My Dad is a jeep head. He has spent 100s of thousands on jeeps in his life by now, no doubt. Every single one ends up with problems. They're built like ####.
His current grand cherokee overland has been in the shop for 3 months after an accident because no parts are available. I let him borrow my Lexus for a week when my family went to Mexico. He didn't want to return it and is now trying to get insurance to write off his jeep and finally get off the wild ride. I've been telling him this for ages but finally a week driving my lexy was enough.
I do think it's some sort of addiction or sickness though. There's also a personality element to it- his garage is littered with those dumb "Jeep parking" and such signs, for example. Being a jeep guy is a thing.
