I love my WJ, but it doesn't get as much use these days. Here are some old photos of a WJ having fun:

Amazing pics Geoffff! I bought my first WJ (04) in ‘07. Did all my own work on it and fell in love with the platform. After a bunch of full size (mostly Dodge, one GMC and one Ford) I keep coming back to the WJ. Now at close to 20 years old, I find myself daydreaming about upgrading parts and doing my best to make this one last for many more years. I feel it’s the perfect vehicle for my needs. Many more adventures to come!

I love the simplicity of the Quadra-Drive 4x4 system with its automatic mechanical gerotor locking system. No electronics to fail! And the sound and torque of that 4.7l V8 engine (though sadly it does chug gasoline like it's Gatorade). I bought mine new in 2000, with factory skid plates, and immediately blacked out the wheels with a rattle can. No one was doing black wheels back then. The white "nostrils" are PIAA driving lamps I added, but they were a bit disappointing. Slightly oversize tires. Otherwise it's stock.

Well this was a great Jeep for me and it has gone to a great new home. The last picture I took of it. Replaced with a 2022 Nissan Frontier.
