I wonder if it has 5mph bumpers and kiddy seat fastening points.

I remember having to install child seat top tethers on a YJ and thinking, as a parent myself, how absolutely mad one would have to be to transport children in the back of one on city streets. Let's face facts, these things are death traps.

The V-6 is the same motor as the Grand Caravan. When it was introduced, the "purists" howled but the fact remains, few "purists" buy Jeeps. Most never go off road.


And their owners love them and I would say at least 50% are women. The are also not averse to plunking down the Visa card to keep up with the constant deluge of water and oil leaks. Made lots off of Jeeps in my day. Just Empty Every Pocket we used to say. People who can afford to buy and run them can afford the constant wrenching and sealing, too, heh heh.

And they still rust like crazy around hinges and seals. The seal where the windshield is the first to go and the bolts that hold it together have be drilled out to remove them. Eventually all the electrics under the dash will short out due the the leakage. Best of they are kept in a garage and only brought out on sunny summer days, as most of them are.

Yikes! Shocked

This is typical for a Jeep TJs and Wranglers? Wow... Maybe this is not such a sound idea for me after all.

Yes, it is. They are best suited for sunny days and should be kept in a garage.
