i carry too much and always convince myself I’ll be a hero and help someone else. Or at least provide tools if I don’t know what Im doing. That‘s just so I don’t have to admit it could be my own vehicle.
I carry a solid recovery/repair kit, but I’ll admit that I sort of rely on knowing guys like you are out there for the kitchen-sink stuff.

It's a shame he won't trade the Jeep in a Toyota. I mean he says that Jeeps are so bad so go trade it in on the Toyota and let us know how it goes. He needs to just put his money where his mouth is and get it over with.
I just don't get the refusal to admit that these issues can be overcome on the trail with basic knowledge gathering. Like, a situation can't leave you stranded if you know how to handle it.

I carry too much recovery gear and too many tools but I’m with you. I don’t have knowledge beyond doing all my own mods and maintenance…so far.

He won't admit anything else so why would he admit that?

One thing I do is use my trail kit to do Jeep maintenance and mods even if I’m at home. Helps me make sure it has what I need.

Welp, I guess I know what I’ll be listening to this afternoon. Also, how the fuck is that album 33 years old??

I'm not talking about engine issues and 10 year old vehicles that haven't been maintained.

So what are you going to do about it I mean I see you griping about it okay fine but what are you going to do about it seriously?
I never said this was anything I was going to do something about. That's not the point of the conversation.

It's a shame he won't trade the Jeep in a Toyota. I mean he says that Jeeps are so bad so go trade it in on the Toyota and let us know how it goes. He needs to just put his money where his mouth is and get it over with.
Don't read the fanboy print. That doesn't help anyone.

For the record - I wouldn't own a Wrangler if my wife didn't love it so much. I don't dislike it, it's can be a lot of fun. But for me it's not worth the cost (both monetarily and added stress of the issues that come with it). I can do anything I could ever do with the Wrangler with other, better built vehicles. This experiment of ours is for her. She's happy so far. Once she's no longer happy, our Wrangler will be gone.

So if it's her Wrangler why are you the one on the forums?

It's for your safety.

Oh and it's not "her" Wrangler. She just drives it usually.
