    Not sure if I'll be buying a new "Toaster Jeep", as my JKU is my daily driver, and I also have an old 77 CJ5. I've learned since buying my JKU that owning 2 Jeeps is staying broke, always buying parts for both, and double the "projects". So more than likely, a new Jeep is unwise at the moment, but who knows what the future may hold?

    LOL!! Welcome to ToasterJeep FrankenJeeper! If there is a benefit to the Renegade, you'll most likely never wheel it the way you do your other Jeeps and so, the way I see it, this one will be the fuel efficient reliable one that you can take to work while your play Jeeps are in the garage getting fixed :D

    That may be the selling point for me, is fuel economy, as well as having a designated daily driver to depend on.

    Thanks!
    My CJ5 I got when I was a freshman in high school, about a month after my dad went into remission from cancer, so that has always been our project together. Its a 1977 with AMC 20 and Dana 30, 3 speed and 258 inline 6. It's been restored to drive able condition (when we started it had no brakes, wouldn't shift I to 4wd and was running on 3 cylinders lol). It's currently sprung over on 33's, and being driven once a month or so. It's got chromoly 1 piece rear axle shafts, new replacement seats front and rear, Best Top Replace-A-Top, custom side steps, 2 pairs of spot lights, custom made dash knobs, custom shift knob and a couple other doodads here and there.

    My JKU Sport is a '10 I bought in spring of 2012. It's lifted 4" on 35's, rocking a Trek Top I got this summer. It's also got LED rock lights and a pair of KC 130w spot lights on the windshield. I built some custom 3" wide mini fenders out of 3/16" plate steel this past summer as well.
