DSL in my Rubi
 
Does anyone use their laptop in their Jeeps? I was going to try and use
my laptop with my GPS, but if my Rubi's own computer ties in and finds
this NG, then discovers that it's not a Real Jeep...well, I'm concerned
about future performance and general attitude. Is there such a thing as
Jeep depression?

Not yet, but I'm working on a project to equip my '94 YJ with computer
navigation and media access. I'll be able to show you some pictures and
info hopefully sometime this summer. Of course, the YJ is not regarded to
be a real Jeep by many here either, but I keep finding parts in it that has
the AMC logo on them. Who says you can't be knee-deep in mud and online at
the same time? ;-)

I leave the laptop at home but, the newly installed lips on my 04 Sahara's
steering wheel make it worth while. Lets see a laptop do that!

Hi Joe,
Many sacrifices, like weight has a lot to do with it, weighting
less than half a TJ. Shocks and springs that will absorb the torque and
weight and start it up hill without bouncing. I do drive a couple of
Thunderbirds if I want a cushy ride to go to Vegas or a Bronco tow
vehicle with.
