When was the last time you drove a Wrangler or CJ?

[Comanche County]

Yes no appendages or torso damage because I used my face to cushion the impact. I like my MJ a lot better, it's bigger, heavier, wider, more stable and the hydro clutch and AX15 make it easy. It drives and shifts like a Rolls Royce compared to any CJ I've driven. Long gear throws and the road manners of a 1946 one ton truck. They're fun and cool, but for me, I get irritated driving them on the road. Loud, slow, leaky tops, awful handling, I still like em though.

For sure. CJ's are definitely an "Enthusiast" vehicle. If you don't enjoy the spirit of driving the thing the first time out, you never will.

Took the teardrop for a test drive recently behind my JK.

 

 

And then used the on board air compressor to air up the daily driver.

Had an XJ with an AX15 and the clutch was a switch. Maybe 1/32" traver between fully engaged and fully disengaged. Clutch on my AX5 is great, though. About the only great thing on that drive train,

Closest I've had is a Postal Jeep with the Audi 2.0L (and that was fun!) Sold it last summer to a guy that's swapping an Audi diesel in it's place.
