You are reading my mind, my man! And it comes with a manual!

Looks good to me!

In 2019, you can buy, new:

Not gonna lie this is the first Jeep I would spend my money on since the YJ.

My thought is that finally Jeep is making a family overland vehicle. I would love a diesel one, put a shell and roof-top tent on it and take it out on extended off-roading trips.

Self-promotion time. In preparation for today’s unveiling I assembled a history of Jeep trucks, since no one (myself included) seems to remember that Jeep not only once built trucks, but did so for 45 years continuously.

When dealing with the stress of people with whom you share genetic material and not much else in close quarters with naught but football and dry poultry whose lack of seasoning is papered over with butter (*blech*), you need to use a pincer movement to really be able to destress.

Add to that, it has caused so much of the US educational system’s resources to be spent on sports, rather than, well educa…

It’s a lot easier to take risks when you know that you can fail and not end up homeless. It’s a lot easier to quit your day job and open your own business when you know you’ll have health insurance.
