I've spent so much money on mine, that i could have bought three of them lol, especially after 14k worth of new engine - for some reason, I still love the thing to bits!

Owning a Jeep is like owning a vintage car. Everytime you drive it you have to fix something.
So far the only thing that I really like about the TJ is the look of it. I hate the design of the diffs and have no confidence in their off road ability (if i keep it I will be transplanting Patrol or Cruiser diffs in) and for the fuel consumption I think that the power output is crap. If it did wheel stands I wouldn't complain.
Thus far very unimpressed with the build quality and think that the offroad reputation is undeserved.
