Re: Oops
Yeah, that's a tough call. You've got some nice vehicles. If you're
going to hand down the TJ, you'll start jonesing for another Jeep inside 6 mos., if you haven't already purchased one...but personally, I'd always have to have a SWB one. The Excursion/F250 descision would be easy for me.

As I stated in an earlier post, I'll probably sell the Superduty if we decide to get one, but if we do it will be 08 model year at the earliest.
