.
Also, Id re think that last part. the jeep is mainly designed here (10miles from me) and assembled here. But alot of components are from overseas, says a design friend at the proving grounds near my house. Glad yours have lasted that many years as an everyday driver without major issues or under body rot , you are a lucky man! Thats a good looking buggy, mist have a 3.7?

In 08 the Jeep Wrangler was 87% North American content. One of the highest.
Not sure what the content is today... And most every mod I did to it made it more American content cuz I try not to buy chyna made chit.
The Wranglers never had a 3. 7 they were 3.8 and then switched to to the more pewerful 3.6.
During my working days I drove the stretch of i90 from Cleveland to Geneva right along the lake all winter long and the Jeep got er done. 235-80/17 BFG ats helped alot.

RamCharger had throttle body injected 5.9L v8.
Back in when it was new my brother was going to Thompson drag raceway to race his Mustang. Short story, it was run what ya brung day so I said what the heck. It was the first time I drag raced. Two rounds in my brother was eliminted and he had to watch his kid brother(me) win one race after another all the way to "Truck eliminator of the night" still have the trophy somewhere. I was running 18 flat. Consistantly. LMAO blistering aint it.

You’re thinking of the Rampage based off the TC3 not Ramcharger. Ya, they were junk. Daytona and Laser which same platform were fast for their time though

Thats right, my bad. The Rampage was the same as the Turismo and charger and most of the K frame bodies
