These are the days I truly miss my Jeep(s)

I actually miss my old Jeep and am getting an itch for something different but want to wait until February to see what I get for a new company car. If it's something decent then I'll buy something impractical for a toy!

Yep also remember Wranglers are pretty light weight..Took me a while to figure out how to drive in variable snow conditions..... Now I can drift around corners like a PR in a Honda Civic! You should check out the Hankook Dynapros....

thanks jeff. check will be in the mail tomorrow.

mounted the rack and tested. my 84mm skis fit fine. Jake's 90s fit with no room to spare. if i get new skis in the 95 range i'll make some minor mods to accommodate them.

i had to remove the cannon sticker because i've never been there but i did add an alpinezone.com one

How's the rack working out?

How's the rack working out?

i used it once last year, it worked great. so far this year i haven't take the jeep.

Anybody have an opinion on the Wrangler Unlimited? Besides being a gas hog and bare bones is there anything to be aware of?
Any specific years to avoid? Known issues?

Toying with the idea of picking one up (2010 or newer) if I can find one for the right price. It would not be the family hauler more of our second car that we would use daily but not for long trips.

I had an 09 two door. Biggest problem I had was a leaky hard top(removable panels). I'm pretty sure the company that was making them back then went out of business. When looking at them take the tops off and look for excess foam and silicone. That is what Jeep considered the fix. Other than that they are fun, but not the best riding vehicle.

Sweet ride Octopus!!!

Is that your daily driver or just a toy?

 

[octopus]

it did its time as a daily driver,i still had some trail runs. got some plans for it to become more of a toy, 35's, lift etc.

Nice vehicle Octopus. Don't know what that wheelwell will allow you...but Jeeps seem to offer more room than most...off the shelf.

Sweet rigs!

jeep wrangler, the roaming parts store- why go to autozone for jeep parts, just borrow your neighbors for free!!

 

[gmcunni]

nice day today to drive around with the top down. doors off soon.

Getting a few days now with some rain...highly needed, but so far this spring's weather has been unreal for letting the windows down...or breaking tops down...
