      My dad owned a bunch of jeeps from the 90’s to 2005 ish. I never understood how anyone could buy more than one of these pieces of shit.

            The Lego of the automotive world, incredibly reliable, fantastic for off-roading, the chassis and shocks placement is what kicked off custom shocks as a thing, etc.

            It was the Jeep (that wasn’t a military design) that defined the brand. Which Jeep spent all its time after just ruining.

            The steering was definitely very responsive for its time, though I’d personally call it a plus. Especially when it came to offroading, it was a huge benefit to get over hazards.

              Once you replaced the Lil Tikes suspension with actual suspension. Factory setups were always fake off road.

        I have a friend who swears by them. Buys one after another of those heaps of junk. I always ask her “how’s your Heep?”
