Mine was a 1968 Wagoneer 4x4. It was a battleship with a Dauntless V8 (Buick).

1985 Cherokee Chief, v6 2.8 GM self oil changing engin. 5 speed mannual. Drove it to 189,000+ miles and got 5,00 grand for it.

Gold with black accents, 2 door, tire swing...

GREAT car, lousy engine. Great milage but no power especially about 4,000 feet in the Cascades. Like driving a coughing turtle.

'99 Wrangler Sahara (TJ). Since then I've owned a Grand Cherokee, a Liberty and ordered a 2 door JK rubicon a few weeks ago.

Back in the early 80's (very early) I had a 72 CJ-5 with a 304 V-8, 4" lift running 33's. It was a monster at the time. It was red and I have kicked my self for selling it. It was a big part of the reason I bought a red Rubi. I wanted the modern tech with a smoother ride but the same type Jeep to re-live my high school days I guess...................... :roll:

I do miss the V-8 though, but hey I have slowed down and so should my Jeeps!

The KJ is my 5th Jeep with a Daystar 2-1/2" lift Rubi rims and 31's, the Rubi my 4th with way too many mods to list on here. Other Jeeps from the past have included a V-8 2000 WJ with a 2"bb and 32's, and a 78 360 V-8 Wagoneer stock.

Next Jeep in line to buy is going to be a new 4 door unlimited Rubi.

88 XJ Pioneer. It was tough and reliable. A stuck thermostat did leave me in the hills between Yakima and Ellensburg once though.

First was a 48 CJ2A in 73 (the mountain goat, would go anywhere) , then a 57 CJ 5 , 62 FC150 ( fun but worthless for everyday) and the list continues, too many I think 13 Jeeps so far and 10 or 11 other 4 wheel drives , too much money wasted just for FUN!! :lol:

Or thats what all the Ex's said!

'98 Wrangler TJ SE - Chili Pepper Red w/black top (pretty rare color and combo). 4 Banger, 5-spd. 1 option = folding rear seat. No cassette player, no air. LOVED IT!!! Built it to ride some pretty good trails. traded it for the KJ in 03

I guess I am a Jeep for life

84 XJ Pioneer I4, great in the snow but gutless. Laughed at a Highway patrol officer, pulled me over saying I was doing 75mph. :evil:

This thing couldn't do 75 down hill with a tail wind. He gave me an energy wasting fine for going 70mph so nothing went on my insurance record.

RAYMAN975 · **Posted:** Mon May 19, 2008 4:04 pm

mine was a 1989 YJ sahara, 4.2 with the AX-15 5-speed, miss that thing, never should have sold it

jeepmedic · **Posted:** Mon May 19, 2008 7:30 pm

81 CJ5. Still have and drive it.

spoonplugger1 · **Posted:** Mon May 19, 2008 7:41 pm

'46 MB, took out the F head with the rod through the side and put in an L head. Than I had to elevate the rear hinges up about 2 inches to clear the higher engine and air cleaner. It had a full and half metal top.
Next was a 1955 ex Coast Guard CJ5.

This KJ is it for me! I've always wanted one, but never found one that would fit the family. Now that most of the kids are gone I grabbed the KJ.

I'm a Jeep convert myself. I was always a car guy until the Liberty... I'll probably never buy another vehicle again. The KJ should last for the next 20 years.
