Looks like our 12-22 order is finally built. It's apparently in J status now, but I don't know which J yet.

My Cherokee has been asking me to schedule an update for months now. I have not. Seems that in a best case scenario nothing gets worse after an update.

Indeed. If someone did that today, there would be a thread about it.

Back the Trans Am down the launching ramp?

Well, if I had to pick between power and gearing, I'd take low gearing any day for actual 'wheeling. But having both is nice, of course. Especially some power in the sand dunes. Although, in sand it's nice to have a light vehicle, so now we're right back to a real Jeep. With gearing and power.

But, at least he was smart enough to buy (or steal?) a Challenger instead.

Yes, but some wheels have sharp edges on the inside of the spokes, so a protective sleeve over the strap should be used.

Just don't fill them to the point that the bump stops have to be lowered.

It's convenient as can be. Just pull up to the pump and fill up, without having to get out of the seat. Add an overdrive and there's four levers. Ideally also a PTO for a 5th one. Yum.

Sorry to hear that. I have obviously done my fair share of Bronco (and Toyota, and everything else) bashing, but wouldn't think of leaving a fellow 'wheeler behind, regardless of what they're driving. If nothing else, the get unstuck and repair adventures are usually half the fun of a good...

I'm guessing that they needed to keep the corporate average mpg figures down somehow. Our cars don't exactly help it.

And you wonder why I like real Jeeps? They have no doors. Of course, that has lead to a few discussions when registering some of them. It has to be a 2-door or a 4-door according to some authorities.

Oh it was. No doubt about that.

Heard that yesterday, which made me wonder if they trademarked the name. I think Jeep did it some time in the Seventies.

You had to remind me, didn't you? I lowered and sectioned an ex postal Jeep, then put a built 400 smallblock in it. That thing tried to kill me every time I drove it.

I'm probably a Jeep person, having had at least one since buying my second car, and maybe 35 or so since. My third Jeep, which I still have, has been on more trails than I could possibly remember, been driven cross country, and I lived in it for over six months once getting to L.A. after that...

I know, I know. She brought it up, again, about a week ago. For us it would be more of a financial thing, though. It would be a shame to lose out on her substantial assets (financial, mind you) if something happens to her. Conversely, she wants me to make a list of who gets what car, or piece...

Holy crap! I figured those things would be costly, but that's absurd. And as you pointed out, solar panels are extra.

You remembered correctly...for a change. Now I'm waiting for ChargerChallenger's response to your dirt slinging post. Although, for all I know, he had one of those Furds.

Oh, I had quite a few fox bodies back in the day. Now I'm stuck with one (my current girlfriend). Anyway, if you were referring to those Furds...hate to tell you, but I never had enough tools or patience to own one.
