    I'd just hit up the american forums for whatever jeep you're interested in. parts should be readily available from the US directly (I do this from UK for european car parts). I don't appreciate the electronic filled nightmaires modern cars are. If jeeps have 20year old tech, that is more the ideal to me

    If you find a good forum (like this one is for land rovers), you should be able to figure out most common issues quite easily.

    I'd go for it. To many electronics in a modern land rover for me. The modern defender for example, just appears to be a horrendously complicated range rover with a different skin.

    Its quite amusing to see public figures like jeremy clarkson and harrys farm still driving around there old range rovers when they would probably be gifted a modern one if they would drive it publicly

    The OP could invite his friend fishing 🎣 and get him to tow the boat with his Jeep.

    Does that include trailer, fuel and gear for a fishing trip.

    Also, don't forget to take into account the weight of the catch, on the return home!

    I've towed quite a few boats, with quite a few different vehicles and if I had a boat of 3200 kg, I'd be going for a tow vehicle with a 4 tonne tow rating.
