- '97 TJ '97-'11. '21 billet silver JLR
When I ordered my Jeep, my previous experiences weighed pretty heavily on my decisions.
1) I'm a 2-door purist.
2) Motor - go big or go home (392 lust aside, see #1)
3) I love me some manual transmission
So, how has that worked out since I took delivery of my '21 JLR?
1) I'm still a 2-door purist.
2) I'd take a 392 in a 2-door, 'cause I'm crazy like that. But, Jeep says no. The Pentastar is a pretty solid engine. I would be interested in a hybrid...maybe...but I think the tech needs further advancement before the nation is forced to go that route (it ain't currently as green as many think).
3) The auto trans is apparently great and makes off-roading (e.g. rock crawling) that much easier. Granted. But...I still love working the manual transmission.
