Thank You everyone for your input. Ultimately we still went with Jeep. We've been happy with it so far, already put a few hundred miles on it in less than week. One of the big deciding factors to the purchase was the warranty i was able to get with it. A 7 year, Unlimited miles, Bumper to Bumper...
Thank you for the reply. I've noticed that about the Latitude not having "low" gear. Also, I don't think it had a rear locker either. I might be wrong on that on though.
As far as fan boys go, I'm actually partial to the Subaru but don't want to opt for the CVT for same reasons you mentioned...
That makes sense. One of the reasons I was looking at the jeep is the price isn't to bad, I feel. Looking at some the subarus in my area, I would pay more and most likely end up with something that has a CVT transmission. I want to avoid those transmissions if I can, mainly worried about it...
Absolutely. I understand vehicle choice is about personal preference. That said, I also enjoy input from others. Whether from experience or just opinions.
One day I'd like to go a little further off the beaten path but not sure far I'd like to take it. I love some of the videos and photos I've...
I really enjoyed the Subaru. Mostly looking to switch it up a little. I may even end up with another one. I planned on taking a few days to test drive vehicles and see what I like and don't like.
Honest question: why is there so much dislike for the Jeeps from people? not singling you out, i see it multiple places and a lot of it has to do with the fact that FIAT makes them. Is it that bad of a vehicle?
Insurance declared it a total loss. So i am back to square one. As far as what i will get? Kinda depends on what i find within a reasonable budget that i like.
I recently wrecked my Subaru Outback. It is an unfortunate event but no one was hurt so that is good. Earlier this afternoon the insurance called and told me its deemed a "total loss". So, now i have get a new rig.
I curious to see what the community suggests as a replacement rig. I was...
Unfortunately i wrecked mine this last week. Combination of bad weather and heavy traffic. The damage looks mostly superficial, there is some frame damage, possibly will not see my rig again. It's a waiting game with insurance at the moment.
The positive side of things, no one was injured.
I...
I really like the look of those sliders. Overall your build is looking really good. Definitely one i use as inspiration for what i want to with my outback eventually, as needed. So far i haven't needed much more than a good set of tires.
I have said it before and I'll say it again. I really like what you have done with your rig. I plan on doing something similar with mine but progress is very slow due to work/budget reasons. Question though, with this new rack, can you use it for storage still? or is it only to hold the RTT...
Hmmm, for some reason i am unable to upload photos off my laptop. Even in when trying to start a new thread. Until i can figure it out, I won't be able to put up photos. Sorry guys.
Will definitely keep it in mind. We had an absolutely good time this trip to Arizona. Wish we had more time do and see more things. Thank you to everyone for the suggestions. I'll try to get some photos up on this thread later this week. Work has kept me busy since getting home.
Sorry about that. It was straight back to work once i got back. Haven't had a whole lot of time to follow up yet. But a quick run down, we checked out Tombstone and the graveyard there. I followed up on the recommendation to go to the Queens Mine tour in Bisbee (i believe that was the town). My...
I've returned from my trip. Thank you everyone for all suggestions, there more than i could fit into my trip this time around. My family and i had a great time. I'll make a follow up post when i have more time.
