ok fine!!
« on: June 29, 2016, 05:15:05 pm »
so here ya go people... i'm a busy guy and never get a chance to do this stuff, so here it is...

i got a 2015 Jeep Renegade back in february for my wife... it's alright... not my favourite car out there, but the wife really wanted a stick shift and it's what i could make happen. the more i have driven it, the more i don't mind it... decent amount of space, the 1.4 turbo isn't too bad, decently comfortable... my kids like all the little hidden things all over it. also as a note, within the first 1500kms, my wife did some damage in a parking lot, but it's all good now. it's a sport with power group and a/c... added some slush mats (actually quite good ones from jeep) and blacked out the windows.

for my 2016 Wrangler Unlimited Willy's, I ended up with Rhino for the colour... has the same options i had on the last one (dual tops, hitch, touchscreen, a/c) and added the alpine system. not much to say... love it... love em... will get another i'm sure in the future!

i used to be addicted to soap, but i'm clean now

I really dig those little Renegades, and the Wrangler is just sweet! The resale on those is just unbelievable.

Very cool, nice tooscoops!
Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.

The Wrangler is way cool.

yeah, i tend to keep it honest!!

i keep expecting this real "jeep"... but i forget, i bought the thing for less than my first neon listed at back in the day when i got a demo when i was 19... for the kind of money that normally gets you a (sub)compact sedan, it really is kind of an interesting one... just wish i could have got a bit more toys as options with the stick at the time...

and yeah... the 'squatch is on all of em... and the spider saying "ciao" in the gas filler area... and the "to new adventures" around the key tumbler... and the old jeep images on the windshield... "paintball" splatters on the guages, floor mats, etc... neat little stuff. i'm going to find some nicer rims to put on it though and use those ones for winters.

as for the wrangler... i do like the alpine system better for sure. wish the sub wasn't in the floor though. i actually used that space, so now i have nowhere to put my tow ropes, d-rings, etc. and man.... the soft top is so bloody tight... hopefully it stretches out soon because it is a pain in my butt.

thanks for the cheers and such folks... i've got 800kms on the wrangler... my wife has 2200kms on the renegade... considering i've had mine a week and i got her the renegade 4 and a half months ago, i think mine will have more use!

Nice rides! Methinks that the Renegade looks pretty sharp in white with the tint.
