What year rig to you wheel?

[RockMonkey]

The buggy is a 2005, and the TJ is a 1997.

 

[RockCrushinToy]

1986 sas toy pick up, and its still as reliable as the day it came off the show floor

 

[Rodeoman]

1997 Isuzu Rodeo

Sometimes newer stuff is great, sometimes the simplicity of older stuff is great.

Agree completely with that. My 48 chevy and 78 subaru where easy to work on. Not so now with all the computers and technical junk.

It is also scarry to realize that vehicles built when I was in high school are now classics to many.

 

[cambam]

81 CJ 7. I got it when I was in 10th grade.

 

[Shawn]

1974/2005 FJ40 (or what is left)
1967 Jeepster Commando

 

[greenjeep]

1968 Commando, with a much newer drivetrain.
1984 CJ-7, with a 97 TJ frame and suspension.

Wife has a 1998 XJ.

When I was-

15 yrs old 1949 CJ-2A
22 yrs old 1957 CJ-5
26 yrs old 1973 CJ-5
28 yrs old 1978 CJ-7 (current project!)

I'll be lucky to be wheeling something from the 90's by the time I die!

Cj-5

Mine is a '63 Jeep CJ-5. Needs tons of work, but fun when it runs.

Old Iron is the way to go.

 

[Tacoma]

in 1978, a 55 Chevy was a mere 23yrs old. Today, that same split gets you the best that 1983 had to offer, which isn't much.

 

[Risky Bidness]

1988 Bronco II

86 CJ-7 I bought new, steering wheel is about the only remaining stock part.

that gives me another thought (sorry I think too much)...how many of the older rigs being used where purchased and started being wheeled new or fairly new and then just kept (as appoesed to buying it older).....more useless food for thought.

I've only bought two vehicles with less than 50K on them in my life. (one we still have---'96 ZJ at 125K) My XJ I bought with about 120K on it and ran it to 185K.

 

[Unimog]

My 84 Unimog 416 is pretty new for that model. Not that you could tell a 69 from a 88 by just looking.
