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.

Almost all of them. A few always get rejected.

That was really more of a nonconformist thing. Last chance to buy a guzzler that pisses Greta and her friends off. Compliance would've been to buy a friggin' EV, and then tell people how great it is.

I never even started.

Hey, I have good news for you, 1971demon! They called from the bar and said they did find your phone.

Supposedly you're now supposed to text people first and ask if it's okay to call them.

Fixed.

No, not necessarily. Of the few I know that haven't left yet, only one couple have any family ties, that I know of. Some just aren't wired to "start over", I guess, and are apparently prepared to go down with the ship. Or they're in complete denial.
