Alright, alright, against better knowledge, here's my third doomed entry. It's a '17 Ram 3500, all stock except for a better charge air cooler, tires, LED headlights, and the bed. Since the rules are somewhat sloppily written, it's accompanied by two other potential contestants, a '21 TRX and a...

Well, they used to be. A real Jeep (flatfender) is 57-1/8 inches wide as delivered. Today's JL is 16.8 inches wider. But that's okay. Mall parking lots tend to be spacious.

As I recall, he submitted the taxi every month for eight or nine months...until people gave up.

Hmm, after reading the rules again, it looks like I can't win. Hunter has rigged this against me. But that's okay. I don't take it personally. Much. "Hellcat Forum Car Of The Month and Hellcat Forum Car Of The Year Rules: Must have a minimum of 35 meaningful posts."

Wouldn't it make more sense to have something truly good looking in the foreground...like a Challenger?

I've tried twice, and failed twice. I can take a hint.

It wasn't the dealer's fault that the price increased, and I got it for the agreed upon price at the time I ordered.

From the opposite end of the Jeep power spectrum, anybody here interested in a 158 hp (turbo diesel) Jeep J8? It's a 2-door (of course) with the rag top.

Thinking more about this... There's been a complete change over time. Now you might be living in a one horse town, while we have plenty of them around.

Which isn't all bad. Fun roads, no stoplights, no taxis, no alligators, and so on.

Weight isn't that much of an issue unless there's a lot of getting the mass moving going on, like driving in a city. Since neither a Challenger or a Jeep belong it that kind of environment, weight shouldn't matter.

Tires and aero are two other reasons. Much like getting 24 mpg with a Redeye and 15-16 with a TRX.

See what happens when you talk bad about Jeep XJs.

Hell, they raised the price on mine a couple of times between when I ordered it and picked it up. The miles on it I can't do much about (legally) so it'll be at least 18 on the odometer.

If I don't get close to that for my low mile '23. I'm keeping it.

I had to give up a really nice 2-door GM pickup when moving here. As good as it was, including to chase down BMWs on twisty roads with, the wide tires and 2WD just wouldn't cut it here. Needless to say, I tried hard to find a 2-door in white, but failed.It was actually plenty hard enough to...

A properly set up front axle doesn't need a stabilizer. I'd fix whatever is causing the wobble (which can be several things, but I'd start with tire balance), then put a fresh stabilizer on there to help keep wear of components down.

Glad I read that last sentence before hitting "Like", Eric.

I do miss my little XJ. But I sure wouldn't give up the Challenger.

If only somebody had suggested that you'd buy mine instead.
