I think it is great to see the newer Liberty's are looking more and more simular to the older XJ's.

Makes me more curious about them every year, lol

Real Jeeps have solid front axles and round headlights.  O.||||||.O

YJ's and XJ's are not real Jeeps?

Square headlights...

Nope, they are Chrysler abortions...

Right...gotcha.
:fire.:

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

To hunt and butcher an animal is to recognize that meat is not some abstract form of protein that springs into existence tightly wrapped in cellophane and styrofoam.

Just put the down payment on a 2012 jeep wrangler Sahara. It's a surprise for the wife when she gets home in April. Hopefully she will let me drive it. I'll still be driving my 2000 Chevy Silverado for a while.

My wife wants a Jeep so now i just have to figure out how i'm gona get this bad boy in the States Jeep  J8. I'm not sure why they don't sell this damn thing here! Jeep would OWN the market with its 4 door version.  :twocents:
http://www.allpar.com/SUVs/jeep/J8.html
The J8 is essentially a beefed up 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited; the frame was reinforced to allow more abuse and greater payloads, up to a maximum of 1,339 kg (2,952 lbs.). Axles, brakes and suspension components were upgraded, and the rear suspension was replaced by a traditional, tough leaf-spring system. The rear axle is a Dana 60, with 4.1 ratio and 2,273 kg capacity; the front is a heavy-duty, 1,764-kg capacity model. The NVG 241 transfer case has a 1.0:1 high gear and 2.72:1 low gear, with a 4.10:1 final drive gear ratio. Dual 12V, 850 cca batteries are fed by a 180 amp alternator; four 12V outlets are provided in front and rear. The factory can fit a 12V to 24V DC converter (45 amps), Euro IV emissions, and full size doors with windup windows.
The engine is a 2.8-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel rated at an impressive 118 kW (158 hp) and 400 Nm (295 lb.-ft.) of torque, with towing capability of up to 3,500 kg (7,716 lbs.). A five-speed Chrysler 545RFE automatic transmission connects to the Command-TracŪ four wheel drive system.

The J8 also has a unique air intake with Donaldson air filtration and a hood-mounted snorkel to go through up to 30 inches (762 mm) of water, or to tackle zero-visibility sandstorm conditions for up to five hours. Top speed is 140 km/hour; fuel capacity is 85 liters; and gas mileage is an estimated (Euro IV) 11 liters/100 km.

Available as a two-door with an extended pickup bed for personnel or equipment transport, or a four-door multipurpose vehicle, the J8 is produced with numerous vehicle-body and seating configurations in either right-hand- or left-hand-drive.
The Jeep J8 is armor capable and could be used as a command vehicle, troop/cargo carrier, ambulance, or communications vehicle. Heavy-duty bumpers with tow eyes allow the Jeep J8 to be easily transported by air. Curb weight is 2,600 kg; trailer towing is rated at 3,500 kg; gross weight is 3,864 kg.

An armored version of the Jeep J8 was the first vehicle to be certified under BRV 2009 VR7 for ballistic protection using hot-formed steel technology to create an external, non-parasitic protective shell. The BRV 2009 standards (which range from VR1 to VR7) are stringent and require the entire vehicle to be subjected to comprehensive destructive testing, including multiple shots from the appropriate type of ammunition. The car, including firewall, windshield, rear, roof, sides, and aperatures can be shot at from any angle; VR testing certifies the bulletproofing on the vehicle itself for real-world applicability.

VR7 protection is similar to the B7 level (most Middle Eastern armored cars are at the B6 level).
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.
