  • Just Empty Every Pocket - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    For those of you purchasing a Jeep TJ or LJ spend a few more bucks ($150) for the steps if you have a small wife and child as it will make their entry/exit easier. If you are even remotely considering going off-road, (as you should with a Jeep) opt for the Rubicon package; that way you wont wind up in my situation where im dropping insane amounts of money on armor, wheels, tires etc. I only recommend the Rubicon if you are going to be doing moderate off-roading; if your intentions are insane off-roading buy the reguler Jeep and upgrade as you go. I encourage everyone to buy the Unlimited package as the additional space really comes in handy. The added length also improves the ride quality.

  • Fun to drive - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    This is my first jeep, so I didnt know what to expect. Every chance I get the rag top and doors come off. The mileage is what was listed on the factory window sticker. I get 15 to 19 mpg with my jeep, and I do not baby it. With the 6 cyl engine it has all the power I need. I tow a small boat and also an 8 ft trailer on occasion. I tow it behind my motor home which is very convenient. I recently towed it to Big Bend where I spend 4 days of off roading. Performance was exactly what I expected. I would certainly buy another.

  • Its a tank! - 2005 Jeep Wrangler

    Go anywhere except past a gas station, hard to get kid out of the back due to 2 door, nothing better come winter though.

  • I LOVE MY JEEP - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    the only thing I wish I could improve on my Jeep is the fuel economy. Its a little on the bad side. I usually get about 320 miles per a full tank, unless I push the RPMs above 3000. Its great in the snow, off road, backroads, highways. My kids love the jeep when we go to the beach and drop the top. The seats and interior are comfortable, and in the CT winter with a soft top the heaters works just fine. I LOVE MY JEEP!

  • Finally - 2005 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    Top down. Hair blowin. Shirt off. Senses Tingling. "Its a Jeep Thing" Finally, I bought a Jeep Wrangler, after years of yearning for one! Only thing I can say is "I", better yet, "my family LOVES IT!" With out a doubt, this is the perfect fun car, truck, SUV, whatever, for a family of four. Im looking forward to taking a vacation to Pismo Beach, and drive the dunes to the ocean. Anyone looking for an outside toy, this is the one to buy!
