I'm still curious about the 2 door JL.

You should really go drive one. I've been seeing them around here lately,

Oh wow, not a single 2 door jl, hell even 4 doors seem rather rare out here still. I see 10 model 3s for every 1 jl

Well, I'm 10 miles from FCA HQ. I see most new products before everyone else.

JL 4-doors are everywhere here. The 2-doors just started rolling around a few weeks ago.

I suppose this makes perfect sense. Tesla fucktory 5 miles from me, their finance arm is 1/2 a mile from me. And lucid is in our plaza although I have only seen one of their prototypes

GENERALLY (no clue how Tesla works), vehicles are produced for a few months before going on sale to the public. They're given to engineers and execs to drive to identify bugs and work out engineering issues. I see all the Detroit stuff way early. I was seeing Demons and wide body hellcats before they were announced.

It's sad we don't get this here



New Jimny. These are insanely durable little runabouts. Solid axles, super tiny, would be awesome to offroad with.

My uncle rented the old one at an island in Turkey, he claimed its pretty sketchy when you take turns

Makes a lot of sense.

You can take Suzuki out of Japan but you can’t take a samurai out of a Suzuki

I love this thing. It's like a Renegade meets a G-Wagon meets a Kei car.

Yeah they’re pretty butch looking. First gen RAV4 capability at least. In ROW these are basically wranglers.

Tried to rent one in Costa Rica but we got "upgraded" to a more CR-V class Suzuki thing. Not a bad car but , wanted a little thing.

Apex, you and I should try and find/try the Trans-NJ trail.

Are you on that forum? Can we get a copy of the gpx files?

And then figure out how to use gpx files...

[Apex]

GPX files are easy, just need an app like Gaia.

Speaking of which, I just downloaded Gaia. Gonna play with it some.

One of these weekends we should go exploring for some of that Trans-NJ route. It seems like it goes kinda close to us?

[fledonfoot]

I could get behind this

[Apex]

I could get behind this

Renegade has front and rear recovery points, ja?

[Apex]

I could get behind this

I'd hope so.

I'm trying to dig up and/or make a GPS track for the southern part of the TNJT to explore one of these weekends. Basically 195 to Cape May.

Have you PM'd one of the guys from that thread you linked with the TNJT? I thought one dude had gpx files available.

[fledonfoot]

Renegade has front and rear recovery points, ja?

Front and rear tow hooks, yeah.

[Apex]

Front and rear tow hooks, yeah.

I've got tow straps and shackles and stuff, so we should be good to go.
