Yeah, the fact that the new Wrangler engine isn’t available with a manual is depressing. I’d otherwise be quite interested.

With all their other successes, it seems lone redneck truck drivers are the only thing that can take down their entire team.

looks like the G’s signature triple locking differentials are still in place

I guess its cool that they are keeping boxy fashionable? Thats all I got.

...That Digital Gauge Cluster... Maybe I was ahead of the curve for JNC in the 90's, or never grew out of my affinity for 80's design (disclaimer: I never did), but I enjoyed reading that cluster every day. Strangely, mine would default to Kph regularly, and I never got the hang of getting it to take to Mph. I only…

There were a whole bunch of Celica XX trims, all straight sixes. The 2000GT Twincam24 introduced the 1G-GE 24-valve motor in 1985.

Unless I’m reading it wrong, Mk-2's employed only versions of the I-6, one being a 24valve.
I had an ‘81 L-Type A60 in high school. But was unsure if I had the 5M-E or -GE. Trust me, this commercial took me back to when I first laid eyes on the faded blue and black, sharp angled Celica-Supra I took home that December…

I think the only day to day problem that comes up with Jeeps is that they dont automatically hold the doors open so any hill means the door will close on you. Other than that you dont need to handle great in day to day traffic. Offroad suspensions soak up bumps great and where else can you get a 4 door manual…

What do you care what other people drive? I need a 4x4 in winter, love driving with top and doors off, find the ride not that big a deal (helps me avoid speeding tickets since it feels like the vehicle is going faster ), and like the looks of it. I do take mine off road 2-3 times a year, but do I need a Jeep? No, I…

Same reason someone will pay 80k for a Z06 that will rarely see over 70 and see the track once in it’s life. They want it, and they can.

History, nostalgia, wide open driving, off-roading. I wouldn’t want anything else. Sure, an S2000 would be fun, but I can’t take the doors off and drop the windshield.

Venue required cardboard under every car.

You should actually follow his YouTube channel, it’s pretty entertaining for this kind of stuff.

Ah nerts, I was just writing this up for oppo. Oh well.

Dang, and here I thought it was because Brian owed Dom a 10-second car.

You’re basing the price of a V12 bank vault 4WD military vehicle-turned-luxury transporter on the 0-60 time?

Bullshit. I, and a large portion of the engineers I’ve ever worked with, do tons of wrenching in our spare time. We’re very aware of what servicing something is going to be like when we design it. That’s our job. Sometimes, when we see something is going to be a pain to work on, we design it that way anyway. That’s…

I’m not sure what happened in that instance, but I’d rather ride the rim to the next exit where I can safely put the spare on. I can get a new rim.

Corollary: If you cannot get safely off the highway, go ahead and drive without a tire until you can.

Torch, how can you mention Daihatsu in the US market and not say anything about the Rocky?!? It was actually a competent off-roader and stout as hell.
