@Just-Jeepin Every Wrangler I ever sold was to a woman. Granted, I worked at a GMC dealer, and I only sold 2, but still, the point stands.

@Urambo-Tauro This snowballed very quickly from "want Jeep" to "let's build a Jeep!"

@415s30 feel like that could land you a ticket… but if you’re feeling brave I want to see the video.

@Just-Jeepin said in Some low-res DOTS and one cleeeeean YJ:

I neglected to mention: my first thought upon seeing the YJ was that Torch was channeling @David-Tracy.

I can see it.

@amoore100 the only thing I see in the picture is the tiny footwell.

@pip-bip Night

@Urambo-Tauro as the owner of a 4runner with various rust issues (the most recent of which was hiding behind the weight distributing hitch mounting plates) i am jealous that you have the ability to do this at home. i, on the other hand, have to pay professionals. good thing there's frame repair sections available though.

looking forward to this series!

All those tags make the comment section tiny

@Wobbles-the-Mind it's Caravan -> Grand Caravan, Voyager -> Town & Country, get it right! I always liked titles on these types of SWB/LWB models that emphasized the size of the larger option, especially 'Grand' as was used on so many Grand C4 Picassos and Grand Scenics. I don't really understand giving them different titles like Tahoe and Suburban when fundamentally they're basically the same. Still, Yukon and Yukon XL are lame as fuck so I guess sometimes different monikers make sense.

@Just-Jeepin I would guess that was because they heated up the interior less in the pre-AC days. Same reason so many Land Rovers and Land Cruisers have the tops painted white. Reflects the heat, instead of absorbing it.

@carsofwalnutgrove

Great photos!

And... now I'm really hungry.

@AkioOhtori said in A Long-Overdue Introduction to My New Jeep!:

Not to be like "what happened to the Saab" but... What happened to the Saab?

Life, uh, kinda got in the way. Brother got married, etc, and struggles to find time to work on it. But he got a burst of motivation recently and has been making time here and there on it. Baby steps...

@pip-bip So many spare parts... I wonder how many running Jeeps you could build from that lot

@Noodles Thanks! I really appreciate that!

@Just-Jeepin we haven't had rain in weeks. You could send it this way and we'd be appreciative!

@ash78 The GC, like all so many stellantis products, is a very attractive thing for performance and price. If only they had a reputation for being well made, they'd really have something.

@Just-Jeepin said in Shakamak: a week in review (part 1, the pics):

Yesterday I washed her 3 times.

Not sure why but I Lol'd reading this.

@Just-Jeepin Interesting! Hadn't heard that one!

@pip-bip One of these grilles is not like the other, one of these grilles just doesn't belong.

@1969r16 Nice one! I've seen them at shows but never gotten to drive/ride in one. They were common rental cars in the Caribbean until about a decade ago. We could never rent one, because we always had to lug around my wife's diving gear, so we always had to rent a pickup or Jimny instead. Feel like I missed out.

@Just-Jeepin Heck of a build. Looks like it got the whole aftermarket catalog thrown at it

Disappointing, usually there’s one really cool extensive build or restomod alongside the dozen Wranglers and Gladiators with mopar accessories, but looks like there isn’t one this year.

yeah the white top is awesome and so is tan 😎

I saw a 4-door tuscadero with a tan top last week

Jeep needs to offer the cool colors across their entire lineup

@phenotyp true! but those were pretty much flights of fancy, and all their production cars took after the 'cab forward' concepts

@pip-bip
I thought all Jeeps were this wobbly...

@pip-bip tis' horrible

I feel like every store I go into these days the hot wheels are slim pickins.

@pip-bip Looks lovely. But question, this thing rocking a different drivetrain? Weird hood bump and second fill location.

@Just-Jeepin oof, you think that's bad. Tonight my wife was beating herself up about some dumb little issue. I told her it's important to embrace your mistakes, then she hugged me.

@CarsOfFortLangley it's most likely due to extreme drought conditions. I've never seen the state not under a drought condition in the 5 years I've lived here though.

Let me just say I love the color of that Jeep. Good for you. To much black/white/tan everywhere. God bless Dodge for throwing out the wild colors. And Porsche for opening up the colors from the past.

That is true, you could get the diesel in the US, I saw one years ago.

@just-jeepin said in Some Florida vehicles:

That’s clearly a “you had to be there” gif. As someone who never watches Clarkson, what’s the context?

