I trust it has a rock solid sealed in blood bullet proof parts and labour warranty ?
Just as a matter of interest why did you 'upgrade' from the D2.

Stupidity?! D2 was getting too old to take to the next level and i thought i could still get good money for it. So was tossing up between a Wrangler Unlimited and a Defa. Have you spoken to Jeep owners

As a matter of fact I have. My brother has a WJ Grand Cherokee Laredo which he absolutely swears by, I have a 1996 KJ Grand Cherokee Laredo which I bought with with a cooked engine for $1500, $1500 later it's on the road. Great machines but the cost of Chrysler genuine parts would make you throw up, makes LR look tame. Fortunately second hand and non genuine parts are available at reasonable cost. Good luck with the Puma, love the Landy at any price but the Transit engine is a piece of ****. Makes Nissans ZD30 look good, ..........nah not really. Often wondered if you can lose the Ford vacuum pump and have one on the back of the alternator like every other 4WD diesel engine known to mankind ?

I am secretly in love with Jeeps

over the years have come close to buying an XJ, then a TJ, nearly a WJ and then recently got a bit obsessed with the JK. Too many trips to the states

come to think of it if i could take the Puma over there i would be able to swap it for a JK, comaro and a Malibu............

I feel it has to be said

It never happened without pics!!!!!!



there I said it.
