My wife and I walked over Rio Grand Bridge last fall on a trip, pretty breathtaking.  

My kids will be writing similar adds when I’m gone.

Put the price minimum at $100 and click owners only, that will filter out 90% at least in my area

I have seen several accidents back in the 90's where the vehicle had a fuel cut off switch, not sure how it was activated, but it was not dependent on airbag. My friend once set one off when sighting in a rifle using the hood as a bench rest.

Mechanically these are very similar to CJ’s of the same era, part for the drive train would not be an issue. Many body panels are available, and those that aren’t could be fabricated due to the simple shapes.

Most people are not willing or interested in taking on a project like this regardless of price.

The craiglist add now links to an auction so you’re unlikely to get this at 2500.

I can’t believe that power companies aren’t getting in the market of supplying chargers for overnight charging. As I understand it off peak power prices are very low compared to the retail price we pay.  They could make a huge profit selling cheap off peak power at retail rates.

If I could only own one vehicle it would probably be this.  

Jeep’s Grand Cherokee 4xe, may not be all electric, but has 25 miles of all electric range and around 5-6k towing, starts at 58k, but likely would be more decently equipped.

It’s not a true ev, but I crunched the numbers on a Wrangler 4xe and compared it to the standard wrangler. Using my electric rate which varies annually but averages $0.075 / kwh, the jeeps 49 mpge vs 20 mpg for a standard and 4 dollar gas. Running on electric cost $0.057 per mile vs $0.20 for gas. Payback period is…

I would assume virtually no difference, they are both metered through the same electric meter, The only conceivable difference would be resistance in the circuit and/or charger efficiency which could favor either option, but not enough to be more than a rounding error.

This is a good one, I’ve considered replacing my full size truck with a mid size now that they have the towing capacity I need, but after driving a rental Tacoma the other week, it felt just as big when maneuvering, but much smaller inside than my truck, with a much lower towing/payload capacity.  My parents ranger…

I’ve noticed that the “latest” is only three stories now, so if it doesn’t get enough “clicks” or whatever metric to move to the top of the page, it’s pretty easy to miss a story these days.

The soft top isn’t that hard to put up, not as easy as pushing a button but doable.  The biggest problem is they are best enjoyed without the doors which leaves you pretty vulnerable to weather even if you put the top up.

already had the link copied, you beat me by seconds

My parents had more model loyalty than brand loyalty.  dad farmed and drove 3 Ford f series for nearly four decades and still has a ranger in retirement. Mom had a mixture when I was young but got a Cherokee when i was about 12 and drove that and later 3 different era grand Cherokees for about 30 years. She finally…

I agree with the efficiencies argument, and I don’t see hydrogen really working good in this context either, just based on the size of tanks necessary to even “sorta” replicate the current range/power requirements these vehicles have. Equally battery electric doesn’t seem practical either with our current technology.

That’s my guess I’ve rented a lot over the years and most suck, but I’ve had hemi challengers, gt and eco boost mustangs, but the stranger ones are TRD Tacoma or even trailhawk Jeeps which seem odd for a rental

I got a stick shift mustang once which blew my mind I've rented hundreds of cars through work over the last twenty years and never had a manual
