Although I like the Jeep WK Grand Cherokee I am being quite unfaithful as I pretend its a Patrol when I drive her. Its a sort of mental vehicle adultery .lol


We brought a mint Dodge Ram from USA and during the first weeks in UK I could see the affects from the salt on the roads, that spring I pressure washed it on a friends pit and used his compressor to put 3gallons of waxoyl under it -- when we sold it a few years later it was still like new underneath!!!!!
Our old T1 has spent virtually all it's life in Portugal away from salt on roads or sea!!!
The result is incredible
