I stopped by the Jeep dealer on the way home from work yesterday to poke around, ended up the proud owner of a new Wrangler.








2006 Wrangler X. 4.0L 6 speed, khaki inside and out, cloth top with soundbar.

 

You're crazy....



But congrats...!!

 

Congrats BEERTOOT, er BEETROOT!

 

It's Rootbeer :shakehead

 

congrats

 

You are seriously the most spur of the moment e-person I know..

 

How are you liking the Jeep?

 

did you at least lease?

 

wrong forum...


every car dealers dream. they can spot a sucker from a mile away

 

What no power windows?
What are you using it for?
Have you driven them before? They are not the best thing to daily drive/live with.
But I guess good luck with it.

 

love it.

yep

Wasn't sure if the new car threads went there or here, feel free to move

Guilty as charged for the sucker comment.

Yeah none of them on the lot had power anything, I don't think its an option.

daily driver

Thats what they said about the s2k...

but yeah I've driven them before, always wanted my own.

 

I owned one for four years Beet. Enjoy it, its great fun. I would suggest you hit the mountains if you are near any.

 

Joedokes and I hit the mountains the weekend before last, I had a blast. Definitely influenced my opinion.

 

Get some half-doors, and some bigger tires. The Old Man Emu shocks are leaps and bounds better as far as ride is concerned.

 

my dads Unlimited is that same color. they're fun around town rigs, not so much for road trips etc...


btw, congrats.

 

Isn't a new model coming out in 07?

Very nice BTW, though get rid of those wheels, or at least have them powdercoated black.

Mike

 

Oh yeah... and don't keep anyhting valuable in it. Keep the doors unlocked. The stock center console is useless for keeping anyhting of value. Get a Tuffy Box that is actually made of steel, and mounts underneath the back seat.

 

Congrats on the new truck.

I thought the reason you got rid of the S2000 was to get rid of car payments though?

 

congrats

 

Congrats Matt, I know you were having issues with that jeep you inherited, and a new Jeep is probably a pretty decent car for AZ...



I saw this dude post in 2G CL yesterday.... Join date back in 2001...

btw... greenie moved the thread.

 

Beet, i've got a really good buddy in Phoenix w/ a jeep that goes off roading a lot. I'll have to get you in touch w/ him

 

you read a thread and got a car??? and it wasn't even the same car mentioned in the thread? lol.

That's gonna be nice with the top down and the doors off.

 

gracias.

yeah I don't drive too far, flagstaff would be the furthest away and thats less than 2 hours.

yeah new model comes out soon, I like this one though, and new models won't have employee pricing deal.

Wheels and tires will be the first things to go...


I'll look into that box. Definitely not keeping anything worth anything in this, not even upgrading the stereo.

It was, but my other jeep is nickel and diming me to death. My windshield wipers stopped working, which I found out is probably a $350 repair. That was a the last straw...if I'm going to be paying bills for a car, might as well be lease payments for a new one instead of maintaining some old hunk of crap.




just gotta get rid of these street tires first.


yeah but I went to jeep.com to check out colors, got sidetracked, and here I am. Can't wait till the weather cools down.

 

I freakin' love Wranglers, always have always will. Half doors are the first thing I'd do, but enjoy that thing

 

what are half doors... those are the doors with the plastic window?

 

 

Looks good, congrats.......Wranglers are cool, enjoy and have fun with it.

Also, if you drive with the doors off. Please be smart and use the seatbelt, but I'm sure you know that.

I'm always happy help inspire others to spend money.

 

Congrats.

 

Nice Rootbeer-looks nothing like my 94 inside (luckily for you). Enjoy the ride!

 

www.quadratec.com if you want to get into modding

The doors that mclarenf3387 posted are the half doors, but if you dont mind seeing the road a bit more, these are awesome:

 

Holy crap, youre retarded

Ive always liked Wranglers...in fact, thats what I wanted my first car to be. I ended up with a Ford Escort

Wish I could see the pics. Are they down or is it linked from myspace?

 

they should work... linked from photobucket...

 

Awesome BEET

Enjoy and don't fall out while off-roading with the doors off!

 

It's probably too hot in AZ to ride around w/ the doors off isn't it?

 

Always wanted a wrangler. Congrats!

 

THIS PAGE should give you enough ideas to empty out the wallet. I love the work AEV does on Jeeps. Just don't expect them to reply to an e-mail

 

I just picked up one too to replace my TL and I love it so far. Mine is a 99, 4.0 auto, full doors, soundbar, soft/hard tops, and I bought a bikini top too (it's a soft top material that just covers the front two seats, from the sound bar forward to the windshield)

 

Its cooling down, by September it probably won't get over 100.



Thanks man, I've been trying to find out who makes these wheels for 2 days.

 

Damn, Beet, another car?

And to think you got rid of the S2K...
