JEEP = Just Everyone Else's Parts. I am a "Jeep" fan having several from many different brands. IMO the new ones are overpriced, find a decent use one (personally I like the TJ as a base) and make it what you want. "Jeeps" are a love em or hate em type of vehicle. There is really nothing exceptional about the vehicles in all the incarnations other than the sheer popularity of the aftermarket. Jeep is a bit like Harley-Davidson your kinda just buying into the name and a group of people (all pretty nice BTW).

AMC CJ5 also have a Kaiser CJ5 Renegade I (not picutured)

Willys-Overland "Jeep" pickup

Recent acquisition from the Mopar years (also have an AMC 84 Cherokee Chief with the GM 2.8, not pictured)
