Hi
Pre 98 is the one to avoid. :police:
The latest ones are fab and they are still VM! :afro:

Do any Jeeps have diff-locks - or could they be fitted ? :smiley:

Unless I've misunderstood the manual (which is entirely possible :D), Quadra-Drive has rear lockers - Quadra-Drive II certainly does. That said, the Command-, Selec and Quadra-Trac systems can all have lockers fitted (see those with XJ and Wranglers).
I've only had my V8 GC for a few months, but it's been great and I throughly love it. Had a few problems with original design faults, but once sorted haven't looked back. Have a couple of friends with RR or Discos, and in one recent expedition to Salisbury Plain I never moved the drive system out of full-time 4WD and didn't get stuck at all - unlike them! ;)
Mods can be expensive (especially in comparison to Land Rover) as few people stock them over here, but get them from the US and prices ain't too bad.
Yeah, they can drink fuel - 16mpg in a V8 is a pain, but the CRD and i6 are good.
As Mrs Doyle would say, "Go on, go on, go on, go on, go on [get a Jeep!]"

Ha ha - thanks :lol:
I've just got rid of my GC - it was a 3.1Td & I loved it, but I was worried about the marine engine & it seemed too nice to use off-road. Got rid of my Defender at the same time so I could combine both into one vehicle. I'm surprised to hear there was a diff-lock on it ? Now I'm looking what to get & I find myself still drawn to the GC, but maybe a petrol on gas. But how would that be for wading ? Not so good I guess, as long as it'd cope with water i came across on greenlanes !
Oh I don't know .............................. :lol: :smiley:
