Sounds like the dependability issues stem from user error, lol. Don't wanna break it, don't drive into giant puddles.

XJ?2010

yeah i will admit it was my fault but the tranny has always shifted wrong as of right now the XJ is going on a modifcation diet.

Ive had my Jeep for like 2 months now and I think it has spent more time i the garage being worked on then on the road. I traded my 98 Camaro for it because Im going to Alaska. This is the first Jeep and 4x4 I have ever owned. So far I have spent like 1200 dollars just getting it right. From rear end repair to new front drive shaft, massive tune up and I still have parts and other s**t to do to it. Most of it from the idiot that owned it before me. As my uncle always said this guy road it hard and parked it wet!! But I am having fun and learning alot. My wife hates it but I love the damn thing. I go wheelin with my buddies and even though It still has some issues, I am out wheelin them every time. I have not got this thing stuck once and I have been in some hairy stuff. Just take your time and do what you can. I know from experience that if you get rid of it you will regret it. As stated before, get you a little hoopty to DD and build the Jeep. You will have some fun in the future when it is all fixed up!!

you still at ft riley i just got out on the 29th of jan there is some really good wheelin up there if you know where to go. just dont get caught on the back roads on post. and if you get the chance briggs throws a jeep jamboree thats pretty cool

GreenClassic

I hope you don't sell it, you're getting it the way you like it. Put in that stroker engine you keep talking about if you do need a new engine.

ArmySgt97

Yeah Im still here at Fort Riley, until Late May anyway. Im getting ready to PCS to Alaska. From what I understand about Fort Riley is you just have to go to outdoor rec. and get a vehicle pass. They give you a map of where you can go. I have been thinking about checking it out before I leave. I have been going to Tuttle Creek. They have some good trails up there. What did you do in the Army? Congrats on Getting out if that is what you wanted!

Keep it and buy a beater to drive so you can get your jeep up to par and how you want it man

GTABurnout

I am with you 100% I have a love hate relationship with my XJ. I dump time and money in to it and it responds by braking or becoming undrivable. There are days I wish I had just gone with a nicer newer truck for wehat I want to accomplish with my cherokee.

Now its starting to cometogather so I am waiting it out but I am almost sure it will let me down again.

Yep!!! That sounds about right, all jeeps are money pits especialy when you start doing mods and using them offroad.

pwn

honestly, if we couldnt work on them / beat on them, would we own them? i think not.
