Looks like a couple decaying CJ8s.

He creates more shovel ready jobs than the last present did.
So... he doesn't hesitate to make deposits when ever and where ever he wants....
Numerous large land mines....
I love the 5.3 and keeping the stick. Seems like everybody puts a slushbox behind their v8 swaps. Where's the link to you build? 
This site is a great teacher. It is not a stick. It is a 4l60 automatic. Automatics are the wave of the future. Corvettes are not even avaible in a manual transmission.I love the 5.3 and keeping the stick. Seems like everybody puts a slushbox behind their v8 swaps. Where's the link to you build?
They're also not available with an auto.
It's a DCT, different beast. But mechanically closer to a stick than an auto, no torque converter.

I've been hearing this bullshit since at least 1976, when I heard it from my high school driver's ed instructor. While they do have their place, its "only in America" for the most part that everyone insists on automatics, power windows/seats/locks - and touch screens and the rest...
I have 3 cars, two of them are sticks, and I'm starting to think about converting the other one to a stick as well "next time" it needs a new transmission. It won't be easy, but its doable. Its amazing how the same damn car that's sold worldwide is "Automatic Only" in effete North America, but stick everywhere else.

Oh yes! They’re a multimillion dollar company now. Ironically, the majority of their fleet still consists of TJs and LJs! You can kind of see three of them in the picture below (all LJs).
Not to derail....but man I'd be so whacked out if I'd bought a Corvette in the last few years. The new design is fantastic. Supercar. It's is so good it's going kill values.
We have them in Gatlinburg. Can you imagine the fleet vehicle sell off...

I was hoping this was a stick aswell. 5.3 must be about the perfect amount of power in a TJ. Forest green and tan Sahara interiors are my fav. Nice pics.
