Likewise here in Qatar. the challenge is to find a stock one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In almost 20 years of Wrangler ownership I see very few in Scotland. I see more when we winter down in Andalusia with our JK. Also when we had our old 4L Cherokee in Oman in the 90s there where loads of YJs, the young Omani's sports car, both great for dune bashing. I thought I saw you in Greenoch Roger, when I left Dunoon. Checked the number plate later on my dashcam, same colour JK, different number , heyho. Hope you are well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member TimC Posted October 3, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted October 3, 2022 I was also listening to LBC this morning and heard Nick Ferrari say he drives a Jeep Overland, didn’t say what model, probably a Grand Cherokee but you never know, might be a Wrangler.

Platinum Member Overlander21 Posted December 7, 2022 Author Platinum Member Share Posted December 7, 2022 Spotted a seriously cool looking Wrangler driving through Wigan town centre this morning. Two door, yellow or green (hard to tell, most cars looked white this morning as it was -3C), black reg plate, black soft top, and really old! 1970s? Only caught a fleeting glance as it was at the opposite junction from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member Raakhee Posted December 9, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted December 9, 2022 @UKTJ open up Mobile camera. At the bottom you should see options of photo, video, etc. Scroll to the right and one of the options is Portrait. Select. You need to be 1 - 1.5 meters away from object. Tap the object and the camera will refocus to it. Click the photo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member Overlander21 Posted April 19, 2023 Author Platinum Member Share Posted April 19, 2023 I did a six hundred mile round trip to the south coast and back, and only saw three Wranglers in total! A red two door JL heading northbound on the A34, somewhere between Oxford and Eastleigh, then ten minutes later a red four door also passed northbound too! And dark blue JL overtook me on the M6 northbound this afternoon, somewhere north of Cheshire 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member frosty Posted April 20, 2023 Platinum Member Share Posted April 20, 2023 i have been in the Philippines for the last month, not many here, but i lived in Dubai for 14 months before that, for a bit of exercise i used to walk round my area ( Barsha Heights) every day, about 45 minutes, or 3.5 miles, i used to count how many wranglers and FJ Cruisers i would see, on average i would see about 25 wranglers and 15 FJ's every day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I've seen 25x Wranglers in the last 15 years wranglers, and FJ's are a relatively cheap vehicle compared to other makes in the middle east, and are good value for money, it is sad to see that they will finally stop making the FJ cruiser for the middle east later this year.

Platinum Member Raakhee Posted April 25, 2023 Platinum Member Share Posted April 25, 2023 Today I saw a 2 door Ocean Blue Sahara and a 4 door Sarge Green Rubicon, modded but not off roaded. Also saw this really cute Hydro Blue Pearl 2 door Rubicon To be fair they were parked up and I knew where they were but I did get a 2 mile walk in this morning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