I don't remember the rest of the episode, but from what I can glean from this short clip, James has just walked up to Jeremy and Richard and these girls, the sight of whom stops James in his tracks. He proceeds to awkwardly introduce himself with a simple "hello", in stark contrast to the flirty banter his co-hosts have been entertaining the girls with.

@bandit Chrysler has been pushing for an EV drop across the lineup of every brand for awhile now. To be fair, I think theyve only got 1 shot to get it right. So taking the time to get Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, and Ram all on the same page is a great start. I mean we see now the Jeep e models expanding and doing well, so the hope here is that they will do the same with EV's.

@pip-bip I had a friend in college that had a Eclipse GST, that thing could haul!

@silentbutnotreallydeadly This is trying to reassure the typical Jeep Grand Wagoneer buyer that it's OK for them to check out an Eagle when they bring it in for servicing, because the typical Grand Wagoneer owner owned at least 2 other cars, and those 2 other cars were invariably West German

the pink dash looks awesome 😎

@davesaddiction I need to get me that set... mostly for the tires 🙂

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas It does look significantly different, heavy shade vs sun. Much prefer it under the sun.

@manwich Oof, I don't get paid enough to look at pictures of a 1st gen Compass haha

@HFV Agreed. I wouldn't have minded a few OG Wagoneer cues either. I guess they're just relying on the giant lettering on all sides to do the talking...

@streetsofperth I’m impressed, but it’s probably only good relative to a carpet-less oft-naked TJ.

@just-jeepin Maybe a bright pink Jeep will be harder to miss than a bright yellow one.

@just-jeepin That could be taken so many ways...

@just-jeepin Don't take it so literally 😉

It has the Icon wheels which are best wheels on a XJ. Fight me.

@bloody-the-resident-landrover-apologist said in A quick BaT alert:

@just-jeepin man, a LJ being worth more than a clean Packard is just weird. Times are changing.

The Packard won in the end, barely.

@wbizarre Don’t know, I don’t take the time to read much. Looks purty or otherwise interesting, share it.

@just-jeepin It looks like Jeeps are like Land Rovers; you park one up and they seem to find friends.

@just-jeepin

What a great pair!

Glad you're so pleased with the new one.

6th gear is around 75mph.

I WISH my Tacoma had an overdrive like this. I'm in sixth by 55 or 60 mph, and turning way too many revs at 85... (speed limit on the highway closest to me is 80).

@just-jeepin
Ok, got it.

@davesaddiction said in Inspired by Stef, aided by a friend…:

@just-jeepin

So, how's the feel of the clutch/transmission?

(not like the one in my Tacoma's great either)

Finally posted about it, ICYMI.

@gmporschenut-also-a-fan-of-hondas I didn’t know that, good tip thanks.

Waterfall is definitely McCormick’s Creek. Flooded road is McGowan adjacent to the Northfork Waterfowl refuge.

@italianjobr53 ha! Based on the title I can guess it must be about @Just-Jeepin 🤣

@urambo-tauro do oil coat, not undercoat

@just-jeepin @ 5 years ago i flew into southern indiana monday for an internal company planning meeting when 5-8" of snow were expected tuesday. being from the northeast we thought this will be annoying. we met for a couple hours, there was a weird vibe and then they were like "we really want to get home, the county only has 8 plows"
"uh what?"
Ive never seen so little snow cause such a shitshow. cars spinning out, 2wd trucks jsut flooring it "oh god please dont connect and rocket into someone"
next day was even crazier as another 6+ iinches dropped and shut everything down. we booked the hotels conf room. they were even able to round up some sandwiches. and a few of the people were able to make it in so wasnt a total loss of the day. everynow and then someone would go to look outside"holy crap its stil crazy out there" we finally went and treked out into the storm to grab dinner.. It was so crazy being in a place without a lot of plows.

@italianjobr53 @AestheticsInMotion Thanks! I'd be happy to help if other Oppos want their vehicles to be drawn. I'm running out of vehicles that I'm interested to draw these days.

@just-jeepin Not for me. Matter of taste though, if you like it (and you clearly do!), then great!

@just-jeepin The two best Jeep colors. Period. I'm so happy for you.

@just-jeepin I had missed the notice, I'm glad its finally arrived!
Enjoy it in good health.
