That is a NICE looking rig...

I have no idea what you can get for it... are you trading it in or are you going to sell it outright?

I hope you get close to what it's worth... but with this economy,

Good luck, and I'm sorry you have to get rid of your Jeep

Kids fit in the back seat just fine. I line 3 munchkins up in mine all the time.

Keep it if you can.

Good luck with it.

In todays economy, you're going to take a blood bath unloading it!

Sorry if you have to let it go. What does your wife hate about the Jeep? You could start there and try to mod it to her liking. I got Corbeau A4's because my wife did not like the seats. I got the OME lift because my wife did not like the ride. I put in one of those lighted mirrors just for my wife.

I bet if you pull the lift off and take it back down to size, she will feel better about it. My wife hates my jeep now that its lifted. Before the lift, she would steal it from me (that was about 2 years ago). After the lift, she hated driving it.

I wish you the best on it.

You are going to get killed on value buy selling/trading it in.

Having kids is no reason to get rid of the jeep cuz it's a 4door. Why does the wife hate it?? She liked the YJ that rides like a milk truck but doesn't like the JK which is light years ahead of comfort??? Is it YOUR vehicle or is it the family's only vehicle. If it's your vehicle then just take the wife's car around so she won't complain.

so nobody thinks i can even get close to payoff, huh? To be honest i would rather get rid of it than herar any crap about it. She doesnt hate the idea of a jeep she just thinks i need something different and that i wont have time to wheel anyway. I am sure i could get a tj to fix up in a year or so, it wouldnt be too bad.

oh yeah, when i had the j my f150 was my daily so we only rode the jeep on the weekends. Also it was chopped up so she thought it was "cooler".

The Jeep is easier to put kids in a car seat. No need to bend way over!

The Jeep holds a lot of diapers!

Kids may need to get to the emergency room. Quickest way is a straight line, the Jeep will take that line.

Kids LOVE Jeeps!!! Just ask any of us!
