The woman who sold us the jeep had adopted the name from "Romancing the Stone", and it had been her Pepe for the last decade or so. She seemed quite concerned that we take good care of her Pepe for her. We thought he looked like a Pepe too.
Pepe is a 1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ with a 4 cylinder engine and manual transmission. Hes a bit rough around the edges: rust around the window frame and both front fenders, the paint is very badly oxidized across the hood, all four tires are bald and I'd rather walk through a blizzard then risk running the badly cracking spare, the right turn signal once engaged will not stop blinking until the car is turned off, the steering wheel vibrates between 28 and 35 mph and then again at any speed above 50, and there are no fewer then four distinct rattles that can be heard while cruising down the highway. Despite his problems Pepe now belonged to us, and he would be our Jeep.
The intent of this website is to document Pepe's maintenance, awesomeification and travels.
