I cant wait to see yall put this thing to the test. Always was a fan of the old jeep truck conversions of the 90's and early 00's so seeing a legit factory one is awesome!!

[@StreetersGarage]

Congratulations on the purchase. My stepson has a 21 Gladiator Rubicon 6sp Manual that he daily’s and wheels on the weekend. He loves it. It’s been pretty reliable in the 3 years he’s owned it. My wife is trading in her 13 JKU tomorrow on a new 4XE. She had the JKU for 5 years and it only has 78k miles on it.

Wow, I can't not like this for the money! Nevermind the 37s for a daily driver unless brake upgrade? I dont know what factory used.

Sweet Jeep 👍

[@CrunchyTahoe]

New toys are always exciting. Hope it treats ya'll well.

The paint will start bubbling year 3 on hindges and hood (aluminum). Smart move on 23

Not the biggest fan of wranglers, but that’s an awesome unit. Congrats on the good buy!

I had no idea that Mojave trim level really had anything special about aside from BNG. Very cool!

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

I hadn't looked in years and had long forgotten. Honestly, for the wife's daily, it rides great on and offroad, and we can easily load up our little gear and go camping or whatever as well.

[@azroadposer]

Cool Jeep, Mohave sounds like a great package. Got the right color 👍

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

For us it was the best one we can just throw our stuff in and go have fun immediately

[@eazhar]

Congrats. Wasn’t sure if you mentioned it in the video but was there a technical reason outside of price you guys passed on the 4 runner?

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

Slow af, loud af, dated interior, worse ride off road than the Jeep. Almost identical to the FJ we sold five years ago in most ways, for 1/3 more price than we paid for the FJ new

Man. Some judgmental stooopit bullshit in the comments. Im watching this on my phone on my OM617 wrangler. That i love. It takes some real ignorance to tell anyone. What they should or should not like. We are different. And thats why the free market is so lively and full of choices. Cuz we all line different things for different reasons. Jr might not like my om617 jeep. I do. I like all your content brother love the new ride. Congrats on finding some happiness in this life. (This is why making videos isnt a big priority for me) whiney judgey fucks thats do nuttin.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

I do like your Jeep though lol. Stuff like that doesn't bother me, if it weren't for critics idk who would be watching 😂

[@AlfonsLC]

@@TheDrivewayEngineer i was thinking about you when i was driving it today. As i was passing other old jeep going uphill 15 miles per hour faster than any of them. I guess i should replace not like. With not for you ? Ehhh. Im just sad that old engine went so bad for you.

[@samuelmcgill-rl3lb]

i think you did good ,long wheel base isnt great for off road but is great for a decent ride .i dont know about you ,but as i get older ,i tend to appreciate smooth ride and QUIET ,going down the road more than i used to .ENJOY ,happy trails .

[@blackmanops3749]

I'm disappointed in you, but I cant say I'm surprised. I'm a pseudo car guy and even I talk the talk and walk the walk. My daily's are 97 exploder, 2000 silverado, and a 2000 Saab 95. I'm building a 2500 plow/tow truck. Im rebuilding a burned 3500 dump. I have never and will never buy new. Its crazy. I know, good for me and woppity doo. My point is that credibility and respect are diminished for those putting car content like yours on KZbin, but behind the ecenes driving fancy new cars, trucks and trailers. I guess this is where channels like yours and mine will diverge. That said, it is a nice car, but I'd go for the teal myself.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

I buy a new car every five years 😂

[@TallGarage]

@@TheDrivewayEngineer bruh what is this dude smoking? lol

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

I'm apparently obligated to have to rebuild engines on the side of the highway with a branch and a rock just because I tell people not to take out second mortgages to fund a hobby 😂

[@epiquetreasures2987]

You apparently missed where this is my daily driver? Not my husband's. I am nurse we live in Michigan, and I have to be able to get to work safely in a reliable vehicle. The patients need us there.
