New wrangler showed up today at our dealership bodyshop.

Definitely an improvement but unless my old lady wants one (I'd love that) I'm just gonna keep my tacoma . From what I've seen it is basically made the same way some differences I've noticed .

Redesigned full frame
New smaller radius arms up front which should help not ruin the frame in a collision in the perch area. Its common.
Redesigned trailing arms that continue past the rear axle
Factory axle breather
Looks to be a magnesium tailgate at least the frame work of it the skin might be aluminum
Backup camera in tire mount
Tag has been located to the rear bumper
Big 10" sub in the right rear 1/4 trim panel
Auto start
Way more clearance in the wheel wells

Everything else you can just see by looking at the inside and outside .

 

Saw one driving the other day. The only thing I remember is the bonkers bright LED daytime running lights. Bonkers bright. Took away from the rest of the truck.

 

Why at the body shop, specifically? Did it get damaged in transit?

 

Yeah a transportation claim . I'm at a landmark Georgia dodge Chrysler jeep dealer .

 

Atlanta or Savannah?

 

Atlanta

 

This could get good

 

Not following you?

 

I really really really want to like Jeeps. I just wish they had the same 300k mile, trust with your life reliability and reputation Toyota has.

 

So what's the MSRP on the sticker? Just curious...

 

Common hatred of Jeeps around here, so this could turn into a shitstorm lol

 

I was just curious. My aunt used to live in Decatur (she works for the CDC and lives in Kenya now!), and I have a friend in Savannah.

What was the damage to the Jeep?

 

I love Wranglers. It's fake Jeeps like the Patriot and the Compass that I don't particularly care for...

 

As for my favorite older Jeep, it's a toss-up between the CJ-7 and the Grand Wagoneer!

 

Oh ...nothing wrong with them just not my cup of tea.

 

Amen

 

Though to be fair, the 4.0L I-6 DID have that 300K mile trust with your life reliability. However, just like our beloved Toyota pickups, Jeeps as new as the late 90s have a bit of a rust problem...

This girl who used to bartend at the bar where I work had a '97 Wrangler 2.5L/5-speed that had relatively low miles for its age (about 18 at the time) and ran like a Swiss watch, but she had to get rid of it when the body rusted out and it wouldn't pass inspection

 

I’ve had 11 Jeeps. I love them, and the new one is sweet. Can’t wait to scoop one up for my lady when the newness wears off and people aren’t paying MSRP

 

53k

 

Just a little buffing probably going straight to the showroom.Decatur is just around the corner. Kenya huh she like it? I've always wanted to travel and it's good to hear first person feedback on different places.
