New to the club, not really too new to Jeeps.

But planning on getting a wrangler unlimited CRD. Looks like it might suit my lifestyle more.

will be the 3rd jeep in the family, we used to have a 1996 cherokee, then that was sold for a Commander CRD, and soon to be added the Wrangler. Just got to work out if I should trade or sell my current car, and then pick a color, sort of leaning towards stone white, haven't seen one on the road

little bit closer to getting a jeep, my car's just about stock again, coilovers are out. koni's back in.

Been down to jeep and have spoken to the people and from what i can see getting a good price on a manual CRD with the renegade pack seems like it will be close to impossible.

so if any of you guys have similar specs in what i want and you got a good price let me know what sort of price i should be aiming for.

i have been told $48,000 on road for a manual CRD unlimited renegade and that seemed a little high to me.

If you're getting the soft top with it, make sure they include all the windows and door frames. Sounds crazy, but they didn't put them in our Jeep when we picked it up. That will save you a few hours trying to figure out how it all fits together as the manual is really poor in instructing how to do it.

Pete

So there should be more then the rolled up black thing on the frames in the back? or is everything rolled up in that?

you should get two boxes with it.
one has the side and rear soft top windows in it.
the other has the soft top door frames in it.

Nice Jeep Pete, too bad it's a JK ;D... just kidding mate. I like the white also, don't understand why there arn't more white Jeeps around. Looks good, do you know if the JK is going to come out with colour coded flares (that would make it look larger I think).

Pete
10-07-08, 07:43 PM
yeah i dont know why there are not more white ones.

as for colour coded flares i dont know they have them in the US and NZ from what i have read, but i do like the black ones, only thing i would like is something to stop the plastic getting to scrathed.

That's interesting, wonder why the Kiwi's would get it and we don't.

I'm glad we dont have body coloured flares on our Jeep. We've got heaps of scuff marks on them already from rocks that got a bit too close :P

from what i have seen i think the one that are painted are the ones to look better maybe more expensive, think they come with 18's maybe i guess its like the lesser 4wd one if you can get that with a wrangler
