My point is this, parts will be available, from OE NOS to new aftermarket parts. Quality and availability will vary through time. The good news is that these Jeeps are popular, so they will have support, and they will be relatively easy to keep and maintain. I have various old cars. A few popular models with tons of support and parts availability, and others makes, well they're built out of unobtanimu and honestly worth more parted out because of the rarity of their parts. (I've been on a ~5 year search for tail light lenses for one and have seen price swings from $300-1,500 for ~60 year old plastic lenses )
As I've said, I do expect these late model electronic-gizmo vehicles to be a challenge going forward. As electronics age, they crap out. Right now, I don't have much hope for these late models lasting 3+ decades, but aftermarket support will likely solve the problems that arise for them too.
This post makes sense.
We live in a world where it is really easy to knock off about anything you want to produce and at this stage of the game there isn’t anything in the way as far as patents too much-
We all need to remember- there were just under a million TJs sold. Thats a lot of Jeeps. In a 10 year period that beats the legendary Corvette about 400 percent in unit sales, just as a comparison.
