Although we have had the JK a year and a half, this was the first time they ended up parked together. Certainly a bit of a size difference.

Personally I like the seven slots on the 3B better. Better proportioned. And not any plastic crap around the front or the tires. Just better lookin' in my opinion. I have a 03 Liberty and I am not in love with it's looks either. But my 68 CJ-5 & 54 CJ-3b are not bad lookers. Take the Liberty where I take the CJ's no way. Dick W. Spokane Wa. |

The JK is much better suited to road travel than our top-heavy vintage Jeeps and is what today's consumers are looking for. It can also be a monster off-road, especially the Rubicon. It's a great vehicle. Part of the charm of the Willys is that the design is sufficiently outdated that they will be forever unique. That's why it's so important to keep them running. |

Sold one of the jeeps to a friend of mine, and it will be on it's way to Mexico this fall, as he has property there and needs a daily driver cheaper on gas than his truck. Bet you can't guess which one will still be in my yard!!!

I was out and about today and made out a Wrangler coming toward me. When they realised what it was they looking at they showed their delight with flashing lights and thumbs up. ![]() It appears that modern Jeep owners still like to see these old trucks on the highway. |

Well, since this seems to have become a family portrait thread, I'll add mine.![]() 1954 - 1957 - 2010 I really like all three. Each has its purpose and fulfills it well. By the way, Duffer, I was just in MA visiting Nate (Garage Gnome). But I didn't get to see the Titan. It was too far away and no extra time. Sigh. |
