With Jeep’s 75th Anniversary upon us, there’s even more reason to rave about the Wrangler.

so many ways to mod

.... The way that they make dampened panties drop at the speed of light.

No other vehicle has gotten as many young men laid as the venerable Jeep CJ/Wrangler.

I have a 2013 Rubicon we bought for off-roading. Although I love the way it can be configured I'm not impressed with the thin sheet metal body, a hard top that leaks and marbles in the transmission. I get tired of mine spending time at the dealership never getting fixed. I also get tired of hearing people say "of course it leaks, its a Wrangler".

Yes I know there are no other vehicles that can compete with the Wrangler but does that mean the owners have to accept poor engineering and low quality? I guess the question answers itself, people keep buying them.

Guess I expect more...

Of course it leaks, it's a Wrangler!

Maybe you would be better fitted to the Nissan ProX4? I've wheeled with them and never had to help or wait for a lifted ProX4. And it's a hard top SUV with lockers.

...and clearly Jeep engineering, assembly and quality control cannot be held to the same kind of standards as everyone else. That's crazy talk! I mean, they've only been making removable top vehicles for 75 years after all. They can't be expected to get it right, can they?

Nope, no way. It's a freaking Jeep/Chrysler vehicle. If you wanted quality, you have the wrong product. Go buy a Toyota, Honda or Ford if you want quality.

Leaks,are,part of the tradition. 75 years and counting! Still a great experience.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) actually, and I would argue that Fiat actually added some quality, which is hard to comprehend.

I wanted to believe FCA could save Chrysler, but now I think the brand(s) may just be cursed. If you take the old FJ 40 approach (built, not bought), you will probably love your Jeep because it is re-built for you. It is unfortunate that Jeep (FCA) can't just build them well (V8, diesel, stout, actual roll cage, etc) for us, but I guess that is a Jeep thang.
