The Jeep was excellent when I purchased it for my needs at the time. It was fun and sporty; the seats folded down for plenty of camping gear. Taking it on road trips was not comfortable seating but useful and versatile. As it has aged, parts have begun to fail at a rapid pace. The A/C compressor gave out shortly after the water pump. The frame that both of these parts attach to has started to rust and cause leaking. Then the 4WD gave out this winter as the weather put pressure on the drive train. As my family has grown and our needs have changed, this car has become cramped and uncomfortable for our needs and costly to repair.

I purchased this car when I was single and working two jobs. It was great at that point in my life. It was perfect for camping and taking little adventures. It was running well with normal maintenance. Once it started getting older, more parts started going bad much more quickly, one after the other. I have a family now, and it is no longer practical. The water pump and air compressor went out within two months. The frame that they are mounted on is causing various leaks as well. At this point, it's not even worth replacing the parts.
