I'm curious to know how many of you guys have had other Jeeps previously vs. how many of you are first time Jeep owners.

I gotta be honest, I do not currently own a Jeep. I will be purchasing either a Liberty or Cherokee within the month. I'm taking my time to find the right one. Whichever way I go, it will be my first Jeep. I've always wanted one, but haven't found one I wanted when I was looking. Now I'm commited. I have to have one.

I have a 2002 CRD Liberty (Cherokee here in SA).
Before that I had only saloon cars and a Landrover Freelander which really was rubbish.
Love my Jeep and intend keeping it forever but the newer KJs made after 2002 seem to have more problems reported by owners!

bought my fist jeep in 04 (a rubicon) then got a second one shortly after (XJ) and ended up replacing it with our third (KJ). Don't plan on owning another brand now.

just south of doucheville
'92 YJ
'94 YJ
'02 TJ
'03 KJ
That are the Jeeps
Got the KJ before the TJ
as far as they go the KJ was 10X better on road
stock form the wranglers were all better off road
I also owned a 4X4 Ranger which was bout the same as the
KJ on and off road but it got better mpg and had the same
HP rating and I was able to regear to 4.56 ,this was a '98 so it
was the first year they were full IFS not TTB and was able to fit
and handle 33's easily due to 4" lift options

I left off the 2wd truck's ,4 of them
and the 3 cars

I'm so jealous, I'd give my left.....,well y'know, for a project CJ to work on :gr_grin:

My Libby was the "gateway drug" into Jeep fever. Since buying it I bought a YJ and now I wheel with both.

My first Jeep was a 1977 Grand Wagoneer. Wood grain and all. 360/auto/quadratrac. Drove the crap out of it in highschool and really enjoyed it at the drive in.

My first Jeep was a 96 XJ which I bought in 2000. Drove it for 8 years and finally got rid of it with 197k on the odo.

Bought my KJ in Oct 2008, after giving up on finding another Cherokee with low miles. Never figured I say this, but I like the Liberty better.

I'm on my first one too. Wanted a Wrangler real bad after I got my license, but even then they were too rich for my McJob salary. I ended up with a POS Pontiac Sunbird instead. :pp:
