Jeep vehicles started as an idea - an idea born out of the need
of a country to out-mobilize its adversaries and to liberate
those who were captive.

planning to buy a wrangler. (1997-2003 Wrangler)
1.
How much should I pay for it and what are payment options
available ?

3.
How does it handle in snow and winter conditions ?
Ans: These jeeps handles really well in the snow, as long
as you watch what you're doing. However, like any other car,
it can slip sideways or fishtail in slippery conditions. This
behavior might depend on what kind of tires you have, but
be aware that you need to reduce your speed and drive sensibly
in bad weather.
4.
What problems have been reported in '98 Wranglers ?

- Water leaks into the passenger compartment
- The gas gauge doesn't read "FULL" very long after you've
filled the tank, or it beeps and turns on the gas light with
more than three gallons of gas in the tank
- The vents don't really heat up the inside when on the "floor"
setting
5.
Assorted tips on off-road driving
Ans:
- Having less air in your tires means your tires will have
a larger contact surface with the dirt, which gives you
more traction and lets your tires flex around obstacles
like logs or rocks. If you're at street pressure (like 33
PSI, for example), you'll have trouble with traction. If
you air down to 20 or 15 PSI, your tires will give you much
better traction. Don't overdo it, though, or you may run
the tire off its bead. Going lower than about 15 PSI gives
you more of a risk of doing this.
- If you get to a large hole or dip in the trail, try to
put your wheels on both sides of it, rather than having
one wheel in the hole and one on the top. If you do the
latter, you will probably get stuck and end up with tires
spinning in the sand.
- Go out with a four-wheeling club and get some experience
from the more knowledgeable members.
