Pete M Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 It's all about practice and the desire to succeed. You'd be surprised what one can accomplish if the alternative is walking in the snow. :D
Sir Sam Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 It could not have been 5 years old. KJ CRDs were only sold in 2005 and 2006. OK, 4 1/2 years old :D Yes, have looked at some of the WK's :thumbsup:but the wife only wants a local vehicle :wall: CRDs did not start shipping untill February of 2005 in the US. Thats barely 4 years old now, at the oldest.
aemsee Posted January 27, 2009 Posted January 27, 2009 Anyone have a WK CRD? If so what do you get in real word MPG??? The one we have at work (well, when I was working) would get an honest 24 to 26 average city highway. And it had 3:73's. They come with 3:55's as well. I bet that with the 3:55's you could see 28 easy. With the 3:73's it was turning about 2300 RPM at 70 MPH. The torque is rated at almost 400 lb/ft at 1800 rpm. I think. No need for the 3:73's. They came with the towing package.

We can toss the build date around :D but it's an 05 which makes it a 4 1/2yr old model, but then you have the new 2010 Mercedes GLK-350 and 2010 FORD Fusion, Mustang out which makes it a 5yr old model vehicle :nuts:

You'd be surprised what one can accomplish if the alternative is walking in the snow. :D The wife had a 5 speed 26 years ago but went down hill :nuts: and NO the alternative is making my life a living he!! :yes: As for daughter, she has trouble with the auto stick after all this time :doh: so I just have to give all hope up on her :cheers:
aemsee Posted January 28, 2009 Posted January 28, 2009 I feel your pain. Taught my wife to drive a stick before we were married. Not a pretty picture. Had to make sure this MJ was an auto so she could run to the local Ag store for mulch and stuff. Someday I will find the CJ that I've always wanted and it will definitely be a manual. If for no other reason than she won't drive it
