The Nissan Frontier is 3.5 feet longer than the Wranger...

Welp im back from the Ford dealership... and I still have my Wrangler. They had the Bronco I liked, and I was ready to buy it. But they wouldn't give me enough money for the Wrangler. It's a brand-new Wrangler purchased at the end of October but they would only give me $23,000 for it. I'm not...

Might go look at 2 door bronco's this weekend. Not entirely sold on the vehice, but its probably the closest thing to what i want.

Hybrids are mostly useless where I live. Everything is too far away and there are very few chances to use your brakes (to charge the vehicle). Also, the point of the vehicle is to be a winter/work vehicle... hybrids are not known for efficiency in the cold or when pulling/hauling.

Show us on the doll where the ground hog touched you.

Yea, memes that could be taken seriously or that make light of others misfortune shouldnt be allowed! :rolleyes:

A tacoma would be perfect if it wasnt the size of an f150. I live out in the sticks but need to navigate narrow dense parking lots at work, hence the strange multi role requirements.

The 2-door Bronco is pretty tempting. More research will be needed.

Ive got the 6 speed manual transmission on my '25 Wrangler sport. I have driven manual transmission vehicles most of my life... This is easily the worst. Its just the right combination of poor throttle response, overly tall gears, and extremely narrow friction zone to piss me off on a regular...

Most of those vehicles are larger than what im looking for. My favorite part of the Wrangler is that its only 14' long. Im not concerned about looks. I ride a motorcycle most of the time and only use the suv for the winter commuting and utility tasks.

So i got tired of my Ram 2500, it was really too big for my needs and was getting up there in miles. So, i traded it in on a new Jeep 2-door Wrangler. While i like the Wranglers size and abilities... I hate its drive train! I also dont trust its reliability as the build quality seems quite poor...

We need to get you into rolling your own... At least to feed the Lott! I find inexpensive old .458" bullets online on a regular basis. Mostly old Hornady bullets from ages past. These make for great plinking bullets!

My Marlin (Ruger) Trapper 45-70 with a suppressor and home rolled sub-sonic loads is my go-to plinking gun. This is followed closely by my precious W.J. Jeffery 8-bore 3.25" double rifle. Usually both guns come out at the same time.

The original DGX was not bonded and a number of members had them come apart on buffalo. The second generation of DGX is bonded and as far as i know they have performed well for people. The interlock is probable fine for PG, ive ysed interlock bullets are deer with decent results.

While it does reduce recoil, it didnt make as much of a difference as i thought it would with my rifle. Ive done both 67gr of blue dot and 270gr of FFg black powder with a 1200gr bullet. The recoil felt only slightly more with the black powder. I was never able to measure muzzle velocity with...
