| This week I traded in my daily driver, a PT Cruiser for this: Tires and Wheels are on order. As are Nerf Bars/Rock Sliders and Tail Light guards and Gas Cap Door and... I will test load this weekend, but I think I can load 2 quads and the Jeep in the Wee Willie Wagon. If not, then there's always the Willie Wagon itself! Of course then I can't use the truck camper. We're coming down the middle of next month. That should be a good test of truck, trailer and load configuration. Prior to next July's Colorado trip. | |

| ...we have a jk...they are fun! I read once where jeeps are like motorcycles, you either love them or hate them. (for the record we're fans of both!) | |

| Nice Jeep.....nice looking truck setup behind it too! I miss my old jeep too Lee. Fun to drive aren't they! Mine only had the 2:55 air so I finally gave it up for an SUV. GBob I have the opposite problem....too short to reach the pedals and getting shorter as I get older. In my old jeep we had to unbolt the seat and move it forward. | |

That"s too funny. It's a 2011. They are offering 0% financing. The 2012's are coming with new engines and trannys. Had 140 miles when I picked it up Tuesday. | |

| You could take the tops off and sit in the back seat after removing the front row.
Employee discounts are nice. | |

| Way to go Tumbleweed. Can't be afraid to pull the trigger. You make it sound like they're giving Jeeps away. Wi-Fee's brother has one. Very fun to drive. I'm pretty sure the turning radius is less than my quad. Congrats on finding such a "clean" new Jeep! | |

| Well, it has started!!! From this: To this: Nerf bars to keep the rocks out. Gas door to keep the mud out! Actually, it started before we even left the dealership! We had to get a handle for a little monkey to climb up! Hopefully, this will be sufficient for now. | |

| Thanks. Now to find time to go Jeepin'!!! I don't think it will fit inside the new trailer without some serious "outside the box" thinking. Like standing a Grizzly on it's tail and strapping it down. Anyway, I'll be down in Matewan, Gilbert, Oak Hill and Burning Rock in a week!!! Wohoo! Hopefully I can hook up with some of you or at least stop by PL's Lodge and say Hi. | |

| This is your rafting trip too? Wear the wetsuit... The PA creeks were already a little chilly this weekend. | |

| Yep, that's the week. I've been warned to get a wetsuit. Waterproof Long Johns??? White water rafting, zip line and ATVs. Does it get any better??? Maybe ATVs and Jeeps next July in Colorado! Anyone up for that? | |
