For $16,995, Will This 2004 Jeep Wrangler Prove To Be Long On Value?
For $16,995, Will This 2004 Jeep Wrangler Prove To Be Long On Value?-August 2024

Today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe Jeep is a six-door, eleven-passenger, convertible-top 4X4. I’ll bet you didn’t expect to read that this morning! Once you pick your jaw up off the floor over so unexpected a combination of attributes, you can decide if paying its asking price is also a stretch.

Do you know the difference between getting an FJ and getting a BJ? An FJ’s for off-roading, while a BJ’s for off-loading. Ha, ha, ha, I just thought that up. I’m hilarious. The owner of Friday’s is hopefully laughing all the way to the bank as his former plow horse 4X4 came away with a solid 74% Nice Price win. Heh, heh, heh, off-loading...

The seller of today’s Nice Price or Crack Pipe FJ40 says that he’s been using it to plow his…

What is it they say, laughter is the best medicine? Actually, Best Medicine is a song by the Stray Birds, but if you need to put a smile on your face then just check out this dealer-offered . It’s so over the top zany that I don’t see how it could engender anything other than a grin.

Now, it should be noted up front that this Jeep, while apparently still a 4X4, is not going to be tackling the Rubicon any time soon. Nor is it technically a limousine as there’s no bar, disco lights, or L-shaped lounge inside. It also lacks the typical huge sunroof through which drunken revelers can shout/puke/flash a boob.

What you do have is what looks to be a professionally done conversion to six doors and almost twice that many seats. It’s sort of the Human Centipede of Jeep-dom, only not with humans or the whole mouth to butt thing. Come to think of it, it’s nothing like a human centipede. Forget I said that.

Who did this? Well, the dealer - Extreme Motorsports, where this Jeep seems to be the only remotely even extreme anything on the lot - doesn’t say. I’m guessing that it came from (scroll down past all the T-shirts and hats), but even their stuff don’t look quite like this one.

Whomever made it, it appears to be pretty slick, although the top looks like it probably requires an entire jamboree-full of Boy Scouts to erect or de-rect. Along with its dauchshund-ification, this Jeep comes with all the regular Wrangler accoutrements, a 190-bhp 4-litre six and 4-speed automatic, radio, and a HVAC that I bet now struggles to accommodate the folks in the back rows.

The ad notes that the silver over grey eleven-seater has only 37,000 miles on the clock and that the dealership hablas Espanol! How convenient. Hell, they’ll even finance it for you. The question of course is what the eff would you ever do with a six-door, eleven-seat stretch-convertible Wrangler, which honestly sounds like something the Cat in the Hat would drive.

Let’s not delve into hypotheticals here, as obviously unless your name is Duggar you probably wouldn’t even have a passing interest in something like this. I mean, you don’t own a wild animal park do you, or a dwarf who keeps shouting de plane, de plane?

With all that in mind, do you think this stretch Jeep is worth its $16,995 asking price? Or, does that seem like a total long shot?

You decide!

Fresno () or go if the ad disappears.

This Minivan Riding On An RV Frame Is The Best Dumb Thing This Week
It’s been a good while since we’ve looked at a truly baffling vehicle for sale . Almost entirely by accident I’ve come across a beautiful monstrosity of two unlikely vehicles merged into one. This 1995 Toyota Previa V8 RV thing is equal parts dumb, amazing and the best thing...

The Latest Tesla Cybertruck Prototype Looks Even Worse Up Close
When the Cybertruck first debuted, I’ll admit I was intrigued. It looked like nothing else on the roads, a wholly unique take on the pickup truck genre that had grown so stagnant over the years. Did I ever think it would reach production? Absolutely not, especially looking the way...

At $7,000, Would This 2003 Ford Ranger 4X4 Give You An Edge?
Ford’s current Ranger pickup isn’t as compact as today’s Club Cab edition. It’s also way more expensive. Let’s see if that price makes this a Ranger that will never be alone. If you are a fan of the movie, Back to the Future, then you no doubt fondly remember...

At $7,500, Would You Let Your Freak Flag Fly With This Custom 2003 VW Beetle Three-Wheeler?
At $7,500, Would You Let Your Freak Flag Fly With This Custom 2003 VW Beetle Three-Wheeler?
The most amazing thing about today’s custom VW trike is the seller’s claim of having put 10K on it in its present, Frankensteinian state. Let’s see if this very personal automotive statement can still find broad appeal at its current price. “Fluctuat nec mergitur” is the Latin-language motto of...
