Farewell All
Wow, I can't believe it's been 4 years already! My TJ lost her DD-ability
and I've moved on to something a bit nicer. I'd post pics, but you all know what would happen (sky falling, etc.)! I got an '06 Dakota with all the goodies, including 4wd. Very impressed. I drove all the small 4-door trucks (except for Tacoma -- nice, but overpriced). This was a close tie with the Nissan Frontier. In the end, this was $2k cheaper and had more comfortable seating. Thanks to everyone for all of their help over the last few years. You've been a great bunch. I'm sure I'll see you on the trails someday -- I'm not done with wheeling, just taking a break until I can build a trail rig that doesn't have to double as a daily driver. - Eric |
Re: Farewell All
Congrats on the new truck. Hope it treats you as good as a Jeep!

Re: Farewell All
Look on the bright side...when your Dodge gets old and its time for a
new one....you won't have to spend time in good-byes to your old club (b/c there is none). Just giving you a hard time for switching to the "dark side." Another note about the "not-dark-side;" I can think of few car manufacturers, makes, or models where the 1988 I am driving is still considered cool! I guess when you buy something it should be iconic, mustang, GTO, and the Wrangler.

Re: Farewell All
I've been tempted to turn to the Dark Side here lately myself. I've
looked at F-150's, Tacoma's, Durango's, Silverados, --name it, I've test-driven it. They're all comfortable, ride smoother than a lady's bottom, get OK mileage, have more power and a LOT more towing capacity than my lowly TJL. And still, I commute and wheel in my beloved Jeep. I can't explain the connection, yet it exists. It is as though it was built specifically for me, and no one else, and that like a comfortable marriage, we both seem to fit each other perfectly. It still bounces the crap out of me when I hit a 1" pothole, hums curiously when I hit the throttle, and sometimes grinds a bit when I grab 2nd. Yeah, there's just SOMETHING about a Jeep, ya know? Congrats on your new ride. Enjoy, and think fondly of your old Jeep. You'll be back. Eventually. |
