Ive had an 80 series and it was awesome. Super heavy though. I love a bone stock 5sp TJ. One day I will get one.
Really? That surprises me. I guess the 80s really have gone up in value. When I had one you could get a clean one for 6k all day. I like the jeep better because the 80 while capable was just too big for me and it had leather and power everything which I don't really like.
I have a bone stock 98 TJ, 6cy, 5 speed half door soft top that I bought from a OSA members mom here a few years back with 61K miles. Was looking for a retired guys every day driver that I only use a couple times a week to keep the miles off my older Suburban to save for long trips. I have really enjoyed it,. Thought about lifting, gearing, big tires, etc, but decided I like it totally stock. I removed the back seat and the dog and groceries fit well. Yep, still need to sell my Gold Wing, rarely ride it any more since I have my Jeep.
I don't get out a whole lot but have been ducked 4 times. Yep first time was kinda strange, but now I see the fun someone had. Thanks for posting

To each his own. I had an old '74 Wagoneer and it was a good old truck. I'm a Land Rover guy myself. I've owned four and still have two. The new Defenders suck. They took the name of a great offroad machine and stuck it on a yuppiemobile.
My first vehicle was a 1976 CJ5 with the 304 V8 and a 3-speed manual, and I put side pipes on it. It was painted orange and had brown Levi Strauss vinyl seats, a spray-painted black interior, and a blue soft top. It was a study in colors, but man, did it go!
I've got a Wrangler soft top with factory half doors. Don't remember ever getting a duck but I think I got a koozie once - maybe from a Jeep club or something? Don't drive it much though. Bought it new in 2016 and has about 17,000 miles on it.
Took it to Lake City, CO a couple of times to drive some trails.

saw a brand new Gladiator @ the big dam party, it was a Rubicon, and the sticker said $88k...... out here, that's a house......Pull them out a of a pot hole at the mall parking lot?
I had an '80 CJ5, 6 cyl 4 speed, with 4" lift and 35" Monster Mudders.
Duck lease I had was a Swamp. My Jeep was the only vehicle that would make it to the back, where the ducks were. Full size Bronco, couple K10 Chevy and a 1st Gen Toyota 4Runner, all buried and I pulled out. It wasn't a hotrod, but it was unstoppable in mud.
