Unlimited

My little brother just called me to tell me he picked up his new unlimited today. He ordered it from jeepwarehouse.com and had it shipped to a dealer in Tucson, where he lives. It arrived even before their demo model did, and they seemed to think he has the first one in the area.

The semi-funny part is, that it has been sitting in their back lot since this weekend while the final paperwork went back and forth to jeepwarehouse, and they let him sit in it and take pictures. Well, just like clockwork he calls me up on Monday to tell me that his '97 TJ had died in the parking lot at work, apparently in a fit of jealousy. It's making unhappy noises and the current speculation is a problem in the transfer case. I didn't know that you could cheat on a Jeep, but apparently the retribution for doing so is swift and sure. Sounds like he's going to have to keep those two apart....

I stopped by a dealer earlier this week to take a look at an Unlimited. My two oldest children (14 and 11) are getting to the size where they can't comfortably sit in the rear seat of my 98 TJ. They don't ride in it everyday, but often enough that I'd like for them to be comfortable when they do. I thought maybe the two extra inches of rearward placement of the rear seat in the Unlimited might make them more comfortable. Wrong. I sat in the backseat and found that they moved the seating position rearward but left the floorwell in the same location. As a result your feet tend to be pinned forward by the tub ledge. Didn't like it at all. I was envious of the extra room behind the rear seat though. So it looks like I'll be keeping my TJ. Just had the rear pinion seal, serpentine belt, and radiator replaced. Good for another 80k. No other significant maintenance costs so far. Purchased new in April of 98.
