Title: ZJ's, the most dangerous vehicle on the road today!
Post by: Chupacabra on June 10, 2011, 11:48:43 AM: Hahaha, this article made me laugh... Poor ZJ guys! But seriously. The most dangerous vehicle on the road? The explanation they give us to why applies to many vehicles built in that time period...not just the ZJ.

Post by: hps4evr on June 10, 2011, 05:30:39 PM: i read about this a couple months ago. "they" were looking into suspicious rear-end accidents where the tank exploded. kinda like the pinto i guess. but when you consider that there are about 10 million zj/wj on the road, a few minor odd-ball accidents are going to happen. and yes, a lot of vehicles have tanks in the rear. from every company out there.

Post by: TL-Iguana on June 10, 2011, 06:29:32 PM: Turns out that my pickup truck also falls into the most dangerous vehicle on the road for a few years back. Its a 73 chev with dual saddle tanks, on the outsides of the frame rails! There were enough fires from 73-79 to finally convince GM to put the tanks inside the frames past 1980 :)

Top Gear is such a sweet show...and I agree about the tank over one of these.
