I got pics last winter in downtown of mine next to a brand new one...I hate how big the new ones are it's crazy.
There are like three of them when parent are at the HS here...but the people driving the new ones don't seem to pay hardly any attention to the outside world and are off in their cyberspace. Ok that's not fair, but they never look at the SJ twice, and it's BRIGHT blue.
The irony (to me) is how much older ours are, and they still get the same mileage, and will carry almost as much inside, AND you get to be cool while doing it
BTW your rig looks really good.Current Rig:
'71 Wagoneer (DD)
B350/TH400/D20
open knuckle D44 front (disc brakes)
6-lug conversion rear

Previous Rig:
Tan '88 Grand Wagoneer
.030 over 401, TBI, headers
3" exhaust
31x10.5s
2" rear lift blocks
custom headliner

Kinda funny. I wonder what the guy's thoughts were parking next to you. Maybe to impress you with how far the Wag has come? Pfft. Camaraderie? Well, it's a Jeep.Sic friatur crustulum

I don't hate the new ones. I am also a little bummed they didn't throw us old FSJs a little more of a bone with styling cues.
I see them all over Boise. I sat in one at the dealer last weekend and its as nice as you would think a $100k SUV would be. Only 40 years and 350k miles until I can afford one!Last edited by rang-a-stang; 11-29-2022, 12:02 PM.79 Cherokee Chief (SOLD, goodbye old buddy) https://forums.ifsja.org/core/images/smilies/frown.png

Yes keeping some of the old body lines similar to the late model muscle cars would have been cool. Camaro's, Challengers, Mustangs etc.. You can see the resemblance. Wagoneers are so darn cool.. I just can't get over that..-----------------------

We're obviously not the market they are aiming at. It's funny to me that the commercial for it I've seen has only about a one second shot of an original. I guess they don't want potential buyers to get too nostalgic.Sic friatur crustulum

Full Size Jeeper is a car guy,
because he parked as far over to the right as he could
so the car in the next spot would not hit his with their door !!!
i have done that many times.
and yes your FSJ is much more fun than than the new GW.
the new G.W.'s just look like a tahoe.SOLSAKS - dave
