Yes, she does. 3 years ago, we had an ice storm; a huge, hollow soft maple tree top fell on her Elantra and my Liberty. She liked the liberty and since they don't make them anymore, she test drove the renegade; so did I; and we were impressed. Still are; zero maint other than oil changes; pleasure to drive, goes through anything, and is good on fuel. We would buy another, and if my old Commander ever gives out, I would consider one for myself.
Any news with the Renegade!!!

I’ve been a Jeep fan for a long time from Cherokee to a modified Jeep TJ apex with a 4” lift love Jeep before they sold out and change there platform. old school Jeeps are for me.
My first was a two door Cherokee; I think it was a '71. 350 3 speed stick, manual front locking hubs, the thing may still running (it was a couple years ago), but the body is long gone! Mechanically bullet proof; so us my "unibody" commander, and so is the wife's little Renegade fiat. The 9 speed automatic feels like it is driven by an electric motor. I think it is an AISIN Transmission; as most jeeps do.
The Renegade Rifle is a nice idea; and from what I am seeing, may be better than Troy's, design wise. Thing is, I have a really nice AR parked now. I have seen the logic of the the liberals and the RCMP when it comes to classification; and reclassification. I bought the AR parts (many from TNA) to build a very fine rifle, knowing this was a possibility, to ensure I was "grandfathered" in, and it did not happen. I was careful shopping for components, and I ended up with one very accurate, 100% reliable (zero misfeeds, FTEs etc. with over 2000 mixed rounds including homeloads) rifle for <$750 Canadian all in. I am cautious; once bitten, twice shy.

It’s always good to be cautious, in these troubled times...
happy shooting

I'm very keen on building one in 7.62x35 myself. Both options are the market are going to see some nice innovated NR builds.
Thank you TNA (And the person who canceled their order for a receiver set)! My Renegade set came in and other than some messing with the retaining detents and springs, it went together all right. I have it ready to go now, but as I did more research, I found I wasn't as happy with the CTR and MIAD I initially picked up and after looking around I went for an SL-K and a K style grip... so Pics will have to wait until she is perfect!
Once again, my thanks TNA!
(PS I seriously recommend a captured buffer)

Here she is as promised, about 80% was purchased from TNA so go there to get your ARish necessities. Once again thanks for hooking up my late to the party-self TNA!
Only parts that didn't come from TNA are:
Barrel/Bolt
Grip
SRS Buffer
Tension Screw
(if you are on the fence and are building short, I highly recommend the K-style parts, if you have the length.
Probably next week, or Friday if various celestial bodies are in alignment.
We also have a few receivers built up with DPMS Oracle parts in stock now if you’re just looking for a basic build.
Thanks guys. I'll pass on the Oracle build as I have already bought completion parts for a build from you.
I'll make sure to ask for a notification on the order page.
I wonder if there are any updates on Renegade? It seems like they are facing some troubles at the moment. I’ve even read somewhere in the news about them. There was an article about them saying that at the moment, they are facing some troubles with their servers. Besides, they mentioned that they have no idea when everything will be over. I found that article online on some random website when I was googling them. I don’t know if I can trust that source. Usually, I only read verified new sources, such as https://news.kisspr.com But, I couldn’t find any info about Renegade there, so I’ve read everything I found on google.

The only troubles we are facing right now is that we can't make them fast enough. We just built 60 rifles, and 47 of them sold within 3 days. We have a couple hundred of the receiver sets available plus we just shipped True North Arms around 15. True North Arms should have some complete rifles on their website and if they need more, we have a few remaining still.

Happy to hear you folks are busy as heck. That’s wonderful to hear. I’ve sent some of my CQB clients to you (bored after the 01 May 20 OIC) for some Renegade fun. That will stoke their creative juices.
Say hi to Ronnie G on the weekends for me....
Cheers, Barney
Ahhhhh a fiat
