My 2001 Jeep GC Limited

This is my second Quadratrac GC and this car is a beast! Yeah, gas mileage sucks but at 5500 lbs gross weight and all time all wheel drive, I'm not sure what people expect. Reliability is good but as the car gets up in mileage things do go wrong. I'm not a mechanic but handy and the list of things I've done to my GC is endless. New fluids all around except brakes. Rear brakes, brake line, rear wheel bearing, drag link tie rods, steering stabilizer, heater core and AC evaporator, blend doors, window motors on 3 of 4 windows, front and rear shocks and probably some other minor stuff that's not coming to mind. I live in FL and have not done much off road except your occasional mud swell but know this vehicle is an exceptional off road machine. I use it mainly as a second run-around vehicle and to tow my 21 foot aquasport to the water. These cars are a dime a dozen and if you find a "good one" it could last you well into the 300-400k mileage. My last one was a 1999 GC and I sold it for $2100 bucks with 250K miles plus. If you're mechanically inclined and can do the work yourself, you're in luck, as the parts are relatively inexpensive and the car itself is pretty easy to work on. The long of the short: not the most reliable car but for the jeep enthusiast this is a crown jewel.
