Have to disagree about the engineers not knowing what they're doing (and not just because I'm a dorky engineer ). They have engineered the best possible vehicle given real-world constraints (performance, budget, schedule).

I, for one, am damned pleased with the trade-offs Jeep made! Where others see a "recycled mini-van engine," I see a very reliable, smooth, more powerful engine that has survived intense mommy neglect. Where others see "cheap plastic," I see a very low maintenance interior that will NEVER need armor all. The need for a classy paint job isn't even on my radar. And I don't see anything wrong with my Rubi wheels/tires. Bottom line: I got one helluva stock Jeep for the price of a generic, drool-producing (in a bad way) family sedan.

And to get back on topic, no problems here. Just lots of smiles -- nothing beats a radio blaring while cruising the coast!

Where are you in KY?

 

Just passed the 10K mark, and still no problems or recalls yet...it still gets off-roaded at least once a week...right now, it's filled with 18 full body goose decoys and a raft of hunting crap...my only problem is that I got a little blood stain from a six pointer in the back that leaked thru the tarp I had underneath it...she goes thru the swamps, woods and fields like my other 6 Wranglers and CJs, only with a lot more room inside...yee haa! ain't life GREAT?
