Just like me (oh, no, I mean just like my wife. Yeah my wife, not me.) :nervous laugh:
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

First trip out I flopped the truck onto her side. I looked down expecting to see her all sorts of pissed but she was laughing. I picked a good one. :D





Of all the cars on that list the pinto has me the most intrigued... :lol:

Nice to meet you on the run and great looking Cherokee.

That must have been the one that followed me from the Sno-park to Tampico. Sorry I didn't drive that fast. No sway bar in front.

Yep, I think that is the one. I know what you mean about the front sway bar; my Jeep just gets silly when it is disconnected. I meant to come over and say "Hi" when you were airing up at the SnoPark yesterday, but Jose kept luring me back to his trailer with homebrew. I'm sure you understand.
It is good to see that you get such a large group out wheeling.

Well, it was a project xj that a co-worker spent a few years building and then decided he was a (REAL) JEEP guy, so he started building another square eyed one. He felt bad when he left the XJ outside in the lonely cold in order to house the other jeep and when his conscience got the best of him he decided to give er up. I just happened to be in the right place and went to Yakima to get er. Now shes all mine...
