I’ve owned three AMC Jeeps. A 1978
J-10 pickup, a 1979 Grand Cherokee,
and a 1979 CJ7 (40 YEARS OLD and
still running strong). None of them
ever left me stranded due to
mechanical problems or breakdowns
in the rough stuff. I also have a
2006 Wrangler Rubicon. The capabilities
of this vehicle is awesome off road
with its’ factory lockers. It will
literally climb a tree, and is running
strong at 145,000 miles.
My wife and I owned a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the best engine Jeep ever made - the 258-cu.in. straight-6. If they ever could have figured out how to keep brakes and rotors on that thing, I might still have it. It became a 20,000 mile regular consumer of brakes & rotors and no one at Jeep thought anything of it.
