Hi everyone ! I'm Pat, currently in Kingston, ON. I say "currently" because my job make me move a lot.
I'm a longtime watcher and reader here - in the early days when it was called Jeep Scrambler Forum - and decided to make the jump yesterday. I've not been on a forum for a very long time. I'm a french canadian, so excuse my level of english writing...
Got the Jeep bug for the last 27 years. Use to wheel all over the place in Quebec and Eastern Ontario. I'm a big inline-6 4.0L fan, took me 11 years in my LJ Rubicon to get into the Pentastar. Jeeps are built, not bought, so I'm basically doing everything by myself - even went thru a full frame-off over the winter in an unheated garage...
Here's are all the Jeeps I had so far:
1992 XJ Sport 2 Doors, 4.0L, AX-15, NP231, D30/C8,25, 3.07 on 31"
1997 TJ Sport, 4.0L, AX-15, NV231, D30/D44 detroit locker, 3,73 on 33"
1993 XJ Sport 4 Doors, 4.0L AW4, NP231, D30/C8,25, 3,73 on 31"
2004 LJ, 4.0L, 42RLE, NV231, D30/D44, 3,73 on 33"
2005 LJ Rubicon, 4.0L, 42RLE, NVG241OR, D44/D44, 4,10 on 33"/35"
2008,5 WK Limited 3.0L CRD, - tow rig and grocery getter
Current one's are:
2016 JKU Rubicon Hard Rock, 3,6L, NSG370, NV241OR, D44/D44, 4,10 on 33"/35", but I've got some plans for it... ;-)
2016 MK74, 4-banger but at least 4x4, wife's grocery getter
In my area both Jeep dealers got some Glad on the lot, but either not what I'm looking for or way overpriced. They are not showing any interest in ordering... Any hint for a future buyer ? Any good buying experience ? Should I wait for the diesel or even the hybrid ? I want to get rid of my wife's Patriot and get a Glad Rubicon instead. 3-6 months horizon. Any input are welcome !
See ya out there !
