Dear members as i already mention the topic above in Title, so please share your experiences and reviews regard Wrangler and it's pros and cons

how heavy on pocket is this monster?

can we get it's spares easily? used/new

i heard it's totally electrical vehicle, so if something goes wrong electrically then hardly someone get it fixed. Is it true or false? it's electrical issue/problems are same as other vehicles?

what about suspension and it's life and cost of repair.

whats the average of fuel economy ?

for the moment these are my quires being as newbie.

Seniors thanks in advance

the 4.0 litre engine is bomb proof indestructable, it also has nearly a flat line of torque from above idle right to redline. Its not too bad on petrol and is easy to repair if you are handy with tools.

the electrics are chrysler and require some sensible approach rather than - oye chotay, dooja wala de, aye shaart hai - type of repair - aka shooting parts at it.

the drivetrain will require maintenance because its a Jeep, Jeep owners are required to own 3 sets of overalls and have 3 days off in a week, 2 as regular saturday and sunday for life and family and one extra for the Jeep.

Otherwise its a ton of fun, and dont expect super soft plush ride, its a Jeep - its meant to drive like a tub with 4 wheels.

Thanks for comment Dear

I live in a very small town.
Total distance i cover is approx. 30kms to 40kms
reason of buying : roads are very bad in my area they are equal to NO ROADS
2nd for Shashka party.

Im scare of only parts unavailability or at high rates and electrical problems of this American brand.

Had Pajero 5 Door, sold it just because of non-availability of Ball joint in market at that moment when I needed.

Everyone has Toyota and Suzuki brand here, for hunting and desert rides but I want something different from regulars. only for this purpose.

If you want to be different buy Two wangler then one as a donor car if pajero parts aren't available where you live I don't think you can get wangler part

Bro story of my side place is different can't make you understand by typing.

It all about interest level thing, in this place where I live people own Pajero's, Land Cruiser's (all models) Wrangler (only 2 of them) ( only limited numbers of crowns, Mercedes, Bmw) etc....

A wrangler came to my mechanic in rwp for some repairs.. it was a 2005 model,4000cc petrol.He search up-down-right-left in whole rwp/isb and lahore too but couldn't find a single bolt for damn thing.
The only option which looked promising was to acquire one similar vehicle from chamman and use it as a donor vehicle. And the price quoted from chamman was 950k.

And also mention the converted ones cj7 to Wrangler Tj shape. what if someone is selling Tj model with M825 auctioned papers?
