I guess my question here would be what do you love more the CJ or the Ranger?
In any case best of luck dude. |
Thats exactly what my thoughts are.
The vehicle (MM550) is marvelous and I have no issues with it whatsoever. The only thing is that I am not driving it as much as I would like to.
There is one thing that I would miss is I wouldn't have a vehicle for outstation OTR's or I will have to tow my 3B behind some other jeep or something!!! This is the only drawback that I see. Additionally I feel much safer in the MM550 while I am doing obstacles, maybe its the safety of the doors or something, I don't know.
I cannot compare the CJ with the 550. Actually its not final goodbye to the 550. i might buy one in the future when we start getting post 2005 models in the army auction, but that will atleast be 4-5 years later or so!!!
I might buy it and then restore it completely then. who knows

I suggest you to keep Ranger and a 3B. Dispose another jeep on which you are yet to work. Sell Ranger only if you think it is a bottomless pit.

Vinod thanks for the comments dude!!!
It is not atall a bottomless pit!!! The vehicle is very capable and works flawlessly and all the expense that I have recently incurred on the vehicle, I could have decided against it, but I want my vehicle to be flawless!!!
You see that I have incurred about 30-40K recently
- Clutch system (this could have been repaired for far less, but I decided against it, as the problem would have again cropped up in the next couple of months approx (6-7k)
- Alternator (no issues, just got it serviced) (3k)
- Starter Self 6-7k ( could have easily been repaired, but the lucas guy said that it was local (mayapuri at work again) So I decided to change with brand new)
- Steering colum 7k (power steering was working ok, only used to leak slightly at OTR's, Otherwise was working perfectly on the road, I changed it)
The above comes to about 24k or something. Plus there are numerous other thing that I did at Sudhir KAshyap's Mahindra Outlet.
Changed all the body mounts, engine & gearbox mounts, brake cylinders, brake system, injectors, heater plugs, all engine oil, gearoil, diffs oil to name a few. And these small small things as everyone knows cost the most!!! Hell yaar I paid 2.5k for the universal steering joints and UJ cross (which again were local
thankyou Mayapuri ;-))
I have this think in my mind that I want my vehicle to be as reliable and trustworthy that even if I decide today evening that I was to go to Leh or Mumbai or anywhere for that matter, tomorrow morning by road, apart from refueling and checking the necessary stuff like airpressure, jack, etc I want the vehicle to be capable!!!
Further if I do not get a good price. I am happy to retain the vehicle as I still have a very capable vehicle in my hand and will cherish for a long time to come...
With regards to the LHD
Then also I cannot sell the LHD as if I do I might never be able to lay my hands on something like this again!!! I think that its already a classic (i am not sure) and who know in about 10 years or so might become more rarer and increase in value!!!
Whereas I might still be able to buy a MM550 5-10 years in future???
what do you guys think???
