  Future Problems? - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By postalgal - August 1 - 1:40 pm

  Purchased the RHD Sport Postal Jeep with high hopes for a quality ride that could take the abuse I can dish out on a daily basis (all you mail folks know what I mean). Anyway, the engine was making noise from the day I picked it up. It sounded like the valves, but just couldnt imagine how a new Jeep could have that kind of problem, but thats what it was! Dealer had to replace valve lifters at 2300 miles. I also am noticing a loud thunking noise and it feels like it is right under my feet. I hope this isnt an indication of how this vehicle is going to hold up. Maybe I should have bought the extended warranty.

  Jeep Fanatic! - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By Meg - January 23 - 6:26 pm

  I bought my jeep brand new in 07 and two years later I am still LOVING it! I run it on a mail route, and not only is the size perfect for that, but it is so sporty, that even when I am not working and when I clean it up...I get soooo many compliments on it! When my husband & I travel we are more likely to take the jeep instead of his 09 F- 350, we can whip it in and out of just about any where, and its just so much fun to drive! :)

  Surprisingly capable - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By Tom - January 16 - 11:36 pm

  Bought this new and drove it 200 miles down the front range and then across the San Luis Valley of CO. Next day took it mountain climbing in the San Juans. I call that a break-in! The 4-banger has plenty of oomph for the highways and the passes, and seems to be getting decent mileage (although its too new to really judge). The six-speed tranny combined with lo-range will have you creeping over the rough stuff at less than walking speed, or stirring the gears on the road like youre in a top-down sports car. Only in a Jeep! Comfy seats, good looking all-around, and a steal at the employee price. Affordable, practical, capable, and fun transportation.

  Off-road king - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By jeeper - January 2 - 9:26 pm

  I have had my Unlimited Rubicon for almost a year and love it! I am a hard-core off-roader and I find the Unlimited the perfect compromise for someone with a child and a need to drive to work 5 days a week. The lockers in the Rubi take me everywhere, and the extra cargo space hold all my gear. Im a Jeeper and added a small lift and bigger tires after a few months. Getting stuck is a thing of the past. Ive put this thing up the side of mountains in the National Forest in 1.5 feet of snow and over rocks the size of cars. It isnt the most refined, quite, or comfortable, its a Jeep

  Awesome - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By jarrod - December 31 - 8:26 pm

  Very fun to drive, not very good gas mileage but if you are buying a Jeep you probably do not care about gas anyway. Having both tops is great!

  100% fun - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By Chuck Leo - October 4 - 7:16 pm

  My TJ is probably the most fun vehicle Ive ever owned with 4 wheels. With the 4.0L and 6 speed its got plenty of power and easy to handle. With all the after market parts available it was easy to make it a one of a kind "me" jeep. Its built tough enough to take me anywhere. The best part is really how the vehicle makes me feel when I drive it.

  Lifters at 1500 miles - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By Mike D - August 26 - 10:53 pm

  I have owned Jeeps all my life. I had to give up my beefed up Wrangler in 95. And have had family friendly vehicles ever since. This year as my kids got older I decided to go back to the basics. I wanted an 06 Wrangler with zero miles that I could build from scratch. It has been one month to the day and I am in a rental car all week because my Jeep is in the shop with bad lifters. I also have a dead spot as soon as I shift into third gear. I forgot how owning a Jeep meant fixing aJeep... I just did not plan on it in the first 30 days. I LOVE the Jeep. But I am bitterly disappointed with my purchase. I hope things go uphill from here

  06 Jeep Unlimited Wrangler - 2006 Jeep Wrangler
  By wildbill - August 24 - 10:06 am

  This is a very fun vehicle to drive and own. Lot smoother ride than the 95 wrangler I used to own. It rides as smooth as my wife’s Nissan murano. No problems yet. I have 3,200 miles and am looking forward to getting a hitch since the towing capacity has been increased from 1,500 lbs. to 3,000 lbs. thanks to the added length and an extra crossmember in the frame. I’ll now be able to tow my tent trailer with no problem.
